But they’ve gone away to a different platform, like Facebook. What you can do Google ads, you can say, even though they’ve gone away from a website.

I can show these people ads based on the page that they’re looking at, or the products that they’re looking at. To re invite them to come back onto your website again. And let’s face it, how many websites do you visit a day?

And it’s always the case that hey, which website do visit wait had that product for servicing. So with remarketing, you bring him back users that you may have otherwise had lost Creek experiments with Google ads. It could be that you’ve got a new product launch, or you’ve got a new service. And he’s gonna see how that service goes here. Rather than waiting weeks and weeks or months, for your organic rankings to to catch up. You can create a campaign right now.

Such as Facebook now but then again I would argue that the quality of the clicks that you’re getting from Google Ads is 1010 times higher. Because you are attracting people who are actively looking for your products or services.

Just think about it. Last time you wanted to search for a product or service. Where did you go, you didn’t go to Facebook to look for that product or service. More than likely you would do platforms such as Google, he typed in what you wanted to search for.

Hence, the reason though, the cost per click might be higher, the quality is exponentially higher. Another downside of Google Ads is that, you know, it does require a level of expertise. So you can’t just go in and start, you know, creating campaigns. Otherwise, you could end up whereby it’s costing you a whole lot of money. And you’re not getting your returns on investment. So you know, it could be that, people say. Hey, Google Ads doesn’t work. It’s not it’s purely it doesn’t work.

It just that it hasn’t been set up correctly, to make it work for your business. So what I would advise if you are going to implement a Google Ads campaign, seek help from an expert. Who does this day in day out and they know what nuts and bolts to turn in order to Bing. The sales, the leads, or or the conversion that you expect.
