Display Advertising
Display Advertising Services for Audiences Search Already Found
Display advertising services put your ad in front of the right audience while they browse other sites and apps. I sequence banner and programmatic placements downstream of search and retargeting. So it's never a first-dollar gamble on a site that isn't ready for it yet.

The components
What's Included in Display Advertising Services
This isn't one campaign toggled on inside an ad account and left alone. So here's the full range I build into it.
Audience Targeting
I layer contextual placements with in-market audiences instead of leaving one broad setting on default. Custom-intent segments come in the same pass. I fold a remarketing list in where it fits, and each segment gets its own budget line.
Creative Production & Testing
Each banner size gets tested against the others, matched to the browsing context. The version that wins becomes the control.
Placement Management & Brand Safety
Exclusion lists and category blocks so your banner advertising doesn't land next to content that has nothing to do with your business. I review the placement report every month and add new exclusions myself.
Frequency Capping
I set a cap on how many times one person sees the same banner, so nobody gets tired of seeing it.
Programmatic Buying
Through an exchange, I buy ad space live, which lets your banner run beyond Google's own network.
Monthly Reporting
You get cost by placement and viewability each month instead of a raw count of times the ad was shown. Cost per lead works for you as it does with PPC and Facebook Ads.
The process
How I Deliver It, Step by Step
I take every account through the same steps in the same order.
- I start by auditing what's already running, search and retargeting first.
- Where you already have a remarketing list, I fold it into the audience plan.
- I make the banners in each size and match the message to the kind of page it appears on.
- Before a dollar of spend goes live, I set the exclusion lists and brand-safety category blocks.
- Then I set the frequency cap, which stops the same person from seeing the ad over and over.
- Your placement report lands once a month and shows what each placement cost and what I'm changing next.
Who this is for
Who This Fits, and What Changes Either Way
You're a fit if search or retargeting is already running, because display then adds to it.
- Your site has to show it turns visitors into leads before display money makes sense.
- Without display, your name is less visible between searches.
- I prove search and retargeting first, and only add display second.
- You can wait on display, and I'll tell you when it's time.
I add display once your site turns visitors into leads and search or retargeting has found your audience. Before then, I'd only be paying to reach strangers.
Before display money goes live, I want to see the site doing its job. I won't promise ad views or clicks before I've seen your market and accounts.
The lines I won't cross
What This Service Does Not Include
I state a few plain lines up front so you know where this service stops.
Not a Standalone First Channel
Display comes second. I run it after a search or retargeting account is already getting results, and when you have neither, that's where I start.
No Guaranteed Impressions, Clicks, or Results
No number of impressions or clicks gets promised before the market and existing accounts get reviewed. A range follows that review.
No Long-Term Management Contract
You keep the ad accounts and the audience data no matter when the work ends.
No Client Names, No Invented Case Studies
Names and manufactured case studies don't appear here. Results show up in your own monthly report instead.
No Brand-Safety Shortcuts
I set the exclusion lists and category blocks first, before any money is spent on a placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
These only live on this page. If yours isn't here, ask me below.
What This Service Includes
What's Included in Display Advertising Services?
You get audience targeting across contextual and in-market segments, which is the base of the build.
What's the Difference Between Display Advertising and Google Search Ads?
Search ads reach people typing a query. Display advertising services reach them on other sites and apps, before they search. I run display after search proves the audience is real.
Do You Build the Creative, or Do I Need to Provide Banner Ads Myself?
Creative built here means banner sizes matched to the browsing context. Existing brand assets speed up that first round.
What Sizes and Formats of Banner Advertising Do You Run?
Standard Google Display Network sizes across static and, where the budget supports it, animated formats, sized for the placements that reach your audience instead of every size available by default. The format follows the audience and the placement, not the other way around.
How It Fits With Other Advertising
Is Display Advertising the Same as Retargeting?
Your retargeting list and your display campaign are different tools. Retargeting services are a layer that brings back people who already visited your site and left. This reaches new audiences who haven't visited yet, through contextual and in-market targeting. The two often work together, and, at least the way I build it, a retargeting list can be one of several segments inside a wider display campaign.
Should Display Advertising Run Before or After PPC Management?
Search and PPC prove the audience converts before display spend goes wider.

What's the Difference Between Display Advertising Services and Programmatic Advertising Services?
They overlap. Display advertising services are the banner and image ads. Programmatic advertising services are how I buy that ad space through an exchange, and I run both as one campaign.
Do You Run Display Ads on Facebook and Instagram Too, or Just Google?
Here I cover only Google's network and programmatic exchanges. Facebook and Instagram placements fall under Facebook Ads management, which has its own targeting and creative rules.
Targeting, Brand Safety, and Results
How Do You Make Sure My Display Ads Don't Show Up Next to Bad Content?
I set the exclusion lists and category blocks before a dollar of spend goes live. Then I watch. Every month I review the placement report and add an exclusion the moment a low-quality site or app shows up spending your budget.
What Is Frequency Capping, and Why Does It Matter for Display Ads?
Repeats on the same banner get capped before a viewer starts avoiding the ad.
How Do You Measure Whether Display Advertising Is Working?
Cost per click and cost per lead by placement are the measures that matter. Viewability and frequency get watched too.
What's a Realistic Budget to Make Display Advertising Worth Running?
It depends on your market and how wide the audience you're trying to reach is. I won't quote a number sight unseen before I've seen your existing search or retargeting accounts. So most engagements start conservative and scale toward whatever's proving out in the placement data.
Practical Questions Before You Start
Do I Need an Existing Website That Converts Before Display Advertising Makes Sense?
Yes, your site should already turn visitors into leads before any display money is spent.
How Fast Can Display Advertising Campaigns Launch?
It launches within days once the audience plan and banners are ready. I check your search or retargeting results first, and that sets the timeline.
Can Display Advertising Be Paused or Adjusted Quickly If Something Isn't Working?
Your placements, audiences, and creative can all be adjusted or paused inside days once the monthly data shows something isn't earning its budget. Nothing here runs on a set-it-and-review-it-in-six-months schedule.
Do You Guarantee Results From Display Advertising?
No. I don't promise impressions or clicks, and I won't quote a number before I've reviewed your market and your existing accounts. I prove search and retargeting first and then add display while I watch it.
Why Choose Me for Programmatic Advertising Services
One display budget I inherited had spent a month on an audience nobody had confirmed existed. This comes from a builder who has done SEO and web design since 1998; here's the story.

What's Included With Display Ads Management
My display advertising services cover audience targeting and banner creative testing. I also manage placements, set brand safety exclusions and cap how often one person sees the ad. The internet marketing blog goes deeper on how a display budget earns a lead.
