In our live trials, they have worked really well in terms of generating enquiry – here's why we think you should use them in your Agent AIM campaigns. For Agent AIM subscriptions, we have found these ad types to generate some of the best returns on investment and should, in our opinion, be included in the mix of ads.
This type of ad takes a number of input images, headings and descriptions, and tests all sorts of combinations – allowing it to make ads of all sizes and shapes as well. Google can find out who likes what combinations of headings, images, descriptions – and adapts to semi-personalize the ads. This ability to A/B test and adapt helps explain why they work so well. Google is also using a new method of determining who to target these ads to, which so far seems to be performing really well.
Because of the way the ads are created by Google, out of the various component ingredients AIM gives them, there may be some ad combinations you might not like the look of.
Whilst your brand will appear in these ads, its main purpose is to create leads. And if they do a better job of this than regular banner ads, why wouldn’t you want that. Remember that we will also run banner ads, that will be 100% on-brand, to ensure you get a mix of very strong branding and performance.
Our opinion is that, even if you don’t like the look, you will love the results – and know that your brand will be well served by the included banner ads that will run alongside the Google Discovery ads.
This ad type will display on websites and apps, as well as on Youtube (not as a video ad, but a text or banner ad) as well as on consumer Gmail, the world’s most popular email platform.
We offer them on Agent AIM subscriptions, but not yet on property campaigns because Google doesn’t have automation support for this ad type yet. (Coming soon!)
