As an Amazon seller, you already know that visibility and reach are key to growing your business. Since only about half of Amazon users start their searches on Amazon, it’s no longer enough to rely solely on Amazon search to ensure customers can find you!
Your ads need to be where your customers are, and with billions of searches happening each day, that’s Google. Amazon agrees and even offers a 10% incentive for sales that come from external sources like Google.
If you’re not using Google Ads, you’re missing out on multiple benefits, including:
- Increased visibility - Displaying your ads on Google search results pages and other websites within the Google Display Network allows you to reach a larger, more diverse audience.
- Ability to target specific demographics and interests - Reach the most targeted audience for your ads based on location, language, age, interest, and behaviors.
- Easily track and manage campaigns - Integrate with Google Analytics and Google Ad Manager for in-depth insights into the performance of your ads to help you make data-backed decisions about future advertising.
