We charge on a CPM basis and all campaigns are prepaid for self-service customers.

When you launch a new campaign, you'll be charged the amount you set for your campaign budget. From then on, we will bill every following Monday to refill your campaign's budget. With our CPM billing, we add a small margin on there for our service, and then charge you for the total.

Remember: the first $100 spent is on us for all new users, so you can see the ROI firsthand before investing more. Your cost will vary depending on the vertical and competition.

SharpSpring Ads is a retargeting platform that lets marketers effortlessly bring back lost web visitors with ads on Facebook, banner ads across the web, and ads on Twitter. We help great companies get more sales and conversions by using their audience data to target ads with pinpoint precision.

Web retargeting on SharpSpring Ads is when we serve your banner ads to your website visitors on mainstream news sites like Yahoo and CNN, top blogs, and even YouTube. We do this by running your ads across ad networks like Google Display Network, OpenX, Pubmatic, and many more. You can retarget across all of these networks with just one campaign.

With web retargeting, a business adds our site tracking tag to their own web site code. This tag is completely invisible to visitors but places a unique "cookie" in their browser that lets the user be anonymously identified as having visited your web site. The users cookied in this way make up what we call an Audience.

Once you've created an Audience, you can use SharpSpring Ads to serve banner ads to people in those lists across more than 100,000 websites that work with us including all sites in the Google, Microsoft, OpenX, and Rubicon Project networks. When your users see these ads, they are reminded about your goods and services and can click to sign up or convert in some way.

One difference is the lack of transparency into what sites your ads appear on. SharpSpring Ads' reporting lets you see top domains your ads are served on and how those ads performed there. With this information you can create "blacklists" and "whitelists" to customize and level up your campaigns to achieve truly outstanding ROI.

Another key difference is focus. Google makes almost all its money from search and is focused there. Google Remarketing is a bit of an afterthought, product-wise. With SharpSpring Ads, you have a partner that's 100% focused on providing the best retargeting experience possible.

Using Google Remarketing often requires you to add a static, "dumb" pixel to your site that has to be updated or replaced from time to time. With SharpSpring Ads, we provide a single "Perfect Pixel" that never needs to be replaced or swapped out and which can be used to create as many retargeting lists and conversions as you like. We make it easy to segment your visitors in several different useful ways so you can reach exactly who you want to reach.

Most importantly, SharpSpring Ads offers affordable support and solutions from real humans. With Google Remarketing, you're not going to get any actual human support unless you're a big spender. We'll even start you off with a $100 ad spend on us.

SharpSpring Ads partners with several different ad networks and ad exchanges to pull together all the best advertising inventory on the web into one big ad network for your campaigns. Our network includes Google's Doubleclick inventory as well as the other top exchanges like OpenX, Pubmatic, and many more. More than 100,000 websites participate in these networks all over the world.

Many of the biggest sites on the web work with one of our ad network or exchange partners, which makes them accessible to your advertising. Everything from the mainstream news sites like CNN, Fox News, The Guardian, to mega-blogs like Bleacher Report to niche "mommy" and entertainment blogs. If a site is running ads from a top network, they're in our network and your ads can appear there. We'll even show you the top 100 domains where your ads appear and how they're performing.

SharpSpring Ads works great for online businesses of all shapes and sizes. That said, you will need a good amount of traffic coming to your website. We recommend advertisers whose sites get less than 1,000 visitors a month invest in driving more traffic to their site in addition to retargeting. 

Normally it takes a little while to build your retargeting audience. However, using SharpSpring Ads' proprietary Smart Audience you can begin to serve ads immediately. As your retargeting audience builds, those users are added to your targeted audiences. If you have any questions, write to us at ads@sharpspring.com.
