What it is
Display ads are visual banner ads — images, graphics, or animations — that appear across websites, apps, and YouTube as people browse. Unlike search ads that appear when someone is actively looking, display ads reach people while they're doing something else entirely.
Why it matters
Display ads are exceptional for brand awareness and remarketing. They keep your brand visible to people who've already visited your site, nudging them back. They're also useful for reaching new audiences through demographic and interest targeting.
The mistake most people make
Running display ads as a primary lead-generation tool for cold audiences. Display ads are interruptive by nature — someone wasn't looking for you. Use them to stay top-of-mind with warm audiences, not to make first contact with strangers expecting immediate conversions.
