Google Ads campaign types
1. Search
Search ads appear next to Google search results and on other Google partner sites, like YouTube, when people look for businesses like yours.
With a Search campaign, you can make sure potential customers notice your brand, consider your products, and take action.
2. Display
Google Display ads can appear across a network of more than two million sites and apps, reaching 90% of people on the internet. Your ads get matched to content related to your business or to your customers' interests.
Use a Display campaign to increase exposure and reach audiences with specific interests across the web.
3. Video
With Video ads, you can reach the right audience at scale and capture their attention. Show your ads on their own or within other streaming video content on YouTube and across Google’s network of websites and apps. Only pay when people choose to watch your ad.
Video campaigns help you bring your business’s story to life. They engage customers in different ways, like showing ads before their favorite music video or while they're researching an upcoming purchase.
4. Shopping
Shopping ads appear on Google Shopping next to search results and near text and responsive ads. Shopping ads promote your products by giving consumers detailed information about what you're selling before they even select your ad.
Use a Shopping campaign to advertise your online and local inventory, boost traffic to your website or local store, and find better-qualified leads.
5. App
After a simple setup process, App campaigns run ads across Google’s largest properties, including Search, Play, and YouTube, as well as thousands of mobile sites and apps. Your ads and bids are automatically adjusted to get the most downloads. Just add a few lines of text, a bid, and some assets, and the rest is optimized to help customers find you.
With an App campaign, you can increase engagement, app installs, and even in-app actions, like signing up for a newsletter or ordering a product.
Basic PPC account structure hierarchy
- Create a separate Search campaign for brand keywords. Your brand campaign(s) will perform quite differently from your non-brand campaigns because users are already familiar with the company at some level. You’ll want to be able to budget, manage and report on brand separately from non-brand.
- Be sure to add your brand keywords as negative keywords in your non-brand campaigns to ensure all brand traffic goes through your brand campaign.
- Don’t target more than one network in one campaign. Keep Search and Display Network campaigns separate.
- Create a campaign structure that will support your goals. Your non-brand campaigns might be organized by stage of the marketing funnel, conversion action type, product or service type, geographic targeting and more. The key is to map out a structure that maps to your goals and business objectives.
- Consider the resources you have available for ongoing management. The more campaigns you have, the more time-consuming the management will be.
- Settle on a naming convention that will be clear to anyone managing the campaigns now and in the future. Map this out in a spreadsheet that is available to everyone on the team.
