What are
Search Ads?

Search Ads are ads within a search network (search engine) such as Google or Bing. When someone enters a query within a search engine, your advertisement can appear at the top of the page when you advertise within this search engine.

Did you know that 46% of product searches start on Google? This means that the search network contains a very conversion-oriented target group. 90% of these searchers click on one of the first ads at the top of the page. This immediately shows the importance of advertising on a search network – if your company is at the top, you’ll get more clicks, more visitors, and more conversions!


Why would you
advertise using
Search Ads?

So, search ads are advertisements within a search engine. The interesting thing about advertising within a search engine is that people are already looking for a product or service related to your company. This allows you to advertise within a very relevant group of consumers.

We create a campaign strategy in which we look at which audience is interesting, how this audience searches, which keywords are matching to what the audience is looking for and which are not. With this information, we create campaigns that can achieve your specific goals.

We’re also a premier partner of Google, which ensures that we’re always aware of the latest features, relevant insights and the best training courses.

We do this by combining the knowledge, personality and experience of our customers with that of our own. Together we can come up with the sharpest strategies, unique to the customers’ characteristics and objectives. 

As our customers are always different, we make a custom plan every time. In this plan we will decide together on what success looks like by making it quantifiable, so that every time results are discussed both we and the customer know exactly whether the light is green or red. 

By regularly zooming out, reflecting on market developments and testing with online advertising innovations we make sure to keep up to speed with the ever-changing (online) world. One thing we know for sure is that changes will keep on coming and that our work never stops. Just how we love it.

Personal

We believe that the best way to work together is by really making a team, together with the customer. There is no ‘they’ and ‘we’ there only is us, as we want the best results as much as our customers do.

FAQ’s

Keywords play a crucial role in Google Search campaigns. They determine when your ads appear in search results. Well-researched and relevant keywords increase the chances of your ads being shown to users actively searching for products or services like yours, ultimately driving more targeted traffic to your website. Of course we can help you with finding the right keywords!

There are several benefits in running a Google Search campaign, firstly they allow you to reach users that are actively searching for your product or services. Secondly, they provide visibility on Google’s search results page (where a lot of people start their buyer journey). Lastly, you have complete control over your budget, targeting and ads.

Google Search campaigns work by allowing advertisers to display text ads on Google’s search engine results pages. Advertisers select relevant keywords related to their products or services, and when users search for those keywords, their ads may appear. Advertisers bid on keywords and pay when their ads are clicked on, driving traffic to their website or landing page resulting in conversions.
