Today I'd like to tell you about Facebook ads vs Google ads.

Google Ads - Push vs Pull

Google Ads works on the "pull" principle - users actively search for what you offer. Advantages:

  • High purchase intent
  • Measurable results
  • Budget control

Disadvantages:

  • Higher cost per click
  • Intense competition on certain keywords

Facebook Ads - Precise Targeting

Facebook Ads works on the "push" principle - you present your offer to users based on their interests. Advantages:

  • Detailed demographic and behavioral targeting
  • Lower cost per impression
  • Ideal for brand awareness

Disadvantages:

  • Lower purchase intent
  • Requires attractive creatives

When to Choose Each Platform

Choose Google Ads when:

  • You sell actively searched services (installations, repairs, legal)
  • You have products with existing demand
  • Budget allows higher cost per click

Choose Facebook Ads when:

  • You want to build awareness
  • You target a specific audience
  • You have visually attractive products

Conclusion

Ideally, you use both platforms complementarily. Test and see what works for your business.
