Google Remarketing ads

Cookie monster strikes again

Dark Horse’s team discussing Google remarketing ad strategies to retarget potential customers.

Hitting the bullseye

Listen, we’ve all been there. Shouting at our computer ‘why aren’t they F&&&ING BUYING?!?!’. It can only be described as pain and frustration that eats you alive. A solution, you ask? Google Ads Remarketing (or Retargeting). If you think of Google Search Ads as the Sherlock Holmes of intent, then imagine Google Retargeting Ads as the Eurus Holmes of intent, showing your adverts to customers who have already engaged with your products and services.

All of this is great but remember that these customers are also looking at your competitors. So, while you can use your past customer data to inform your strategy, you need an edge to really stand out in the crowd. It’s becoming increasingly important to shout louder than the rest of your competitors (metaphorically, of course), which makes the data only 25% of the solution. You need an angle, something creative, smart and downright heroic to really catch the forsaken eyes of your customers again.

Our PPC Google Remarketing experts will help you reach those past customers and get them to convert so you can generate more of the one thing everyone loves. Money. No mess, no fuss. Just straight-talking heroes and great results.

What are Google Retargeting Ads?

The easiest way to describe Google Retargeting Ads is with the word ‘Stalker’. Yep, an online stalker. Google Ads Remarketing uses a mysterious magical code to collect data when a customer lands on your website. This wonderous code (through some scientific analysis and incredible manipulation) can then be used to fire advertisements back out to those visitors. This repeated connection is paramount to both building brand awareness and enticing customers back to make a purchase.

That’s not even the icing on top of the cake. You can choose where to target them. Oh yes, that’s right. YouTube, Gmail, The Display Network and Apps are all on the table.

This may all sound a bit too good to be true; but it’s not. Here’s Google’s definition straight from their website as proof:

“Retargeting Ads allow your business to show targeted ads to the users who visited your website and didn’t complete a conversion.”

Like we said, there’s no smoke with us. No mess, no fuss. Join the Dark Horse revolution, beat the competition and make sure your potential customers see what you have to offer.

3 key Google Ads Remarketing benefits

Google Retargeting Ad campaigns can be extremely useful… when used correctly. These leads are highly qualified as you’re literally targeting users that are showing an interest in your brand. So, what are the benefits?

Creating targeted ad copy

Fancy giving your past visitors an extra 10% off? Now’s your chance. Want to send your customers to an exclusive landing page? Done. Custom ads can be created for those special users that visit certain products, pages or fulfil certain actions.

Lower costs per click

Qualified Google Advertisement audiences result in cheaper costs per click due to the relevancy of the adverts. While this is still relative to your industry, they will be cheaper when they feature that extra slice of audience remarketing on top.

Increasing conversions

You’ll be thrilled to hear that Google Remarketing results in higher conversion rates, whether that’s through a form submission, PDF download, purchase or phone call. Why? Well, you’re getting those previously qualified prospects back onto your website and giving them a little extra push.

How to set up Remarketing in Google Ads

We’d like to think you’d be shocked to hear that Google owns half of the internet, but they wouldn’t be offering £20 million to put a robot on the moon if they didn’t. This does work in our favour though…

While we know it can be exciting to use every Google Remarketing tool, you need to be careful. Every product, service, brand and audience needs a different Retargeting Ad. That’s why you should carefully choose the best Remarketing techniques that work on your audience.

Remarketing Lists for Search Ads

Providing an extra layer of targeting in your intent-driven campaign, Remarketing lists on Search Ads (aka RSLA) allow for an even more fluid search campaign. Your Remarketing List will perch itself on top of your keyword targeting to get a more defined audience when advertising on Google.

Retargeting Ads top tips

Google Ads Remarketing can make a big difference to your bottom line, but you still need to be careful. Retargeting Ads done wrong can be detrimental to your brand. Imagine being constantly tapped on the shoulder, again and again and again and again. It’s annoying. That’s why cookie durations need to be checked throughout your advertising. Getting them wrong for Google Retargeting will cause ad fatigue and potentially turn leads off your brand.

Figuring out Google Retargeting Ads is like swimming up rapids.

This is how we can help, acting as a beacon in the dark and guiding you forward to find the people who are interested in your business.

Remarketing Ads cost – our opinion

Remarketing doesn’t need to be pricey. But it does need to be right. When costing your advertisements, consider what return on investment you want to see. Retargeting Ads are often cheaper than ‘standard’ advertisements; but there are so many ways to advertise!

Display Remarketing offers more flexibility on bidding, while Search is primarily a cost-per-click model and YouTube a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) model.
