Google Demand Generation Ads

PAID SEARCH & DISPLAY

Your Ads On YouTube, Gmail, Discover & More

Google Demand Generation Ads are the evolution of Discovery Ads, designed to help advertisers reach high-intent audiences with visually engaging, immersive creatives.

 

These ads leverage Google’s powerful audience signals, AI-driven bidding strategies, and seamless placements across YouTube, Gmail, the Discover feed and more recently, the Google Display Network to drive meaningful engagement and conversions.

 

By harnessing machine learning and first-party data, Demand Generation Ads enable businesses to target users who are actively researching, considering, or ready to take action, ensuring brands connect with the right audience at the perfect moment. With visually appealing formats optimised for mobile and desktop experiences, these ads help brands cut through the noise and make a lasting impact.

 

Whether your goal is to drive purchases, generate leads, or increase brand awareness, Google Demand Generation Ads provide a smart and scalable solution to fuel your digital marketing efforts.

 

These ads will appear in a swipeable, carousel-style format, combining eye-catching images or videos with ad copy. The ads are targeted based on users’ interests, behaviours and preferences, making them more personalised and relevant to individual users.
