The Benefits of Advertising through GDN

The main advantage of GDN is that you can modify various details and define the audience you want to target, and GDN has a variety of placement formats to choose from.

So, let’s get started on how to do Google Display Network ads.  

A Step-by-step Guide on How to do GDN Ads

1. Log in to your Google Ads account and select “Campaigns”, then click ”+”. The menu will show “New campaign”.

2. Select the goal for the campaign, which could be Sales, Leads, Website Traffic, Product and Brand Consideration, Brand Awareness and Reach, or App promotion. After selecting the goal, Google Ads will choose the ad format to match your goal. If you do not have a specific goal, click “Create a campaign without a goal’s guidance”, and all Google Ad formats will be displayed.
   

3. After that, select a campaign type and click on “Display”, fill in the URL for the landing page, create the campaign name and click “Continue”.

• Enter your bid amount for the ads. Google will estimate the price for your consideration. However, if you can’t decide how much to spend, you can also choose automated bidding or bid strategy.
