Ad360 hits 250 monthly clicks from Google!

Ad360 just received a new badge from Google highlighting the fact that we got 250 clicks in 28 days from search traffic!

That’s the 1st time we get that many clicks – almost 10 per day!

What’s even more striking is that we had gotten our previous badge, the 100 clicks highlight, in mid-May 2022.

Considering we started producing regular content on the website in January 2022, it means it took us 5 months to reach 100 monthly clicks, but only one month and a half then to more than double this record!

Here is our secret: regular content production!
Almost every day (from Monday to Friday; in our experience posts on Saturday and Sunday get less traffic), we publish a new article in this blog to provide tips to business owners, to help them with online sales, website tips, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) knowledge, advertising and marketing best practices, e-commerce news review, and much more.

We also regularly publish content in our YouTube channel ‘Ecommerce Success by Ad360’ to help you and your business succeed.

Here are a few videos we recently published about Google search, organic traffic generation, search algorithms update, and SEO best practices:

    How we got 200 subscribers on YouTube

    We’re proud to announce today that our YouTube channel, ‘Ecommerce Success by Ad360’ just hit 200 subscribers!

    Thank you very much to all our subscribers and the persons who support the channel growth by regularly liking and commenting under the videos!

    Sure, 200 subscribers is not a lot. By most standards, we’re still a very small YouTube channel. But considering we had 0 subscribers at the beginning of the year, it’s a great progress!

    What’s more interesting is that the growth pace is accelerating for the YouTube channel: whereas it took us 4 months to get from 0 to 100 subscribers, it only took 2 months to get to 200.

    Whereas we used to get around 1 new subscriber a day on average, we’re now getting 2 or 3 subscribers quite frequently.

    This means that the growth rate tends to accelerate the more followers you have. This means that consistency and perseverance are key factors to grow on YouTube (at least for small channels like ours talking about niche topics like how to improve online sales for your e-commerce website on Shopify or WooCommerce).

    We will regularly keep you informed of our progress, and share our learnings along the way, hoping that you get valuable lessons from it! If you haven’t already, we strongly recommend you start producing video content for your brand. This is key to attract new traffic in 2022, as Google will continue favoring video content more and more in the future.

    If you haven’t already, we’d be delighted if you joined us on this journey by liking the video and subscribing to our channel.

    We publish several videos a week on E-Commerce growth, Marketing, Advertising and Website design to help online business owners be more successful!

    Start Ads in One Click with Quick Ads

    Introduction: Announcing “One Click” Quick Ads by Ad360

    If you’ve really dug into online advertising as an e-commerce store owner, you know that the number of options and level of detail… it can really make your head spin!  Normally, setting up ad campaigns for your Shopify store involve choosing a platform, picking a device, customizing your audience, designing ads for each segment, and finally optimizing as best you see fit.  On top of maintaining your store, running basic, effective ad campaigns online becomes a full-time job within itself.

    What if you could do all that promotional work with one click?

    That’s what today’s announcement is about.  We at Ad360 are thrilled to bring you Quick Ads, the most efficient way to organize your next e commerce advertising campaign! 

    Set a Budget, Pick a Location, & You’re Done

    Like we said above, running an ad campaign on other advertising platforms isn’t as simple as it sounds – there are multiple settings to which audience you concentrate on, what visuals you show them, and what writing copy you put up!  You then pick a budget and run “split testing” to determine if one set of ads are more effective than another.  All of that… for one ad campaign.  Oof.

    For instance, just on one platform, there are sometimes 18 unique settings and decisions business owners have to evaluate before successfully optimizing their campaigns EIGHTEEN!

    And that’s before even getting into the design of the ad creative itself.  If you’re not a maestro at Adobe illustrator or photoshop, it can take hours to create a single batch of ad banners that aren’t immediately written off as “unprofessional looking” by online users.  Remember, customers on sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok are absolutely inundated with ads constantly.  If your ad design is even a little off, it will stick out like a sore thumb.

    With Quick Ads, there are two inputs:

    1. Daily budget
    2. Location

    That’s it.  From there, Ad360’s App will automatically generate your ad campaigns to promote your store. It’s that simple!

    Instantly Generated Ad Banners

    Most e commerce business owners out there don’t have the budget for a full-time marketing staff – QuickAds serves as an online marketing and ad design service all in one click.  Instead of manually deciding who to target, on what platform, and when, Quick Ads by Ad360 automatically extracts your e commerce store data to generate dynamic ad banners.  These include pictures of your products, along with their names and prices. If you want to, you can customize the ad banners colors and templates.

    Geotargeted Awareness Campaigns

    After picking a location, Quick Ads will instantly begin an awareness campaign targeting the set region you specified!  We’ll never go over your allotted daily budget, and you will not have to worry about all the manually settings traditionally required for online ad campaigns.  Quick Ads will optimize the back end for you, so you sit back and watch how we build traffic to your store 😊

    Concentrating on your specified region, your products will be visible to locals across the entire web – blogs, news sites, maybe even your favorite mobile app! Imagine playing candy crush and seeing your Shopify store pop up. You’ll probably get a text or two from your friends nearby celebrating the milestone 😊

    Automatic Ad Retargeting of Customers who Browsed your site

    Quick Ads will also automatically “tag” any customers who visit your site, retargeting them with ads in the future.  By analyzing “customer engagement” events, retargeting concentrates your ad dollars on customers who have already expressed interest in your site’s products. On average, 98% of visitors to an e commerce site end up leaving without purchasing any goods.  We can improve your conversion rate by retargeting that pool of customers.  The average online user likes to see between 3-7 ads before they feel they “know” your brand, so ad retargeting is an essential service –  automated by Quick Ads.

    Conclusion – How to Try Quick Ads Today

    If you have ever experienced frustration tinkering with your online ad campaigns, reach out to try a free demo by Ad360 today!  We’re confident you’ll feel a massive burden lifted off your shoulders with our new Quick Ads service.  One click, and you’re ready to go… e commerce has never been this easy 😊
