What Is Google Remarketing and How Does It Work?

So many businesses utilise Google Remarketing because of how effective a marketing technique it is. It allows you to remain connected with your customers even after they’ve left the site. As a result of promoting yourself to previous visitors, you are increasing your brand awareness, raising trust and making customers more likely to purchase from you. 

 

Reports show that remarketing ads have a much higher click-through rate and conversion rate than typical ads. This leads to better conversion rates, which can be incredibly beneficial for businesses. With that in mind though, is it worth the cost? 

 

The overall price widely depends on how this campaign will fit into your online marketing strategy as a whole; however, generally speaking, Google Remarketing ads are some of the most cost-effective ads that you can buy. 

 

Search ads in competitive marketing industries can sometimes cost hundreds, but in stark contrast, if you take out a social media remarketing ad, clicks can cost anywhere from 2 – 100x less than that. 

 

Of course, there are a number of different remarketing campaigns available. When you first sign up, Google recommends that you send remarketing ads to anybody who visits your website. The issue with this method is that it will lead to increased costs due to the fact you will be generating more clicks and these clicks may not necessarily lead to conversion, due to the fact that the people revisiting may not actually be interested in purchasing anything. Realistically, it makes more sense to narrow your searches. The different types available are: 

 

 

Standard remarketing is when ads get shown to customers who have visited your website previously. They are shown in apps or on other web pages within the ad network that you have chosen to use (e.g. Google AdWords). 

 

 

Also known as dynamic ads target customers who have shown an interest in a specific product or service. 

 

 

This involves videos that potential customers have interacted with on YouTube and uses that information to show them different targeted ads. They also appear on YouTube, usually at the beginning of a video. 

 

 

This method utilises mobile apps and websites specifically. It is incredibly useful if you are looking to target a group that shops primarily on their phone. 

 

 

Interestingly, this remarketing focuses on emailing as opposed to generating online ads. If you have managed to collect the email address of a customer because they have purchased a product or signed up to a newsletter, this information can then be added to a database and used as part of a mass mailout. Similarly to other methods of remarketing, it focuses on promoting products that consumers have already shown an interest in. 

 

 

Finally, search engine marketing practices showing ads to people who have visited your site and continue to search for related products. It can be very useful as you will be advertising to customers who are still interested in your products. 

 

Creating an ad can be complicated at the best of times; however, creating one for remarketing can be even harder. Not only are you trying to draw users back to your site, but in doing so, you are trying to highlight to them what they missed out on by not buying something the first time. There are tools available to help with Remarketing but a lot of organisations opt instead to use the help of digital web agencies.

Google Remarketing can be an incredibly effective way of increasing the conversion on your website. Whilst other kinds of advertising can be useful, when you use specific remarketing, you are showing your product to people who you know are in the market to buy your product. It can be difficult to generate effective ads that draw people back and lead to conversion so as such, it would be prevalent to utilise the services of a professional company who is experienced in Google Remarketing.
