Digital Marketing - Study Notes:
What is targeting?
Targeting allows us to place our ad in front of the right person at the right time. Targeting our campaigns increases our audience engagement by ensuring our ads are displayed to the right people and as often as possible. Accomplishing this reduces wasted spend and increases the likelihood that campaigns will deliver a strong return in investment for us.
Google Display Planner
You may choose to start your targeting strategy by using the Display Planner Tool.
This shows you the potential reach and cost of your chosen targeting. It can be a good place to start when you start running campaigns for the first time.
Types
When you think of targeting, there are two distinct forms, audience and contextual. Think of it as who and where.
- Audience: Who do you want to show your ad to?
- Contextual: Where do you want your ad to be shown?
Please note that the module slides are designed to work in collaboration with the module transcript document. It is recommended that you use both resources simultaneously.
