Google Ads vs. Facebook AdsWhich One Should You Use for Your Business?

🚀 Google Ads (a.k.a. Search Ads)

Best for: Catching people actively searching for what you sell.

✅ Pros:

  • High Intent: Your ad shows when someone types in something like “affordable wedding photographer” or “best coffee near me.”

  • Fast Results: You can start getting clicks and calls within hours.

  • Great for Local Services: Especially strong for businesses like salons, plumbers, coaches, or consultants.

⚠️ Cons:

  • Can Get Pricey: Competitive industries pay more per click.

  • You Need a Good Website or Landing Page: Otherwise you’ll lose people fast.

📲 Facebook Ads (Meta Ads)

Best for: Building awareness and reaching people based on interests, lifestyle, or demographics.

✅ Pros:

  • Amazing Targeting: Show ads to new moms, dog lovers, yoga fans, or people in your zip code.

  • Creative Flexibility: Great for image and video storytelling.

  • Great for Building a Brand: Especially for e-commerce, fashion, beauty, events, or niche products.

⚠️ Cons:

  • Lower Intent: People aren’t searching for you—they’re scrolling. You have to catch their eye and spark interest.

  • Takes Time: Facebook works better over time as your audience warms up.
