Integrating display ads with social media marketing is a smart move for amplifying reach and driving better ROI. Here’s how EMILY® recommends doing it strategically and effectively:
🔗 1. Unified Targeting Strategy
Use consistent audience segmentation across Google Display Ads and social media platforms like Meta (Facebook/Instagram), LinkedIn, or TikTok. Define:
Demographics
Behaviors
Interests
Custom audiences (retargeting site visitors or CRM uploads)
Tip: EMILY® helps configure Google Ads + Meta Pixel integrations to unify tracking and retargeting.
📣 2. Creative Alignment
Make sure your ad creatives are visually and tonally consistent across platforms:
Use the same messaging and value props in display banners and social posts
Reinforce brand identity with uniform color, logo placement, and CTAs
Optimize sizing and formats for each platform (EMILY’s creative team helps with this too)
Our team also creates multimedia assets (video, drone, static ads) to repurpose across digital and social channels.
🔁 3. Cross-Channel Retargeting
Integrate retargeting across Google Display Network (GDN) and social platforms:
Show display ads to users who engaged with your social content
Serve social ads to users who clicked on display banners
This synergizes awareness-building from display ads with the community engagement power of social media.
EMILY configures these loops using tools like Google Tag Manager, Meta Events Manager, and UTM parameters for cross-channel tracking.
📊 4. Track & Optimize Together
Use unified analytics dashboards to measure the performance of both display and social ad campaigns. EMILY tracks:
Impressions and click-throughs by platform
Behavior flow (post-click actions)
Conversion rates by campaign source
Lead quality
Our clients get custom monthly reports with actionable insights from platforms like Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and social ad managers.
📍 5. Geotargeted Campaigns
Layer local SEO and display advertising together by:
Running Google display campaigns targeting local users
Boosting social posts in the same geography
Embedding location-based CTAs (e.g., “Visit Us in Newberry, SC”)
EMILY uses geotargeted keyword ads and display placements alongside social content to saturate high-intent local audiences.
