Google Adwords
Google is the world’s largest search engine with an incredible 2.3 million Google searches per minute. That enormous search traffic is what makes Google AdWords a great place to advertise.

Other ways of advertising include video-based ads, display network campaigns, and AdWords Retargeting. AdWords Retargeting can be incredibly helpful, by helping you retarget a lost customer and win a sale.
Facebook Ads

The intent to purchase isn’t nearly as high as when someone performs a Google AdSearch. Facebook Ads still offer incredible value, however, with over two billion monthly active users you can locate almost any target or niche market on this platform.

Facebook is also very versatile, allowing you to advertise on mobile, desktop, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger.  Facebook particularly excels when it comes to targeting audiences for your advertisements and allows you to target users by diverse demographics; including job title, income level, age groups, location, and even things like hobbies or favorite movies.
