Where to Start?• If you’re trying to drive sales, have a limited budget,
and need your advertising investment to deliver a
specific return, or at least be directly profitable, start
with the Search Network only.
• If you’re trying to drive sales but you feel you’ve
exhausted the Search market and still have additional
budget to spend, expand to Google Display Network
(GDN ) & Adwords for Video (AFV) targeting.
• If you’re trying to drive sales plus expand awareness
and grow your brand, go with all three.
• If you have a product or service that’s not well known,
and users aren’t likely to search for it directly, or it’s
value is hard to explain in a text ad, stick with GDN and
AFV targeting. (Video can be particularly useful here!)

Actions• Grow Fast or Die Slow
• Markets are hyper-competitive and inflated
• Companies are using Artificial Intelligence,
Math and Stats to gain competitive

minds and paying billions for them. It’s the
TEAM stupid.
• Easy to spend money, hard to make money
• Bottom-line : Pay attention OR you will end
up in the dead pool.
