Running both
Intent vs discovery
Google Ads shows your business to people already searching for it. Meta Ads puts you in front of people who match your ideal customer but aren’t searching yet.
Where to start
If people actively search for your service (“dentist near me”), start with Google. If your product is visual or impulse-driven, Meta often wins.
Running both
The best results usually come from both: Meta builds awareness and retargeting audiences, Google captures the demand it creates.
