Google AdWords is probably one of the first and most well known advertising platforms that many small businesses have used. While TV, Radio, Newspaper advertisements and other platforms are not “do it yourself” – Google Adwords has almost from the beginning enabled any small business owner, with a small budget, to click, buy and have their message spread all over the Internet.
Whether you own an SEO tools website or you run an SEO business, the ability to track and report to customers the Google ranking for their specific keywords will be an essential part of the service that you provide. Zenserp API enables you to obtain location based and geolocated search engine results. Of course, you could always do a manual Google search and then sift through the results to find put where a client’s website is ranked on the Google SERPs, but no one wants to have to do that, which is where a Google Rank Tracking API comes into play.

At the Google Performance Summit, where we unveil new updates to our AdWords and Analytics platforms, we announced ways we have redesigned AdWords for this mobile-first world. Last year alone, our search and advertising tools drove $165 billion of economic activity for over 1 million businesses, website publishers, and nonprofits across the U.S alone. These tools have an incredible impact on businesses from the largest Fortune 500 company to your favorite mom-and-pop shop. Here are 5 AdWords developments small businesses need to know about:
(1) New local search ads across Search and Maps
Nearly a third of all mobile searches are related to location. To help advertisers reach customers searching for business locations, we introduced local search ads across Google.com and Google Maps, on both the desktop and mobile versions of the site as well as the app. Businesses using location extensions in AdWords can display their business location more prominently when consumers search for things like “dentist” or “car repair shop near me” while on their mobile phones.
(2) Branded, customized experiences for businesses on Google Maps
We are testing new local ad formats that will allow your business to strengthen your brand presence in Maps. These ad formats will also make it easier for your customers to find local businesses as they navigate on Google Maps. For example, Maps users may start seeing experiments like logos on Maps or promoted pins for gas stations or restaurants along their driving route. Local businesses pages are also getting a fresh look so customers can explore your store, special offers, and product inventory – before they arrive.
(3) Expanded text ads to help your ads work harder across screens
New expanded text ads are evolving to be optimized for smartphone screens. With more ad space, businesses can provide more information for the on-the-go mobile customer who wants to know what you offer before tapping through to your website. And this will be available for both mobile and desktop.
Expanded text ads in AdWords will offer a more prominent headline with two 30-character headlines versus one 25-character headline. They will also allow for longer descriptions. Instead of two 35-character description lines, you can have one consolidated 80-character description line.
This gives you the chance to showcase more unique details about your business, like if you are family-owned or only source from local purveyors.
(4) Responsive ads for display, designed to adapt to various screens
With responsive display ads, it will be easier to access inventory for the different formats available on the Google Display Network. These ads will automatically adapt to the diverse content, shapes and sizes of the more than two million publisher sites and apps on the Google Display Network. You can just provide headlines, a description, an image, and a URL, and AdWords will create beautiful ads for you that looks good on every device and site.
(5) More control and flexibility for bidding on AdWords
In today’s mobile-first world you increasingly need more control and flexibility to optimize bids on different devices. Currently, advertisers set mobile bids as a multiplier of the base bid for desktop.
Later this year, you will be able to set individual bid adjustments for each device type – mobile, desktop and tablet – separately and optimize with greater precision, while keeping it simple to reach customers across devices. We also announced a wider range to adjust bids – up to +900%, offering even more flexibility.
Look out for these updates, coming soon. And that’s not all. We gave a sneak peak of the new AdWords Interface, coming in 2017. AdWords is continuing to evolve to work harder for you in this mobile-first world.
