There are currently over 3.4 billion internet users around the world, and as online store owners, we want to reach as many of them as possible. There are two main advertising platforms that help us get there, Google AdWords vs Facebook Ads. But is one better than the other? Let’s have a more detailed look at both advertising tools below.
Compared to all social platforms, Facebook has the highest number of monthly active users in the world, making it one of the digital advertising top dogs. Facebook helps merchants find potential customers based on the interests and online behavior of users.
The ability for advertisers to stretch their budget while maintaining a good return on investment, is one of the key advantages of Facebook Ads.
Possibility to find potential shoppers based on the interests and behaviour of your current shoppers, allowing you to connect with customers in a way that businesses have never been able to before.
Facebook Ads are designed to be seamless with people’s newsfeed content.Unlike most PPC campaigns and AdWords search ads, Facebook is inherently visual and remains so.
With AdWords, you are paying for the potential of finding new customers based on search phrases and keywords. With over 3.5 billion daily search queries AdWords gives online stores an unparalleled reach to potential customers searching for services and goods.
Through the years AdWords PPC has evolved to include ad extensions, user reviews, site links and location targeting — all providing customization and control to advertisers that are unparalleled. AdWords offers a format to suit any online store, designed to bring more targeted traffic.
The audience volume that Google offers advertisers is by far the most superior and with its continued advancement, this will only increase.
Despite what you believe, it is not advertisers with the largest budget that ‘win’ on AdWords. This is mostly because of Google putting so much emphasis on the quality of the advert rather than how much is spent on the ad.
Here are a few comparative stats on things that matter: reach, targeting, mobile and ROIs.
As you can see each platform has reach, targeting options and mobile advantages, however, the ROI’s are neck to neck.
The bottom line is, that both these platforms perform well and do so in areas where the other doesn’t. To get the most exposure for your store, with the best ROIs, you should be balancing between the two as they complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
