Google Ads (adwords)
Google Ads, previously Google AdWords, is one of the most effective and popular forms of online advertising, as it appeals to users who are actively searching for certain products or services using the Google search engine at a specific time. When a user enters a keyword previously specified by the advertiser into the search engine, the ad is displayed.
In addition to advertising on the Google search engine, we can also advertise through Google Ads by using image ads that appear in many different places online, using videos on YouTube, e-mail ads on Gmail, and so on. In total, if we subtract the ads in Google search results, other ways of advertising on Google Ads can reach about 90% of Internet users worldwide through YouTube, Gmail and millions of websites across the Internet.
Google Ads Search – Advertising on the Google search engine
Search advertising is the main form of advertising through Google Ads. The ads placed here will appear in Google search results when users search for a specific keyword linked with the ad. This method of advertising is very effective because the user is generally in the last stage of purchase, meaning that they have already decided to buy a product or service. By searching on Google, the user reviews and compares offers at this stage of the purchase – it is therefore important that your offer appears as high as possible among the search results. If your website appears on the second page of Google search results for a specific search keyword or even further down, it is very unlikely that the user will even see your offer, even if they would find it interesting. Even if your website appears in the lower half of the first page of Google search results, the probability of a click is much lower than if it were at the top. With Google Ads, however, your website appears at the very top, among the top three search results.
Why advertise on Google Ads Search?
- Reach
The Internet is used by over 80 percent of the population of Slovenia, and more than 97.5 percent of them use the Google search engine. The reach of users is already very high, and the number of users is increasing even further. - Relevance
Ads are displayed to the users who search for your product or service at a given time. In addition to the very specific customisable conditions regarding search queries that will show your ads, you can further limit when your ads will be displayed, depending on other factors. With ads, you can focus only on geographic locations that are important to you, age groups of users, gender, interests, etc. - Yield
Pay per Click – You only pay when a potential customer clicks on your ad, visits your website, or calls you. If your ad is displayed and the user does not click on it, you are not charged for the ad displayed. You can set your budget yourself. - Results

Google Ads Display – Advertising with ad banners
Google Display ad banners are displayed to users across millions of sites throughout the Internet. This type of advertising primarily targets users according to their interests, which are gathered based on their online search history. We can further subdivide this target group based on information such as user location, gender, age, etc. This way, we can show ads to users who are generally interested in your product or service but are not actively searching for the product using the Google search engine at that specific time. As with Google Search ads, the ad banner will be displayed for free until a user clicks on the ad; however, as the ad appears more often than on Google Ads Search and users are not in the final stages of purchase, Display ads are very good for raising brand awareness. When the user finally decides to buy the product or service they were interested in, they will remember your brand because of the ads and visit your website.
Display ads are also very useful for users who had visited your website but did not make a purchase, as there is a good chance that the user has not yet bought the product or service they were interested in, but still has an interest in; Google Display ads can remind the user to buy a product or service while they are browsing the web.

Google Ads – YouTube advertising

Advertising process on Google Ads
The success of Google Ads campaigns depends on many different factors; however, the most important is an appealing ad that is substantively linked to the content on your website. For Search ads, Google uses many factors that make up the Quality Score to calculate the position of your ad. For the Quality Score, it is very important that the content of the search string, ad, and website are related, that the ad includes additional elements (phone number, location, etc.), that the maximum cost-per-click (maximum CPC) is set correctly, and so on. With Display ads, it is more important that the look of the graphic ad itself is appealing to the user – it helps if the ad is animated, as this allows us to convey more information to the user.
