Advertiser
Senior SEO-specialist
To reach your target audience, you have the opportunity, for a fee, to enlist the help of other parties with the means to reach a group of people, as an advertiser. What exactly is an advertiser and how do ads work? Here we clearly explain the concept to you.
What is an advertiser?
An advertiser is a person or company that places an ad. An ad is an important way for print and online media to generate revenue. On the other hand, as a business, advertisements give you a way to reach your target audience.(1)
More likely to convert as an advertiser
With the advent of online advertising, it is quite possible to target a specific audience. One of the ways this is possible as an advertiser is with targeting advertising. This ensures that the right people see the ad. You do approach fewer people, but you have a better chance of conversion that way.
An advertiser’s impact on SEO
An advertiser itself does not directly impact SEO much. The effects of a successful ad may offer benefits to a website’s SEO. Spreading a message through the right channels increases the likelihood of conversion.
An ad does indirectly affect a positive SEO effect. Have several people seen an ad from a particular party? Then many of these people are more likely to click on a result from this party among the other search results. Presence in ads and the organic search results creates trust and more clicks.
What are an advertiser’s channels?
Advertising can be done through various channels. In this overview you will find the most commonly used channels along with the benefit per channel.
| Advertising channel | Advantages |
