Is Google Ads free to use?

810 total views, 3 views today

Running ads through Google Ads is charged per click, or per 1000 display impressions depending on your billing option. Most business use the per click, model also known as Pay Per Click (PPC). This means you’ll get charged for every click your ads will receive.

That said, you can create an account for free and perform keyword research for free. You can also set up Display advertising where you get free impressions (people can see your ad for free) but only pay for the clicks. This can be extremely inexpensive when remarketing, because your remarketing audience already knows you and tends to click less often. (But each impression reminds them of your business – for free!).

Getting your ads live on Google will lead to a financial outlay, but you can choose how much you spend per day.

Using the services of a Google Ads specialist like Petra Manos from The Quantified Web will help you to get the most out of your budget, because we know which settings to apply to get you a better deal.

Here at 1834 Hotels we centralise the marketing for many different hotels. It can be an enormous undertaking to monitor and track the performance of each one, especially when they are all on separate webpages.

Petra helped to resolve this difficulty by creating a central hub in Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics with Cross-domain tracking and Ecommerce as well. She created many valuable analytics dashboards and reports that draw from the centralized source. Now that we have all the analytics tracking working it has improved the accuracy of our reporting and the insights have helped develop better marketing strategies.

Petra’s skills and wealth of knowledge is fantastic. I would recommend Petra without hesitation.

Petra was instrumental in pulling all our clinic's web analytics into one easy to read, dynamic report that's accessible to me at any time, and works with our EXACT booking system.

This has allowed me to see, at a glance, what marketing initiatives are working, need tweaking, or changing altogether, saving me both time and money. I can't recommend her or her analytic services enough.

Our main purpose for generating these reports is about findings out information that will curb our strategy. The Audience Engagement Report provided us with new findings about our audience. We implemented new marketing elements based on those findings and they have increased sales.
