Social Media and Search are closely Connected
The story is pretty basic when people are in the discovery phase of finding out more information or reviews about a product or service, they
use a variety of channels including social networks.
When it is done correctly, social media advertising has a larger audience size and lower cost per acquisition than search advertising, and it can deliver higher quality ad placements compared to display networks. The trick is finding ways to make it profitable while keeping the ads fresh.
In 2014 a study conducted by Kenshoo analyzing 1,000’s of ads in a 2 week period, found that running Facebook ads incongruence with paid search significantly increased conversions, with an average of more 19% better uptick with people who saw the PPC ads and Facebook ads compared to those who only saw PPC ads. Another bonus was that among those who saw both social and PPC advertising, there was a 10%, Avg decrease in cost per acquisition (CPA) because of the increased conversions. Facebook added new templates for canvas ads that advertisers can use to create more immersive experiences for consumers. Advertisers will be able to create fully-branded, interactive ads, along with full-screen video, product information, and other content.
