DRIVING TARGETED TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE IS CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS
Online ads are ads that are displayed as you use the web. In 2016, the amount spent on online ads exceeded the amount spent on TV ads. This trend has continued to grow.
PPC (Pay Per Click aka search ads) places a text ad in front of someone based on the phrases (keywords) that they enter into the browser search bar.
Example: People who are searching for “Dentist” will be shown ads from companies in that industry. Advertisers only pay Google when anyone clicks on the ad.
Display ads use eye-catching images and text and are shown to people who match certain geographical, demographic, or interests that are relevant to the advertiser’s message. Here are a few examples:
Retargeting ads are displayed to people who have visited your website in the past (a warm audience) wherever they’re on the web visiting other sites. Retargeting ads are usually image ads, but text ads can also be used. Pixel tracking technology enables this.
Video ads show short videos to a target audience. Google, YouTube, and Facebook use them.
Average cost per click, cost per thousand impressions, and costs per view, will vary depending on the industry, location, the amount of ad inventory available, and sometimes, the season. But the best answer to this question is this: If they are giving you a positive ROI, they’re inexpensive – if they’re giving you a negative ROI, they’re very expensive.
That’s why it’s important to optimize your ad campaigns and allow a little time to learn how to tweak things like images, copy, bidding strategies, time of day, audience targeting, keywords, etc.
We use a combination of ad platforms so that our client’s ads can be seen everywhere on the web. These are the ad platforms that we generally use in our client’s campaigns:

Optimizing an online ad campaign is a continuous improvement process to constantly improve the ROI.
96% of website visitors don’t contact the business. Retargeting solves this problem by capturing 100% of all your website visitors, making it possible to show them your ads and remind them of your deals, no matter where they are on the internet.
Retargeting is not just for big companies. We almost always recommend creating retargeting campaign alongside a highly targeted cold traffic campaign.
Remarketing pixels capture visitors to your website and displays your ads to them as they use the web. It works like this:
Cold traffic ad campaigns target an audience that is unfamiliar with your products or services but has shown an interest in the types of services and products you offer. This is an important source of new prospects and it feeds new prospects into the retargeting campaign.
The key to successful cold traffic campaigns is to define the target audience using characteristics that match the targeted audience
Cold traffic targeting is an art gained through experience in optimizing campaigns. Optimized campaigns produce more clicks to the website for less ad cost.
