Google Discover is a Powerful Way to Drive Traffic
Caption: Using AI, Discovery Ads places your ads in front of relevant audiences based on their interests, but there are still some key components and best practices to consider when designing your ads.
A study by Abby Hamilton at Search Engine Journal revealed that Google Discover works across a diverse range of businesses and content types. Discover ads effectively increased traffic for e-commerce sites, news sites, entertainment, travel, business-to-business, education, finance, health and automotive.
These traffic drivers have worked to send users to product pages, blog posts, news feeds and more. The shelf life of relevant pages in Discover can sometimes only be a few days but with consistent content and promotions evergreen content has been known to boost organic traffic considerably. The possibilities of promoting with Discover ads are endless.
One powerful tool we recommend for learning about the vast possibilities of interest connections is Entity Explorer. Type in a word related to your product or brand and get instant results of related topics that can be used in your strategy.
Given the simplicity of reaching audiences, it is still vital for brands to provide useful content. Content needs to resonate with users or else they will not develop a connection to your product or services. This applies to the content page you send them with your ad, but also on the ad itself. It is recommended to have a powerful image to accompany text that will drive interest and traffic to your site.
It is also important to consider a strong YouTube strategy to accompany your Discover ads. Discover ads can drive traffic to a YouTube channel where visuals and sounds can promote an even deeper connection with your brand.
