Replicate Google Ads to Amazon Redshift in minutes

If you want to know a quicker and easier way to transfer data from Google ads to Amazon Redshift, then you are at the right place. We will discuss the data migration process using an effective ETL tool: Daton.

Due to stiff competition, modern-day companies are striving to be more data-driven. To optimize their business, it becomes necessary to understand the demand and supply trends, maximizing the revenue, get more ROIs out of Ad campaigns and offering an engaging and seamless experience for customers. Google Ads platform generate a lot of data like Impressions, Cost, Clicks, Average CPC, Conversions, CTR by Ad Groups, CTR by Campaigns, Cost Per Conversion. These data need to be analyzed along with data like product demand, Inventory and user behaviour to reduce losses due to incorrect audience targeting, incorrect allocation of ad budgets, redundant ads.

It thus becomes essential for businesses to tally the data coming from the Google Ad platform along with data generated from other apps and tools such as customer support platforms, website, inventory management, payment gateways, CRMs. All of this data needs to be consolidated and analyzed to have a complete understanding of the business, customer demands, Ad performance and identify areas of improvement.

 

Why integrate Google Ads to Amazon Redshift?

When it comes to advertising on Google, marketers’ greatest obstacle is the money wasted on redundant advertisements. For instance, ads of a product out of stock can still run, draining a lot of money. Feeding your Google Ads platform with inventory data from inventory management systems such as Olabi, Vinculum, Unicommerce solves this problem. It will help Google know what goods are available and what locations for the accurate tracking of an ad impression, eliminating unnecessary clicks and user engagement. You may allocate more budget on a less popular product ad leading to lesser ROIs; not factoring in customer feedback while building ad strategy might lead to improper audience targeting. The lack of specific data is one of the many reasons why your Google ads do not return a better revenue. You need more personalized ad creation to take full advantage of Google advertising.

The more data you can gather and use from different sources in your Google ad campaign, the more optimized your ad delivery. All these data can not be natively transmitted to Google. So, collect and analyze all the data properly in a data warehouse to utilize the relevant information to run ad campaigns on Google. The compilation and processing of data from multiple sources for thorough analysis have considerable challenges if carried out manually. Hence, data needs to be transferred from Google ads to Amazon Redshift using cloud data pipelines like Daton.

 

Google Ads Overview

Google Ads is Google’s pay-per-click online advertising program. Users set their budget for Google Advertising and select where their ads will appear. There is no minimum commitment to spending, and the system can be stopped or paused anytime. The user of Google Ads interacts with people when looking for words or phrases while browsing websites. You can view Ads in Google search listings and on associated websites. Use retargeting strategies to boost return traffic and increase sales. Google Ads bills users with a cost-per-click (CPC) bidding when visitors click the ad. Google Advertising is an efficient way to bring potential traffic or suitable buyers for your company while browsing for goods and services that you sell. You can increase your website’s traffic, receive more telephone calls, and improve your in-store visits through Google Ads.

Google Ads lets you create and share timely ads (both via mobile and desktop) with your target audience. This means that your company is currently high up on the SERP search engine results page for products and services through Google Search or Google Maps. This way, when your advertisement makes sense, you reach your target audience effectively.
