Google Audio Ads: The Benefits
Radio advertising and search reach 83% of people ages 18-54 (source : https://adwords.google.com/)
Radio advertising is:
- Cost effective
- Highly targeted
- Influential on brand perception
Google Audio Advantages:
- Google audio ads let advertisers hear an air-check of their radio spot so that they can hear the context of ad placement. This gives advertisers transparency into their campaigns that typically doesn't exist in the offline world, eliminating the question "is the spot that I paid for the one I actually got?"
- Reports are automatically generated in real-time, eliminating the potential for human error. Advertisers no longer need to worry about dealing with 60-90 day lag times to get play affidavits and reports. With real-time reporting, campaign optimization is made easy, as station formats, day-parts, and markets, and demographics can be tweaked in a matter of seconds. Google Audio also allows advertisers to do A/B splitting of ad creatives so that different messages can be delivered to different markets, or to take advantage of event-based triggers.
- Google Audio lets advertisers segment their audio creatives with different ads under the same campaign, eliminating the need to do national buys. With Google audio ads, advertisers can target their ads by region, day-part, and station format within one interface.
- Scheduling of spots is done in real-time. If advertisers want to get more exposure on a given day, they can bump up the budget instantly and get additional air play.
- Google Audio ads are easy to track. Radio campaigns can be tracked in two ways:
- Phone reporting - Google will give advertisers a unique phone # that will redirect callers to the advertiser's main phone #. The unique phone # can be used in the radio ad, and Google will provide information on the amount of calls received, where they originated from, the date and time that they came in.
- Web Analytics - By using a vanity URL in the audio ad, advertisers can track unique visitors coming to a given page. We can track these page views using web analytics software such as Omniture or Google Analytics.
- Having radio experience is not required.
