The Google search network is Google’s most popular advertising network. The search network contains advertising locations like the actual search results on Google, other Google sites like Google Maps, and Google Shopping, as well as other partner sites that Google will show text ads on.
The paid text ads that you see at the top of Google search pages come from advertising on the the Google Search Network. Your ads are displayed when someone searches for something that contains the keywords or key phrases that you have associated with your advert.

F.A.Q.
How quickly will I start to see results?
With all of Google’s Advertising campaigns with the exception of Retargeting campaigns, you will start to see conversions as soon as the campaign is launched. With Retargeting, there is a 2 weeks lead time after the retargeting tracking code was added to your website before the campaign goes live.
Which of the Google Advertising Networks is the best?
Unfortunately, there is no “best” Google Advertising Network, each network is designed to serve and target a difference audience and function. If you are unsure which Network you should advertise on, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Do I need a custom landing page per ad?
No, you do not need a custom landing page per advert. We can direct the advert to an existing page on your website.
BUT! Custom landing pages can vastly improve your conversion rate. The landing page should continue where the ad left off and then go on to close the sale. The extra cost of having a custom landing page per ad is well worth the investment in additional sales over the life of each advert.

Do custom landing pages affect ad performance?
Yes, according to Google, part of the Ad Quality Score is determined by the landing page experience. Among the things that Google evaluates are:
- Relevance and usefulness of the page content
- The authority of the landing page content.
- Easy of navigation by mobile devices and desktop computers.
- How fast the website and landing page loads.
The Ad Quality Score has an impact on the calculation of how much you pay per click or view.
How much should I budget for my ad campaign?
Your budget will depend on how many ads you have, the market you are targeting, and your competition. We can help recommend an ad budget that will align with your goals. Contact us for additional details.
Will an Ad campaign help my ranking position?
A Google Ads campaign will immediately increase website traffic because you are paying for your ads to appear on Google search engines. Google Ads introduces your products or services to new people actively searching for them. This strategy is recommended if your website isn’t appearing on the first page of Google search results. Google Ads helps millions of business reach new customers, and increase brand awareness, traffic and sales or leads.
In short, Google Ads can get businesses appearing on the top of the first page of Google within hours, but the moment you stop your paid campaign, your top position goes away. There are no residual leftover effects on ranking. Consider both a Local SEO program in conjunction with a paid adverting campaign.
Will my Ads rank #1 in Google?
Paid Ads in each Google network rank differently, but we will look at Google Search Network since this is the most popular platform. On the Search Network, Google puts paid ads into the first 3 positions, so if your ad qualifies, it will show up in one of these positions.
Once your ad goes live, there are many factors effecting its positioning. Some of the factors determining this positioning are:
- How many competitors are vying for the same keyword or key phase?
- What is the quality score of your ad?
- What is your budget per keyword or key phrase?
- How concentrated is your market?
We will analyze all these factors and make recommendations to help you achieve the best possible results for your budget.
How long will it take to see goals achieved?
As soon as your Google Ad Campaign goes live, data (like clicks, cost per click, and impressions) can start collecting within a few hours. However, it takes time to gather enough statistically significant data to analyze patterns and trends to make optimizations to your Ad Campaign. Achieving business goals with any Google Ad Campaign can range from a few days up to twelve months.
What tasks does My Local Rize do each month?
