With a pay-per-click (PPC) method, you can get your ad on the first page of Google search results and on Google’s Search Network by only paying for the clicks you get to your site. It’s targeted, grows your traffic fast and improves your organic search results.

Remarketing (i.e. remind them)
With remarketing, you can target potential customers who have been to your site in the past and shown some interest in your services, by getting your ad in front of them while they browse other web pages. This is a great way to keep your brand name at the top of their mind because these people are more likely to come back to your site than those who don’t know much about you.
Display Ads
Need more than words to promote your business? If you sell more by showing or demonstrating instead of describing your services, then display ads are for you.
These are in a visual format that include text, static and animated images, rich media and video ads which are displayed on Google’s Display Network. The eye-catching layouts, images and interactive elements make the ad stand out and are effective in attracting customers.
