The Google Display Planner is a great tool to expand the reach of your display campaigns while targeting relevant users for your business. The Google Display Planner has been rolled out recently and it has a very smart way to identify great display network keywords, placements, topics, and interests.
Getting started with the Google Display Planner
You can locate the Google display planner by logging into your AdWords account and selecting “Display Planner” under the “Tools and Analysis” menu.
In the Display Planner:
- Tell Google what your customers are interested in. You can use a word, a phrase or a set of keywords separated by a comma.
- Give Google your landing page URL to find relevant targeting suggestions.Please keep in mind that you can also decide to insert either the keywords or the landing page only if you prefer to not run both of the targeting settings above.
- Select the country and language that you would like to target and click on “get ideas”.
Once your request is processed you will get a great choice of keywords, placements, interests, and topics to target.
What can you do now?
- Create new ad groups based on what the tool suggests. You will be able to customize the results to match your strategy
- Filter results by text ads, square and rectangle images, skyscraper images, and leaderboard images
- Filter results by mobile and video ads
- Show only above the fold ad spaces
- Filter the operating system of app placements
- Find out more about age and gender of the available weekly inventory for your search results
- Add the results directly to your account. They will be added as paused for you to work on them and create tailored advertising strategies.
You can put together planned ad groups in the “your plan” part on the right sidebar by going on one or more of the “ad group ideas” or “individual targeting ideas”. You may next assess the plan and get an approximation of impressions, unique visitors, and costs. Fiddle with it until it best fits your campaign objectives and then download the plan or add it directly to your campaign.
