In-text Advertisement

It’s the kind of advertisement where the keywords are matched within the content of the webpage used for publicizing purpose. The text ads usually have a short description which is ninety characters long along with two headlines. You have the options to disable the appearance of URL in the ads and today Bing and Google are paying more attention to how these ads appear in the SERP.

You can go for another option which is responsive text-ads, they usually look like regular ads, but this is where the advertiser can upload different descriptions and headlines so Google can shamble them for best results. You have the option to upload up to fifteen headlines but should however upload at least a minimum of 3 captions and descriptions.

App download Ads

Local Ads and Google Maps

The local service ads appear in the SERP and are automatically based on your location, let’s say you are searching for plumbers in a specific area, you will be given information in blocks which will include address, contact number, and the name of the company with ratings. Of course, we always go with the ads that have high ratings good reviews because there’s a very tiny chance of disappointment.

These ads are shot gunned for localized searches and also are not pay per click but pay per lead. The Google ads are sponsored locations and always appear at the top of SERP. The rules are the same, and you will be paying per click, but this time the traffic won’t be generated to your site but to your services information which includes, contact details, directions.
