We all know for sure that Google and Facebook dominate the paid advertising industry like from ever. They have very granular targeting options for advertisers and also have a premium list of publishers/inventory to suit the advertisers' promotional needs.
But as we know they are very big and famous platforms, they also attract big advertisers and in more numbers which also makes these platforms a bit more expensive.
More number of people bidding & competing for the same keyword or real state will cost more due to the auction environment of such programmatic platforms like Google Ads.
Search ads are only available on the search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. But when we talk about display ads, there are a whole lot of websites on the internet that are available for advertisers to bid on and show ads on those published websites which can bring them more business.
You can either reach them directly if you can establish some business relationship with them but generally, advertisers prefer to go to one or the other ad networks to promote their products or services like Google Ads.
So clearly you have to keep your budgets in mind and should have a plan for acquiring the right traffic for your website and at the right price.
