Every business has a story, and AdWords helps you tell your story to the people who are the most interested in it, your customers. No matter where your customers are or who they are, AdWords helps you connect them with your business. Here is some advice on how to connect your company to your customers in the most cost effective way.

Try different Ad Formats

AdWords are much more than just text ads. There are several different types of AdWords media. You can use Image ads to showcase a new product and catch people’s attention, or you can also use video ads on YouTube or other popular websites to intrigue customers. There are different styles of ads are effective at retrieving more customers from more places online.

Make it easy for your customers

Try making it easy for your customers to view and purchase your products. Do not make allow any roadblocks that might make it more difficult for them to find the information that they clicked for. Make it easy on them by making clear and expressive ad text that leads to a landing page that is exactly what is in your ad. As well, try making your ads easily applicable and accessible for all devices, as some people are searching for products on their mobile phone.

Experiment

Ads sometimes gets mixed into heavy competition for top positions. You need to make your adtext and other forms of advertisements stand out. Experiment with your messages and format. If one ad is not working, try out a different one. For instance, if you are selling shoes and your adtext is promoting the color but is not working out, try promoting the price instead. If people aren’t clicking your text ads, try using image ads. Video ads are also very effective because they are intriguing and captivating if produced well. Experimenting with your ads is the one way to see which ads work best and bring you the most customers.

Banner Ads

Banner ads are a very common form of advertising, but it is a very misused method. The average internet user views over 1,700 banner ads a day and they only gain around 1 click over 1000 impressions, so making yours stand out can be very difficult. However, there are ways to make your banner ad more memorable.

Find your target audience

The first step is to find a website that has a high traffic volume and is relevant to your target audience.
It is not wise to place a banner ad dedicated to feminine hygiene products on a website dedicated primarily to men. It would be better to place an ad like that on a health website or even a woman’s fashion site, for example.

Check the facts

Check the statistics of the site before placing any advertisement on it.
For example, check the traffic of the website from the current year and the last year and compare them- have the traffic increased or decreased?

There are also different types of banner ads:

Flash Banners

These banners are ads that are incorporated with animation and other special facts
They are more interactive, thus more eye-catching
They receive higher click through rates than any other form

Gif Banners

Banners that are created in a GIF file format, in which a series of individual images are played in sequence.
Usually a very short video, it is the most cost effective method used by small businesses that want to promote using banner ads.
The timing of the banner can be controlled; as well as more special effects can be used since the smallest web color palette is used.

Static Banners

Banners that are still single frames with an image or catch phrase.
Shows a very definite and “to-the-point” call to action.
Very cost effective, and not risky when experimenting with different ad formats and establishing your target audience.

Overall, experimenting with different ad formats is the only way to determine what works best for your business. From text ads to the many different forms of banner ads, trying different things out is a integral of a successful adwords campaign.

I did my research because I know a lot of SEO companies exist and wanted to choose the right one for me. Wisdek's reviews on BBB were good and they explained themselves quite well in my opinion. I approached them for a website design and online marketing program. They took the time to understand everything that I wanted to include in my website and made recommendations even before I signed with them to ensure everything was user friendly and also stayed within Google's guidelines. Next, they treated me with respect and advised us of how long it would take to get ourselves noticed online. All reports are delivered on time and everything is explained to us monthly. Due to their efforts I have been able to gain more clients and people to my website so If you are looking for a company that will simplify the Website and online marketing process to you and show you realistic results at a good price, Wisdek is the way to go.

We started working with Wisdek in June of 2016. We have approached them with an idea that shortly became our core business. They developed our website within one month. We were very happy with the process and communications. We just opened our store location and Wisdek's technicians helped us set up email, hosting and Google maps. We are very excited to start our search engine optimization campaign and grow our business nationwide.

I’ve been with Wisdek for over 2 years now and I am very pleased with their service. What was promised, was delivered. About 3 months after I started I began to enjoy good rankings across Google, Yahoo and Bing. Also, the cost was not unreasonable! Wisdek’s service delivers more leads than posting an add in an old fashioned printed directory and is more affordable than print listings were 5 years ago!
Today I have expanded my services with Wisdek from my beginnings in SEO, to PPC and Content Network Advertising. The return on investment has been incredible. I truly believe Wisdek offers their clients cutting edge marketing services and puts businesses where people are searching. I would like to recommend Wisdek to anyone who needs consistent leads for their business.

Northgate Chiropractic & Massage Therapy Centre in Calgary has used Web based advertising and marketing since 2004. As a result of continual investment and effort, our web site always came up first in local searches. The payoff came 3 years ago when people really began to use search as a way of finding our services. Last fall, our internet traffic slowed considerably and we noted that our search listing had dropped from first on page one to the middle of page four, literally making us disappear.
One of our service providers, Eran Hurvitz of Wisdek, explained to us that Google had changed their rules for search and were imposing a penalty on our web site for having back links. (The very thing they promoted previously as improving our web site standing). This penalty resulted in our listing being dropped to page four. There were thousands of these links and it looked like a significant job to remove these links. Eran offered the services of Wisdek to clean up these links and petition Google to remove this penalty. It was initially estimated to take 3 to 6 months to complete this task. To our great pleasure, Wisdek achieved the penalty removal in just over one month. We are now back on top for our local area and are very pleased with Wisdek’s service.
I would strongly recommend Wisdek and for web based service.

Our Firearm Safety Training business did not exist before we started working with Business Media and Wisdek. Business Media built us a beautiful SEO-Ready website from scratch that is now pulling in leads left right and center. Wisdek applied their most affordable SEO package for local coverage, and it was so effective that we started to rank all across the PROVINCE!
Business is so good that the phones are now ringing daily. We are happy to report that we will be opening a second location as well as a massive firing range in the next few months to capitalize on the overflow. We are actually going to upgrade our campaign with Wisdek to push our business even harder!!
