The most common form is search ads, which appear on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) when users search for terms related to your products or services \u2014 a strategy also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/what-is-sem\/\">Search Engine Marketing (SEM)<\/a>. Beyond search ads, Google Ads also offers display ads, shopping ads, YouTube ads, and more.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Google_Ads\"><\/span>Types of Google Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nGoogle Ads offers more than just search campaigns. Here are the primary types of ads you can run:\r\n\r\n \r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Search Ads<\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\nSearch ads appear at the top and bottom of Google\u2019s SERPs. Paid results are displayed above and below the organic listings, making them highly visible to searchers ready to take action.\r\n\r\n \r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/7aNIfaN33T_C1fUUWlfDo-6kIgTWenvx9467-NVq9fRzB9HaWbx6qGR4XF8Pe3u0J46lOk-rcArrWDkmpcJ8eK3U-c1qb8Ee5BGEBgu6TzCole7bog75nfwoTvEfaAekiJR74VrO2P3Vt-kr1bAmIbs\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n \r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Display Ads<\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\nDisplay campaigns appear across Google\u2019s Display Network, which includes third-party websites partnered with Google. These ads can be in text, image, video, or rich media format and can be targeted by audience segments or remarketing. While display ads are less common than before, many brands use them on high-traffic websites or choose <strong>Facebook Ads<\/strong> for more precise audience targeting.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Shopping_Ads\"><\/span>Google Shopping Ads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nShopping ads appear both in regular search results and in the dedicated Shopping tab. Instead of targeting keywords directly, you upload a detailed product catalog, and Google matches your products to relevant searches. You can, however, specify negative keywords to avoid irrelevant impressions.

You can run video, text, or display ads that appear before, during, or alongside YouTube videos. Targeting works similarly to display campaigns, allowing precise audience segmentation.\r\n\r\n <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"345\" class=\"wp-image-6467\" src=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2566-09-08-at-11.49.19-1024x345.png\" alt=\"YouTube Ads\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2566-09-08-at-11.49.19-1024x345.png 1024w, https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2566-09-08-at-11.49.19-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2566-09-08-at-11.49.19-768x259.png 768w, https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2566-09-08-at-11.49.19-1536x518.png 1536w, https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2566-09-08-at-11.49.19-2048x690.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div> \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Google_Ads_Appear_on_SERPs\"><\/span>Why Google Ads Appear on SERPs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nGoogle Ads operates on keyword targeting. Advertisers create campaigns with specific offers and relevant keywords. When a user searches for those terms, Google checks if advertisers are bidding on them. If yes, those ads enter an auction to determine placement.\r\n\r\n \r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">In Google Ads auctions, higher bids and better Quality Scores can secure top positions on the SERP.<\/blockquote>\r\n \r\n\r\nGoogle assigns each keyword a Quality Score (1\u201310) based on relevance and other factors, then multiplies it by your maximum bid to determine Ad Rank. The ad with the highest Ad Rank appears in the top position.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nRelated reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/en\/why-every-business-should-use-google-ads\/\">Why Every Business Should Use Google Ads<\/a>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" class=\"wp-image-6470\" src=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-ads-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-ads-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/asiasearch.co.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/google-ads-1-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div> \r\n\r\nTo win Google Ads auctions and appear for relevant keywords, you need to optimize both your bid and your Quality Score. Factors affecting Quality Score include:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>Ad relevance to the search query<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Keyword relevance to the ad group<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Landing page relevance and quality<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Historical click-through rate (CTR)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Overall account performance<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nBenefits of a high Quality Score include:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li><strong>Lower costs<\/strong> \u2013 Google rewards high-quality ads with lower cost-per-click (CPC), improving ROI.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Better visibility<\/strong> \u2013 High scores increase ad impressions and placement on the SERP without increasing bids.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>More clicks and conversions from top ad placements.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Google_Ads_Works\"><\/span>How Google Ads Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nGoogle Ads uses a PPC model where advertisers bid on specific keywords and compete with others targeting the same terms.\r\n\r\n \r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">Your bid is the maximum amount you\u2019re willing to pay for a click \u2014 your \u201cmax CPC.\u201d<\/blockquote>\r\n \r\n\r\nFor example, if your max CPC is 50 THB and Google determines your actual CPC is 30 THB, your ad will display. If the CPC exceeds 40 THB, you may lose the top position.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nYou can also set a daily budget cap to control spending. Google offers three main bidding strategies:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li><strong>CPC (Cost Per Click)<\/strong> \u2013 Pay when someone clicks your ad.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>CPM (Cost Per Mille)<\/strong> \u2013 Pay per 1,000 ad impressions.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>CPE (Cost Per Engagement)<\/strong> \u2013 Pay when users interact with your ad (e.g., sign up, watch a video).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nGoogle factors your bid and Quality Score to determine Ad Rank. High-quality ads can achieve better positions at lower costs.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Ads_Cost\"><\/span>Google Ads Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nThe cost of Google Ads varies based on keyword competition, industry, location, and campaign quality.
