Understanding the Difference: Facebook (Impulse Ads) vs. Google PPC Ads

Introduction

Hello, I'm Simon Boniface, Managing Director at I Need Leads Ltd. In the realm of digital advertising, understanding the distinction between Facebook (Impulse Ads) and Google PPC (Pay-Per-Click) ads is crucial for businesses aiming to optimize their marketing strategies. Both platforms offer unique advantages and cater to different stages of the customer journey. This paper delves into these differences, the customer journey for each, and explores the various types of ads available on both platforms.

The Basics: Facebook Ads and Google PPC Ads

Facebook Ads are primarily designed to engage users based on their interests, behaviors, and demographics. These ads often appear as impulse ads, capturing the attention of users who may not be actively searching for the product or service but are likely to be interested based on their profile.

Google PPC Ads, on the other hand, target users based on their search queries. These ads are intent-driven, meaning they appear when users are actively searching for specific information, products, or services. Google PPC ads are displayed on search engine results pages (SERPs), partner websites, and across the Google Display Network.

Customer Journey: Facebook Ads vs. Google PPC Ads

Customer Journey with Facebook Ads:

1.       Awareness Stage:       

  1. Example: A user scrolling through their Facebook feed sees an ad for a new type of running shoe. The ad is targeted based on their interest in fitness.

  2. Pros: Can reach a wide audience based on interests and behaviors, great for brand awareness.

  3. Cons: Users are not actively looking for your product, lower intent compared to search ads.

2.       Consideration Stage:

  1. Example: The same user clicks on a video ad showcasing the benefits of the running shoe. They are now considering whether to purchase it.

  2. Pros: Engaging content can deepen interest and understanding, retargeting keeps your product top of mind.

  3. Cons: Requires compelling content to keep users engaged, higher creative costs.

3.       Decision Stage:

  1. Example: The user receives a retargeting ad with a discount code for the running shoe. This pushes them to make a purchase.

  2. Pros: Retargeting helps convert interested users, special offers can drive conversions.

  3. Cons: Users may ignore retargeting ads if overexposed, conversion rates can still be lower compared to intent-driven ads.

Customer Journey with Google PPC Ads:

1.       Awareness Stage:    

  1. Example: A user searches for "best running shoes" on Google. Ads for various running shoe brands appear.

  2. Pros: High intent as users are actively searching, can target specific keywords.

  3. Cons: Competitive and potentially expensive, relies on user initiating a search.

2.       Consideration Stage:

  1. Example: The user clicks on an ad for a specific brand and lands on a detailed product page comparing different models.

  2. Pros: Directs users to targeted landing pages, provides detailed information to aid decision-making.

  3. Cons: Requires well-optimized landing pages, higher bounce rates if the page doesn’t meet expectations.

3.       Decision Stage:  

  1. Example: The user sees an ad extension with a call button or a location-based ad for a nearby store selling the shoes.

  2. Pros: Ad extensions make it easy to take action, can highlight promotions or discounts.

  3. Cons: Click costs can add up, needs continuous optimization.

Types of Facebook (Meta) Ads

Facebook (Meta) offers a variety of ad types designed to meet different marketing objectives:

Image Ads

Conclusion

Both Facebook and Google PPC ads offer unique advantages and cater to different stages of the customer journey. Facebook's impulse ads are excellent for building awareness and engaging users based on their interests and behaviors.
