I’m a small business owner looking to expand my online presence and attract more customers through digital channels. With so many options available—Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram, YouTube, native advertising, and more—it’s hard to know where to start or what delivers the best ROI. Can anyone share their experiences with different online advertising services, what worked well (or didn’t), and which platforms are currently delivering the best results in 2025? Any tips or case studies would be greatly appreciated!

The results depend on several factors:
– the contents of the ad
– your target group and how they are represented on the platform, and how effective they can be selected
– the number of ads and the frequency and when they are shown
– if your company is local (one town) or global (all over the world) or something in between
– what you are advertising for

Better find a trusted agency to help you. We can’t help you selecting one, and any reply with links or company names will be deleted as spam.

1) Google Ads (Intent-Based Traffic): Google ads are still king, we have a seen solid ROI with localized campaigns especially for service-based businesses.

2) (Meta Ads) Facebook & Instagram (Targeted Reach): We have used Facebook Ads successfully for both lead generation & eCommerce retargeting. Instagram works really well for visual brands especially when paired with influencer-style creative.

3) LinkedIn Ads (B2B): Higher CPC (cost-per-click) sure, but the leads tend to be more qualified. Great for whitepaper downloads, event signups or high-ticket services.

4) YouTube Ads (Long-Game Branding): it is a brilliant tool for storytelling & brand authority. Short, skippable ads with sharp hooks & strong CTAs (Call to actions) are working great especially for niche businesses.

Good Luck

try to go after a specific type of age like children for example and then go on an app that teens or whoever your targeted age group is to make adds. For example, teens tend to use TikTok more that Facebook and older folks tend to use Facebook more than TikTok.

For small businesses, the most effective online ads usually come down to where your audience hangs out—Google Ads is great for intent-based searches (like when people are actively looking for your service), while Facebook and Instagram Ads are awesome for visual storytelling and targeting super specific interests or locations. If you’re B2B, LinkedIn Ads can work well too, but they’re a bit pricier. Also, don’t sleep on local services ads by Google or even Pinterest if your biz is visual-heavy. Start small, test different platforms, and double down on what brings real results!
