1. Why is it not convenient to use only one advertising platform?
Many entrepreneurs and new businesses make the mistake of investing their entire budget in a single ad platform. Sometimes they do it out of convenience, sometimes out of fashion. But in an increasingly fragmented digital environment, relying on a single channel can limit reach and results. Diversifying your ads not only minimizes risk, but also allows you to leverage the best of each platform.
2. Advantages of combining channels: results that leverage each other
Each ad network has distinct strengths. That's why, when used together, they complement each other. For example: you can engage with TikTok, retain with Meta and close sales with Google. This integrated approach not only improves the performance of your campaigns, but builds a stronger and more consistent brand experience for the user.
3. Which platform to choose according to your objective: sales, branding or traffic.
Before choosing a channel, it is key to be clear about what you want to achieve:
If you are looking for direct sales, Google Ads is ideal because of its high purchase intent.
If you want to generate brand recognition, Meta and TikTok stand out for their reach and emotional segmentation.
To generate traffic to your website or store, any can work, but it will depend on the format and type of content you handle.
4. Google Ads: when and what to use it for
Google Ads is powerful for engaging people who are already searching for what you sell. It works especially well in:
Businesses with products in high demand in search engines
Services with clear purchase intent
Brands that already have a certain presence and want to scale up
Your strong point is intent. The user finds you because he wants to solve a problem.
5. Meta Ads: strengths and limitations
Meta (Facebook and Instagram) is very useful for segmenting by interests, behaviors and demographics. It shines in:
Visual or aspirational products
Personal brands or brands with a strong identity
Retargeting of users who have already visited your site
Of course, its performance has fallen compared to other platforms in certain sectors. It is not a question of discarding it, but of using it where it has an impact.
6. TikTok Ads: ideal for connecting with new audiences.
Although still underestimated by many, TikTok is great for brands looking to innovate and connect with young or visually stimulated audiences. It works well in:
Novel, viral or creative products
Brands with good storytelling or previous organic content
High-impact launches and campaigns
The key is to adapt your message to the language of the platform: it is not a place for traditional ads.
7. How to build your own advertising mix, step by step.
Define your main objective: sales, traffic, branding?
Determine where your audience is and how they consume content
Allocate an initial budget divided between 2 or 3 platforms
Use different messages adapted to the tone of each channel.
Measured results with comparable metrics (CPA, CTR, ROAS)
Adjust and redistribute according to performance
You don't need to be an expert: with small tests and analyses you can optimize your investment intelligently.
Conclusion: test, measure and optimize
Investing in digital advertising is not a one-size-fits-all recipe. What works for one store may not work for another. Therefore, it is best to test different platforms, measure the performance of each one and combine those that give you the best results. Betting everything on a single channel is risky; a well thought-out mix can take your campaigns much further.
