If you want to expand your PPC beyond keyword targeting, Jacqueline Dooley has five tactics you can test from within your Google Ads account:

  • Display ads: advertisers can experiment with ad formats, different targeting criteria, and creative while reaching a large audience.
  • Video ads: YouTube supports interest targeting, affinity audiences, life events, remarketing audiences, placements/channels, topics, keywords, and devices.
  • Shopping ads: rely on merchant product feeds rather than keywords for targeting.
