Where do Shopping ads appear?
Using Google Shopping ads could potentially be a powerful way to promote the KidsApparel dinosaur line! But where exactly would your Shopping ads appear?
What are the benefits of Shopping campaigns?
Wow! Your dinosaur Shopping ads can appear in many places! Now your manager wants to know more about how Shopping ads would increase sales. Let’s explore other advantages of choosing Shopping ads.
More qualified leads click your ad
Shopping ads show shoppers exactly what KidsApparel has for sale before they even reach your site, which makes them more likely to click on your ad, make a purchase, and increase your ROI. For example, when Sally does a Google search for “dinosaur shirt” she might see Shopping ads from merchants selling dinosaur shirts. She can tell which shirt fits her taste and whether the shirt fits her budget. This means that by the time Sally clicks on the ad, she has a good sense of the product and its cost, which puts her further down the purchasing funnel compared to the average web user.
Ads are cost-per-click (CPC)
With Shopping ads, you’re charged only if someone clicks the ad and lands on your website. Many businesses experience significantly higher clickthrough rates (CTR)with Shopping ads compared to text ads shown in the same location for shopping-related searches. In some cases, advertisers have experienced double- or triple-standard clickthrough rates.
Ads are displayed on Google and around the web
You can use your Shopping campaign to run Shopping ads on Google and around the web where potential customers can see what KidsApparel is selling. If relevant, a Shopping ad and a text ad can also appear at the same time. This means your reach with shoppers for a single search could double.
You can identify insights and growth opportunities through performance data
See how your products are performing at any level of granularity you want. For example, you can see how many clicks a particular brand of kids’ shirts got just by filtering your products view — no new product groups needed. You can also use benchmarking data to get insights into your competitive landscape, and identify growth opportunities with impression share data and the Bid Simulator tool.
How do Shopping campaigns work?
Your manager is onboard with helping your customers see the dinosaur shirts when they search. He likes that only interested customers are going to click the ad, which is a benefit for your marketing budget. So, now that you’re ready to develop your first Shopping campaign, where do you start?
