There are several types of Display Ads and we’ll guide you as to which will work best for your campaign.
The two main platforms for display advertising are Google – with its Google Display Network (GDN) – which includes YouTube, and Facebook as part of Facebook for Business.
Generally speaking, Google ads are best for product sales and Facebook ads are most effective for developing your brand and a social following. However, rather than being directly opposed to one another, many businesses find their campaigns are most successful when ads are run on both platforms in conjunction with one another.
Responsive Display Ads
Containing headlines, images, descriptions, logos and videos, Google automatically adjusts these ads in size, appearance, and format to fit the ad space. Using machine learning Google is able to determine which combination of assets is optimum by assessing predictions from your performance history. By drawing on data Google shows ads that are useful to customers.
Banner Ads
One of the many types of Display Ads, they are the specific size of 468 x 60 pixels
Text Ads
These appear on Google results pages and sometimes across the Google Network. You’re allowed up to three headlines with a max of 30 characters for each and up to two descriptions, each with up to 90 characters. They are often labelled as adverts and so identifiable as paid promotions.
Image Ads
A still image is accompanied by up to 90 characters of text.
Video Ads
These allow you to convey much more information than Still Image Ads. Being more attention grabbing they have a higher engagement level. They also enable you to establish yourself as an expert or thought leader. Video Ads can be between 12 seconds and 6 minutes long.
Animated Ads
An animated ad is like a GIF. They can be really good fun but can only last 30-seconds, after which it can stop or loop back. They provide information about a product and usually introduce both a problem and a solution.
Native Ads
Also known as Sponsored Ads, users know these are ads but they are designed in a way to fit smoothly inside the path search and so are less frustratingly disruptive and provide a good browsing experience. Specifically, they match the look and feel of the media platform they sit within.
Gmail Ads
Google has changed these and existing Gmail Ads now have a ‘read only’ status. Advertisers can no longer make changes and instead will have to run a Discovery Campaign using Discovery Ads.
Discovery Ads
Instead of being driven by keywords, advertisers can choose which audiences they want to target with their ads. Discovery Ads are also different in that they reach their intended audiences just before they start their search.
This depends on the size and scope of your business. We can’t give an exact price until we’ve carried out an initial assessment, but we do promise to deliver a truly transparent service, ensuring that you are completely clear about the costs of your marketing as soon as they have been determined.
Our team is charged out at an hourly rate of £150 which means planning, strategy, designers and copywriters are all included. It may be that a few hours of consultancy work is all your business needs, or it may be that a more complete service is required which could be 10 or 15 hours a month.
Our comprehensive planning stage ensures that you are happy with the plan and the price is agreed before we commence any work.
Value in expertise

With us you’ll be sure your marketing budget is used most effectively as our careful digital optimisation process and data performance analysis ensures your digital outputs have high impact, bringing you sustained positive results and an excellent ROI.
Accelerated process
It is possible to speed up the process and get results quicker with a bigger investment at the beginning. This means a larger team with more hours to spend on your project, condensing the process time.
As an example, a recent client could see the market opportunity and knew their competitors were extremely active. Not wanting to miss out, they decided to go for the accelerated option. The audit determined a project cost of £1,500 per month, from which they could choose to speed up and pay more or slow down and pay less. They asked us to do the first three months’ work in 4 weeks!
I want to know my precise monthly cost
Because our service is bespoke to best meet the needs of your business the exact price will be calculated following a full audit.
From this point, you will have a clear understanding of what the costs will be in order to achieve the success you seek.
