Paid Ads

Search vs Social

Search captures demand that already exists; social creates demand that didn't. Classify your product first, then split budget between the two, and usually run both.

Search and social ads do fundamentally different jobs: one captures demand that already exists, the other creates demand that didn't. Confuse them, or fund only one, and you either starve growth or waste spend chasing clicks nobody wanted yet.
