Google Ads vs Meta Ads: which one suits you?
It's not a competition — they're different tools. Google captures existing demand (people actively searching), Meta creates demand (people who weren't looking for you). Most businesses need both.
In short
- ✓Google = intent (people actively searching)
- ✓Meta = discovery (you create new demand)
- ✓Services with search demand → Google first
- ✓Visual / impulse products → Meta is strong
Google Ads — intent
Someone searches "plumber Leeds" — they already have the need. You show up with the solution. High intent, good conversion, but limited by how many search.
Meta Ads — discovery
On Facebook/Instagram nobody is searching for your product — they discover it in the feed. You create demand, it's excellent for visual products and remarketing, but it needs good creative.
📌 Concrete example
A dental clinic: Google for "emergency dentist" (high intent), Meta for remarketing and local awareness. Together they cover both existing and new demand.
Common mistakes
- ⚠️Picking a single channel because "someone said so".
- ⚠️Expecting the same intent from Meta as from Google.
What to keep an eye on
- →How many people actively search for what you offer (Google potential)
- →How visual your product is (Meta/TikTok potential)
