What are Display Ads?
The Google Display Network
The Benefits of Display Ads
• Excellent for brand awareness
• Inexpensive average cost per click
• Interact (and re-engage) with relevant
audiences in between searches
• Creative visuals entice users to click
• Plenty of targeting options
• Cross-device friendly
• Can act as a supplement to other marketing
efforts
Key Differences From Search Ads
• Lower click-through rate and conversion
rate
• Audience targeting doesn’t allow you
to directly address a user’s intent like
search campaign keywords can
• Unfocused audience targeting can
lead to budget being spent quickly
Setting Up Your
Display Campaign
Display Specific Steps
• Ad Scheduling
• Device Bid Adjustments
• Content Exclusions

high enough to aim for more
clicks per day

best fits your needs and
goals
