Features of contextual advertising in the Czech Republic

When choosing an advertising campaign strategy for a particular country, it is necessary to take into account its geographical, migration, cultural, economic and consumer characteristics. For the Czech Republic, it is:

Pendulum migration

More than 10% of the country’s population (1.3 million people) lives in its capital, Prague. This makes this city interesting for setting up an advertising campaign. As for other European million-plus cities, here you need to take into account the pendulum migration during the day.

So, employees of offices and enterprises come to the city from numerous suburbs of the capital in the morning, and in the evening they go home on suburban trains and private cars.

This should be taken into account when setting up Google advertising – after all, during the day, being in Prague at the workplace, a person can look for plumbing services that he will need in the suburbs on the weekend.

Promotion tools

  1. Search campaigns. A click on Google Ads in the Czech Republic is quite expensive, which means that when setting up a campaign, you should work out the account structure in detail. It is necessary to structure requests depending on the stage of the sales funnel where the user is located. Highlight branded product keywords, informational queries, phrases with a specific geolocation in different advertising campaigns with different bidding strategies.
  2. Dynamic search ads. They can bring cheap impressions on low-frequency semantics, and specialists also save time on collecting and processing the semantic core. Here, competent work with negative keywords is very important.
  3. Google Shopping. Shopping ads show tremendous effectiveness for online stores. A click on such ads is usually significantly cheaper than on search ads. In addition, due to the fact that the user immediately sees the price of the product and its photo in the Google Shopping ad, it has a higher conversion rate.
  4. Remarketing. Since there is quite a lot of competition in the field of Internet advertising in the Czech Republic, we are obliged not only to attract a user to the site, but also to work with him further in the future, to lead him until the order is placed. To do this, be sure to use remarketing tools for the audience that has already visited the site, but did not order a product or service on it.
  5. Performance Max. This is the most innovative advertising tool from the search giant to date, launched by Google in 2021. The main advantage of this tool is the automatic optimization of campaigns for specified goals (conversions, revenue, site visits, etc.) taking into account the advertiser’s budget. The system independently tests different combinations of creatives, audiences and bids to find the most effective option and then scale it to maximize profit. At the same time Performance Max does not require deep expertise from the advertiser – it is enough to provide quality input data (ad texts, product photos, product feeds and audience selection). Thanks to automation and wide coverage, such advertising pays for itself even in the highly competitive Czech market.

Local ad campaigns

They are especially effective for the HoReCa sector (hotels, restaurants, bars) in the Czech Republic. Fill out a Google My Business profile for your campaign, encourage customers to leave reviews, set up local advertising, Google Maps ads.

In this way, you will greatly increase the influx of solvent customers (not only local residents, but also tourists). The latter, in most cases, choose a restaurant or hostel based on reviews and ratings on Google Maps.

Tourists often rely on Google Maps reviews even when choosing a dish in an establishment. When visiting such an institution, they do not even use the menu, but are immediately ready to place an order with the waiter. This must be taken into account when building an advertising strategy for such an institution.
