Meta Ads can now be expanded into Google Ads

Wondering how to use Google Ads while using Meta Ads?

With the below steps, you can expand into Google Ads.

Step 1

Account and campaign structure is quite different between Google Ads and Meta Ads.

So, pay attention to search intent, performance signals and product categories.

Step 2

Google Ads leverages budgets and bidding differently; for instance, Google Ads can spend up to twice your daily budget (monthly budget divided by 30.4).

And you can also experiment with Smart Bidding.

Step 3

In Google Ads, targeting audiences can be picked from search behaviour & intent signals, first-party customer match data and AI-driven audiences.

This diverges from Meta Ads targeting, giving you more space to target.

Step 4

Google Ads’ effectiveness can be tested via,

• Search & shopping conversions

• Blended MER or marketing efficiency ratio

• GA4 or Google Analytics 4 along with a custom Looker dashboard.

You will have to be patient with Performance Max (PMax), Demand Gen and Shopping ads while testing their performance.
