On the Search Network, average CPC ranges from $1-2. The Display Network sees lower averages under $1. However, very competitive keywords can lead to much higher CPCs – for example, “lawyer” keywords have $6+ average CPCs.

• Choosing product/service-relevant keywords with naturally lower competition
• Writing compelling ads that lead to higher Quality Scores
• Using negative keywords to avoid irrelevant queries

Regularly monitor CPC over time, optimizing for conversions rather than strictly lowering cost. The optimal CPC level depends on campaign goals, target return on ad spend, and other factors.

Complementary Google Ads Formats

In addition to standard search campaigns, we leverage various other Google Ads options as part of comprehensive strategies:

Search Network Campaigns

Our foundation is search campaigns focused on capturing users with immediate purchase intent:

• Keywords are carefully matched to products, services, and conversion goals
• Ads shown prominently above organic results target high relevancy searches
• Landing pages optimized to convert visitors into leads and customers

Search Network campaigns align ads with consumer intent at the critical final research and decision making stage.

Video Advertising Campaigns

We produce and distribute custom video ads across YouTube and the Google Display Network:

• Product demo videos demonstrate usage and advantages
• Brand videos make emotional connections and highlight values
• Testimonial compilation videos socially validate offerings

Video’s sight, sound and motion create engaging experiences, conveying more information and emotion. Views and watch time metrics gauge interest levels.

Display Advertising Campaigns

Display campaigns blanket websites, apps and YouTube channels:

• Visual designs catch user attention, communicating brand image
• Ads link to relevant products, promotions and conversions
• Retargeting keeps messaging top-of-mind with previous visitors

Display ads drive brand lift by putting messaging in front of more audiences where purchasing intent may be lower.

Remarketing Campaigns

We remind and motivate previous visitors across Google’s ecosystem:

• Search ads target return visitors with related purchase intent
• YouTube and Gmail ads follow past visitors analyzing options
• Dynamic customized messaging speaks directly to initial interests

Remarketing campaigns cost-effectively retain potential customers as they evaluate options and move towards decisions.

This diversified Google Ads approach utilizes multiple formats to:
