How to Use Generate Leads For Your Small Business or Charity Using Google Ads Discovery Campaign

In the 21st century world, the process that a consumer takes before making a decision is vast and almost limitless. A consumer with access to the internet is not limited to one channel or device. On the worldwide Web, he is on a continuous journey of exploration and discovery, and his sources come in the form of text, images and videos.

These ads are in-stream ads, meaning they pop up when a viewer is already viewing something of interest on YouTube or other websites and apps in partnership with Google.

This strategy has the potential of getting high engagement as the attention of the viewer is drawn from the thing of interest directly into your ad.

This gives you five seconds to make your viewer connect with your brand or product and feel motivated to learn more.

How do I get the most out of this campaign subtype?

To see significant outcomes worth your investment, you need to address three core areas of your ad:

• Video quality
• Video length
• Bidding strategy

Video quality

Due to the nature of this ad subtype, you only have 5 seconds to convince a viewer that your brand or product is for them, and it is necessary to click on your call to action to find out more.

For this reason, your ad intro, body, and outro need lots of thoughts to properly reflect an understanding of your ideal customer’s personality, needs, and concerns.

Video length

You should try to make your ad length to be 30 seconds. This gives you the chance to convince even the doubters to give your brand and product a try. Fill up the 30 seconds with enough detail to let them know your offer is genuine and what they need.

Bidding strategy

By default, maximise cost per view is the keyword ranking strategy for influence consideration. This means that Google will only charge you for each person that views up to 30 seconds of your video.

It gives you the certainty that each view recorded is someone who listened to all you had to say. And it helps you to determine where you went wrong.

In this bid strategy, you determine the cost per view. Don’t bid too low or too high. Just start on a number you believe each quality view deserves, observe performance, and either scale up or down.

How does a local campaign increase visibility and visits?

Your ad on the local campaign appears across Google Search, Display, YouTube, and even Maps. With 92.47% of all online searches conducted on Google, its digital products reach over 3 billion online users worldwide.

That alone gives your business a lot of visibility when you run an ad campaign on Google. But that aside, Google also uses the “maximize conversion value” strategy on local campaign ads.

This bidding strategy allows Google to optimise your ads to bring the most visits and calls possible on your budget to your establishment.

As such, 80% of local searches convert (consumers end up asking Google for direction, calls your firm, or visits your store).
