Description

Building awareness with Google Ads requires a completely different mindset, and toolset, than driving conversions. In Episode 98 of the Inside Google Ads podcast, Google Ads coach Jyll Saskin Gales dives deep into the specific strategies that help new audiences discover your brand. We cover bidding, targeting and creative tactics for brand awareness, and what campaign types you should and shouldn't use.

Key topics discussed:

  • The difference between bidding for reach versus bidding for engagement
  • Why "Maximize Clicks" might be the best awareness strategy for Demand Gen
  • Why keyword-based audiences don't work on Display campaigns, and what to use instead
  • Lookalikes: worth your money?
  • The ABCD framework for high-performing YouTube ad creative
  • How to genuinely measure the success of an awareness campaign

Plus, stay tuned until the end of the episode for a new Insider Challenge to solve!
