So, before coming to some conclusion, let’s have some insight into Google ads?



Well, everyone knows that Google is the globe’s biggest search engine platform that tops the list among others. Keeping this in mind, according to one report from Live Internet stats, every single day, Google takes more than 5 billion searches. So, Google ads are a fantastic place where you can market your business. 

Now the question arises what the various ways to advertise your products and services on Google ads are? They are: –

➤ Search network

➤ Display network

➤ Google shopping

Facebook ads



Unlike Google ads, Facebook ads are a paid search. But if you compare both these advertising platforms, then Facebook ads are more famous among business owners. This is proved with the help of the stat of last year, which shows that Facebook ads account for 25% of all online advertising spending.

As the social media platform, it very well knows the behavior of the consumers and its demands, that’s why Facebook is taking over Google. The reason is Facebook engages more data as compared to Google in the form of, likes, current locations, vacations, birth dates, etc. 

Due to this reason, Facebook advertising is one of the popular platforms among all types of businesses, whether they are small or big. 

After knowing about both these platforms, it is time to make a decision. So, now you have to choose one of the two. So, to help you decide, first ask some questions from yourself, keeping your business in mind. Like.

  Take a note on your business goals and objectives. Are your goals focused enough to deliver sales and profit?

If this is the truth, then AdWords or Google ads is an excellent option to market your business. On the other hand, if you are looking to expand your business with reputation and recognition and want a wider audience, then Facebook ads will be an excellent choice.

  Now the next part is if you consider your client industry, then both B2B and B2C companies must use Google ads correctly. Moreover, Facebook ads only work excellent with B2C businesses, as, on the social media platforms, people used to look for only discounted products.

Over and again, there are various points at which Google ads or Facebook ads come first but coming to one conclusion is quite challenging. Because the overall choice depends upon multiple factors like business goals, type of business, total ROI to be achieved, types of clients targeted, etc.


Now it’s the time to wrap it up with following thought:

Google ads help businesses to reach new clients which deliver a high return on investment. On the other hand, Facebook ads help in finding new customers who offer an excellent return on investment in the long run.
