How to use keyword targeting effectively

Digital advertising continues to become increasingly competitive.

So reaching the right audience with the right message at the right time has become more important than ever.

Therefore, let us tell about how to use keyword targeting effectively

One way advertisers can achieve this is through keyword targeting, a powerful feature offered by Ad360.

We enable our clients’ ads to be displayed to a highly engaged audience actively searching for products or services like theirs.

What is keyword targeting?

Keyword targeting is a digital advertising strategy that involves selecting specific keywords relevant to a product or service and displaying ads to users who are searching for or engaging with content related to those keywords.

The most common keyword targeting features are, for instance:

E-commerce brands

  • “running shoes”
  • “smartphone accessories”

Travel company

  • “beach vacations”
  • “flight deals”

Financial services company

  • “investment opportunities”
  • “retirement planning”

This strategy can work and is the most widely used one, but we have gone further to be much more specific, therefore increasing the efficiency of the ads.

How we use keyword targeting

Ad360 takes this strategy one step further by also placing ads on websites where specific words or sentences are written, ensuring that our clients’ messages are displayed in the most relevant context possible.

So instead of keyword targeting only related to Search Ads, we use keywords that will actually be on the websites, blogs, or pages that our customers’ audience are visiting.

Below are just a few examples of how Ad360 uses keyword targeting across various industries to reach a highly relevant audience and achieve advertising goals.

Hotel chains expanding to new locations

  • “Opening a new hotel branch checklist”
  • “Franchise hotel expansion best practices”
  • “Opening a new hotel location marketing plan”

Fitness brands selling a Keto diet program

  • “should I work out during a keto diet”
  • “how to succeed my keto diet”

Software companies selling accounting programs

  • “saving time preparing my VAT”
  • “automating my bookeeping”
  • “avoid spending too much time doing my accounting”

The possibilities are endless, and Ad360’s keyword targeting feature enables advertisers to display their ads to the most relevant audience, increasing their chances of achieving their advertising goals.

We go beyond simple keyword targeting

At Ad360, we understand the importance of reaching your target audience with precision and efficiency.

That’s why we offer a wide range of features that go beyond keyword targeting to help advertisers achieve their advertising goals.

Our platform also offers hyperlocal targeting, cross-channel and multichannel advertising, retargeting, and many more features that help advertisers reach their target audience in the most effective way possible.

Ad360 is a leading digital advertising platform that offers advertisers advanced targeting capabilities, real-time reporting, and a simple, user-friendly interface.

Our platform is designed to help advertisers achieve their advertising goals, whether they’re looking to increase brand awareness, generate leads, or drive conversions.

To sum up, Ad360’s keyword targeting feature is a powerful tool for advertisers looking to reach a highly engaged audience actively searching for products or services like theirs.

By displaying ads in the most relevant context possible, advertisers can maximize their ROI and minimize wasted ad spend.

Web Display Ads – Freedom from Big Tech

“Is there any way to place ads beyond Facebook and Google?”  This is the most commonly-asked question to the Ad360 team.  E-commerce businesses commonly feel “trapped,” as if the only places to advertise are these sites.  Read below to break through this promotional plateau!

The Restrictions and Limitations of Google & Facebook Ads

While their networks are massive and their reach powerful, platforms like Google and Facebook do have limitations when it comes to online advertising.  Their ad networks are “restricted,” meaning any ad campaign you budget only runs ads on their network – nowhere else.  You won’t appear on any blogs that 77% of internet users read regularly.  You won’t pop up on many mobile apps or games. 

This “restricted network” limits your online store’s potential for growth!  Even worse, it makes ads appear in the same context, meaning users can more easily “tune them out.”  Thus, your options to diversify your advertising strategy for Shopify can feel “trapped” within a single network.  If you are having trouble finding success on Google or Facebook, this feeling can be discouraging.  If you cannot figure out how to make Google or Facebook work for your Shopify product advertising, where do you turn to!

Programmatic Ads – Access Every Ad Network Across the Web

Simply put, programmatic ads offer you access to the hundreds of networks beyond Google and Facebook – you are free!  Finally, e-commerce business owners can use a Shopify advertising tool that opens the entire web to ad placements.

Even better, programmatic ads use powerful software that, after receiving your daily allocated budget, will automatically place ads across the web in the most relevant spots to your business.  When it comes to increasing sales on Shopify, there may be no tool better than programmatic ads.  You will appear in a variety of online contexts to your customers, becoming memorable and expanding your promotional reach.  Customers will be impressed – and consider your business more legitimate – just by the fact they see your ads in so many unique spots!  They will assume, “Wow, these guys are all over, huh?  I should check them out.”  When it comes to increasing sales on Shopify and expanding the reach of your Shopify product advertising, nothing beats programmatic ads.

Ad360 Offers Easy Access to Programmatic Ads

Ad360’s flagship service is Quick Ads, which powers entire programmatic ad campaigns in one click.  It really is that simple.  Just enter in your daily allotted budget (along with your location), and our programmatic ad software will automate and optimize your campaign across the web.  You are officially free from the grasp of tech giants!  Check out the power of programmatic ads today, and elevate your advertising strategy for Shopify.

Make Sales Explode with Context Ads

A Crucial Shopify Advertising Tool: Context Ads

Context ads are a must for Shopify business owners.  Instead of targeting potential customers based on demographics or “behavior” – like ad retargeting – context ads provide a refreshing alternative when advertising a Shopify store. 

That’s because context ads don’t require any heavy analysis or previous user data!  Instead, business owners simply pick key phrases and subjects related to their line of products.  From there, context ads automatically “crawl” the web, searching for blogs and site that cover similar material.  That way, only customers with interests specific to your industry see the ads! 

Who Benefits Most from “Context Ads” Shopify Advertising Tools?

This powerful Shopify ad tool is great for new business owners, who do not have a cache of customer data to inform their promotional outreach.  In fact, the “web crawling” service offered by “context” Shopify advertising tools is very similar to the way Google “crawls” webpages when indexing and ranking sites.

For example, let’s say you sell car accessories – think seat covers, custom paints, sound systems, and other little gadgets for a smooth driving experience.  Using “context ads” your Shopify advertising tools will place paid advertising on sites that are found to use keyword phrases like, “cars,” “auto parts,” “customized car accessories,” and “personalized car items.”  Maybe you even include terms like “gearhead” and “car lover” to catch a wider crowd!

People seem to respond well to contextual ads – one marketing study found context ads produced 2.2x better recall in potential customers than other ad channels.  That could be due to the fact users are seeing the ads in a more relevant online environment, meaning their mind is already primed and ready for products related to your industry!

Furthermore, contextual ads have a place in in your future Shopify advertising strategy for a simple reason: they are far less invasive in terms of private data than other targeted ads.  As the web looks to tighten up access to user data, contextual advertising spots will be unaffected by more stringent data protection measures.

Conclusion: Increase your Shopify Sales by Deploying Contextual Ads

Contextual ads were valued at $140 billion in 2020 and are only growing every year.  If you are struggling with your advertising strategies for Shopify, it is highly recommended that you check out context ads!

If you prefer some assistance revitalizing your advertising strategies for Shopify, reach out to try a free demo from Ad360 today!  Check out our app in the app store to refine your online marketing tactics and  increase your sales on Shopify.

Digital Ads: Powerful Internet Billboards

The Role of Visual Ads in E-Commerce Advertising

Digital marketing is arguably defined by the ability to use multimedia (text, photos, videos) in combination to promote your product.  When they say “a picture is worth a thousand words,” here are some stats to back that up:

  • Visual content is processed by the brain 60,000 times faster than text
  • Visual stimuli makes up 90% of all info transmitted daily

If you want to make an impact on your customer, improving your visual ads could be the key to increasing sales on Shopify!  This post reviews the importance of visual ads in ecommerce, as well as how to deploy ad visuals while trying to increase sales on Shopify.

Importance of Digital Ad Design

In the past 10 years, users online have gotten used to bombardments of visual ads across the web, as well as mobile apps.  It’s commonplace to be reading a news article, then suddenly see a visual ad banner for footwear or something completely unrelated to the article itself. 

That’s the first key reason digital ad design is crucial to increasing sales on Shopify – you want your visual ad to be so eye-catching it literally draws the user away from what they were doing and toward your site!  If the visual looks cheesy or unprofessional, users may be wary that the product offered is a scam or low-quality.  Your digital ad design quality needs to match your product quality to boost your Shopify sales.

Digital Ad Design Aesthetics – The Key to Increasing Sales on Shopify

If you notice, major brands like Nike or Apple have perfected the art of making sleek, beautiful, simple ads that showcase their products with vibrant colors and dynamic patterns.  Some of the best ad visuals are basically a beautiful digital canvas with the flagship product in the middle, and a simple slogan like, “Get Ready,” or something that simple. 

How to Create a Facebook Ad Using Stunning Visuals
Note the beautiful hue in the background and the simplicity of the design – the product centered with the logo in the top-left corner.

High-resolution photos, edited to enrich the color scheme, may immediately draw the user’s eye.  Additionally, putting your brand logo in the middle of a beautiful colored background may enhance their perception of your product line.  To increase sales on Shopify, you need to demonstrate that your digital ads compete with the sleek professional designs found across the web.

Keys to Digital Ad Design Success

To successfully increase your Shopify sales, Ad360 has provided a few key pointers to follow when deciding on your final ad design:

1. Use high-resolution photos of stock photos, models, or your product centered on the ad visual

2. Pick colors that complement each other

3. Use big colorful fonts for a short, eye-catching message (e.g. ’50$ OFF!’)

4. Put your product or brand logo behind beautiful yet simple colored backgrounds with bright or neutral hues

5. DO NOT CROWD THE VISUAL OR OVERCOMPLICATE.  ONE PRODUCT, ONE IMAGE!  Only use multiple images if you have a specific design model in mind

6. Gifs and videos work too, but make sure the thumbnail is as aesthetically pleasing as a still visual

Ad360 Can Automatically Generate Eye-Catching Visuals for Your Business

A recent survey found that a majority of e-commerce business owners would prefer automatically-generated ad visuals and designs: it would save them precious time to focus on day-to-day operations.  Thus, it could be argued that automating your ad visuals is a keystone to increasing sales on Shopify.

If you want to try automating your ad visuals, try a free demo by Ad360 today!  On top of a centralized dashboard for all ad campaigns, as well as making ad campaign creation as simple as one click, Ad360 automatically extracts data from your Shopify store to create ad visuals.  From there, you will have multiple options of which one to release across the web, drawing in more visitors and increasing your sales on Shopify 😊
