- 14. 14twitter @meetsamir Where to Start? • If you’re trying to drive sales, have a limited budget, and need your advertising investment to deliver a specific return, or at least be directly profitable, start with the Search Network only. • If you’re trying to drive sales but you feel you’ve exhausted the Search market and still have additional budget to spend, expand to Google Display Network (GDN ) & Adwords for Video (AFV) targeting. • If you’re trying to drive sales plus expand awareness and grow your brand, go with all three. • If you have a product or service that’s not well known, and users aren’t likely to search for it directly, or it’s value is hard to explain in a text ad, stick with GDN and AFV targeting. (Video can be particularly useful here!)
