What is Paid Advertising?

Search engine marketing (SEM) showcases your ads at the top of search engine results pages (SERPs) related to users’ searches.

Social media advertising matches your ads according to the interests and demographics of platform members. The key to success is to use the network that is best suited to your target market, for example, LinkedIn Ads for professionals and B2B, Instagram Ads and Facebook remarketing for a wide reach, and TikTok for GenZ.

Display ads show your ads on websites, news sites, and third-party aggregators.

Retargeting and remarketing use cookies from users’ website visits to exhibit ads related to where they have been.


Streaming ads apply to video content platforms such as YouTube which are free thanks to the inclusion of adverts; as well as Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms like Hulu and YouTube Premium which charge for ad-free viewing.

Podcast ads are a new paid ad opportunity with old-fashioned radio advertising flashbacks. Their power lies in their ability to target niche topics and audiences.

Although some pricing models require you to pay per impression (i.e., according to the visibility you will get),  pay-per-click, also known as PPC, is more commonly used.

Advantages of Paid Ads

The benefits derived from a paid advertising campaign are plentiful:

Fast results to accomplish your goals, be they brand awareness or increased sales.

→ Access people when they are looking for your products or services.

Stand out from your competitors.

Affordable with a strong ROI, set a limit on how much your budget is per day.

→ Measurable reporting, maximise performance by responding in real-time.
