For this reason, it is really the most valuable social media advertising platform for B2B marketing. There are a variety of ad formats, such as: In general, use cases are especially for lead generation, brand awareness, account-based marketing, or to gain more followers to help boost the […]
Formerly known as Canvas ads, Instant Experience ads — also just called “Instant Experiences” — are Meta’s fullscreen interactive ads specifically designed for mobile use.

First thing’s first: Unlike many AI products being rolled out recently, AI Max is an opt-in tool so you can use it or not depending on if you feel it’s right for you. Launched in May 2025, it encompasses a range of tools based on machine learning. This includes generative AI like asset optimization, but also more traditional machine learning to optimize ads with search term matching and final URL expansion. Theoretically the aim of these is straightforward: to improve ad relevance and expand reach. While much of Google’s AI […]
During an election year, advertising spending cumulatively goes through the roof due to the massive increase in political advertising. We often tend to associate this with more traditional advertising methods — like television, for example — as well as in-person campaign events. In the contemporary digital age, however, this means a lot of advertising that’s, well, exactly that. You surely notice the uptick in digital political ads every two and four years yourself, whether on YouTube, social media, or elsewhere. In 2024, Axios projects political spending to be up over 30% […]
When it comes to creating a sustainable customer base, Google Ads can be a critical asset. Along with being useful for growing your business, they’re perhaps even more valuable for driving new customers to a website who will, over time, provide a reliable foundation and the stability that comes with that.

Local Services Ads are a format that allows you to not just advertise on Google, but also, receive leads to your business from potential customers on these ads, either as phone calls or messages. This platform also comes with a Local Services Ads app through which you can reply to messages, track bookings, and manage leads (although we should mention that messaging is currently only available in the US and Canada). There are a few different types of Local Services: Google Screened ads are tailored for professional services firms in […]
When it comes to Google advertising, the Google Search Partners Network is probably one of the more under-discussed tools it offers. Businesses and brands often wonder — with good reason — if the pros are worth it for the potential cons. After all, there is a certain level of ambiguity to it, and there’s far less control over ad placement on Google Search Partners than on Google proper. This uncertainty is exacerbated by the fact that Google doesn’t give a full list of sites or apps within this network, meaning […]

So then why does so much of the online advertising sphere seem to talk like the offline world straight up doesn’t exist anymore? If that’s you, one of the first steps to “un-forgetting” the real world — and how to include it in your digital […]
When designing your ad campaigns, it can be easy to overlook your attribution model. After all, many people running ads don’t even really know what an attribution model is. Of course, it could slip under the radar! There are six attribution models available for Google Ads, and each one is a different way of deciding which ad (or ads) get “credit” for when a user converts.
