    WHAT IS SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING TOOLS
    Search engine marketing (SEM) is a method of promotion and advertising to help companies' content rank higher among search engine traffic. Like search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing helps companies improve the way content is ranked by search engines.
    e.g
    GOOGLE
    GOOGLE ADS
    HubSpot's Ad Tracking Software
    SEMrush
    Google Trends
    Keywordtool.io
    Google Ads Keyword Planner
    SpyFu
    OPTIMIZATION
    Mobile optimization is the process of adjusting your website content to ensure that visitors that access the site from mobile devices have an experience customized to their device. Optimized content flows easily between desktop and mobile devices to provide the user with an outstanding experience. Push Notification Ads
    Businesses often send (or “push”) these cellphone advertisements to their app users when they have a timely promotional message to share. While users can receive push notification ads from websites, they more commonly get them from their mobile devices' apps.
    SPONSORSHIP SEARCHES
    Paid search advertising (also known as sponsored ads, search marketing, search-engine marketing, pay-per-click marketing, and cost-per-click marketing) is a technique that displays ads in search-engine results whenever someone searches for the services or products offered by the advertiser.
    Facebook is one of the most popular and versatile social media platforms for device targeting. You can access device targeting options in the ad set level of your campaign, under the placements section. You can choose between automatic placements, which let Facebook decide where to show your ads, or manual placements, which let you customize your device preferences. You can also use device-specific creative formats, such as mobile-only stories or desktop-only instant experiences, to enhance your ad engagement and conversions

    1. Google Ads:
    Google Ads provides various tools to optimize campaigns for mobile devices. Advertisers can create ads specifically designed for mobile users, adjust bids to target mobile traffic, and utilize responsive ad formats that adapt to different screen sizes.

    2. Bing Ads:
    Similar to Google Ads, Bing Ads offers options for optimizing campaigns for mobile devices. Advertisers can create mobile-specific ads and adjust bids to improve performance on Bing's search engine and partner networks.

    3. Facebook Ads:
    Facebook Ads allows advertisers to create mobile-optimized campaigns that seamlessly appear in users' mobile news feeds and other placements on the platform. Advertisers can engage mobile users effectively with features like carousel ads, video ads, and lead ads.

    These SEM tools target mobile device users by providing mobile-specific ad formats, bid adjustments for mobile traffic, and targeting options based on device type, operating system, and user behaviour. This makes sure that advertisers can effectively reach and engage with mobile audiences through search and display advertising

  3. Mobile Optimization:
    What is it? Mobile optimization refers to the process of optimizing a website for mobile devices, ensuring a seamless experience for users accessing the site from smartphones and tablets.
    Why is it important? With the majority of website visits worldwide attributed to mobile devices1, optimizing for mobile is crucial. Google’s mobile-first indexing means that it primarily crawls and ranks the mobile version of content.
    Best Practices:
    Separate Domain/URL Structure (Not Recommended): In the past, some sites used separate URLs (e.g., m.example.com) for mobile versions. However, this approach is less favored due to maintenance complexities and potential canonical issues.
    Example Tool: While not a specific tool, implementing responsive design is essential for effective mobile optimization.
    Sponsored Searches for Mobile Advertising:
    What are they? Sponsored searches involve paid advertising placements within search engine results. Advertisers bid on keywords relevant to their products or services.
    How do they target mobile users?
    Expanded Text Ads (ETAs): ETAs allow advertisers to create longer ad copy with additional details. Optimizing ETAs for mobile ensures concise yet compelling messages that resonate with mobile users.
    Device Bid Adjustments: Advertisers can adjust bids based on the user’s device (e.g., mobile, desktop, tablet). Increasing bids for mobile devices targets users who are more likely to convert on mobile.
    Price Extensions: These show additional pricing details directly in the ad. For mobile users, price extensions can highlight special offers or discounts.
