Toppers that define GOOGLE ADS UPDATES and the benefits of using the same:

1: THE DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD UPDATE 

The latest Google update proudly called the double-edged sword update includes phrase match keywords and broad match modifiers. While phrase match keywords call for a strict order of words, broad match modifiers only require the keywords to be mentioned; not necessarily in any order. Getting the right target to view your ad is most vital in GOOGLE ADS; there is a huge chance that the audience might be looking for what you offer but using a different keyword causing click-through rates to drop and CPA to raise. The double-edged sword of Google Ad Updates includes words that have the same intent or meaning making the search worthwhile for advertisers and consumers. 

2: AFFINITY AUDIENCES AND IN-MARKET AUDIENCES

Google added two new targeting tools, affinity audiences, and in-market audiences, in the quest for getting the right people to view the ads. These broaden your horizon and invariably lead to more audiences using the same product in different ways. For instance, if one is searching for ONE PERSON SLEEPING BAG, this could be paired with OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST creating top of funnel leads stimulating the beginning of buyers’ journey. 

In-market audiences carve bottom-of-the-funnel customers who are well informed and likely to make a purchase. 

3: ASSETS LEAD GENERATION AND LEAD FORM

Majority marketers’ assets lead generation as their focal point. The reason being lead generation captures immense prospective customer data enabling effective communication, eventually resulting in higher conversions. When a prospect clicks on a call-to-action icon on a Google ad, a lead form pops that can be easily filled and submitted; with contact information from the Google account.  The new lead form ad extension reduces the distance between business and buyer like never before. 

4: GOOGLE AD MOBILE APP

 A Google Ads mobile app is apt for those on the move and can’t be restricted to or stationed in one place against the demands of their work profile.
