What is the Google Display Network?

909 total views, 9 views today

The Google Display Network includes more than 2 million websites, videos, and apps where your ads can appear. These are places like blogs, news sites and apps that have signed up to receive a percentage of your fee to Google when visitors click on your ads. It can also include Google-hosted pages like Gmail and YouTube. Display Network sites reach over 90% of Internet users worldwide, making it an incredibly significant and diverse channel.

The Google Display Network can help you reach people while they’re going about their day-to-day activities on the internet. They don’t need to be signed into a social network for you to benefit.

The Google Display Network also has a wide variety of targeting methods available. Given the sheer number of possible impressions on the
Google Display Network, it pays to target very well and to test your targeting choices carefully. If you don’t, you run the risk of Google placing your ads wherever, and you might not get the results you hope for. You can quickly chew through your budget and get poor results if you don’t plan your targeting and pricing strategy well with Google Display Network.

A pro tip with regards to the Google Display Network – users from Display very rarely convert (transact, signup etc) the first time they see your website. But the GDN is perfect for building a very niche remarketing audience. It is really important to get your remarketing audiences through Google and Social Media setup BEFORE you start your Google Display Network campaign, or you’ll be wasting your budget without this critical piece in your digital marketing strategy.

Your attention to detail is beyond what I had expected. The detail of the data is incredible. The best part though was to learn the profile demographic - which is very different to whom I think I've been trying to target through social.

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.

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.

Hi Petra, Hope you are well, I checked out the Google Analytics and all I can say is AWESOME. You have essentially doubled her revenue in a month and the Google Ads seem to be popping off!

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Petra over the last year and a half. 1834 Hotels centralises marketing for over 20 hotels around Australia, all with different branding and websites. On an analytics level Petra’s skills have allowed us to monitor and track our marketing efforts in the digital space. Bringing Petra onboard to manage our Google Ads was one of the best marketing decisions we have made. Her thoroughness and attention to detail is incredible, her insights have helped develop better marketing strategies and demonstrate to shareholders return on investment. I would highly recommend working with Petra.
