Advertising agencies : FAQ
What is an advertising agency, and what does it do?
An advertising network is an organization that connects advertisers looking to run their ads with media outlets that have ad space available. It manages, sells, and optimizes the delivery of campaigns to reach the right audience at the right time.
Search engines have their own ad networks (Google has Google Ads, for example). Social media platforms also have their own ad networks (Facebook and Instagram have Meta Ads, for example). But there are also independent ad networks, such as those used to display ads on a website (Taboola, etc.).
What is the difference between an online advertising network and a traditional advertising network?
Traditional advertising networks focus on physical media such as print, television, radio, or billboards. Online advertising networks, on the other hand, manage online distribution through websites, apps, and social media, with much more precise targeting capabilities.
On BeFreelancr, our advertising experts exclusively create campaigns on online platforms such as Google Ads or Facebook Ads.
What are the best advertising networks?
Among the most well-known advertising platforms are Google Ads, Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Taboola and Outbrain for native advertising. Each platform has its own specific features depending on the objectives and the target audience.

How does an online advertising network work?
An online advertising network operates through a campaign management platform where the advertiser sets their budget, audience, ad format, and objectives. The network then handles the delivery of ads to internet users who match the selected criteria.
What are the benefits of using an advertising network to promote your business?
Using an ad network helps you gain visibility, effectively target your audience, control your budget, and measure performance through detailed statistics. This optimizes the return on investment for each campaign.
Quite simply, if you want to be visible to potential customers online, you have two options:
- SEO (creating content to attract qualified visitors)
- And SEA (running ads through an advertising agency)
SEO is an incredible way to drive quality traffic. But it takes a long time to see results. Whereas SEA delivers immediate results (though it’s more expensive).
What ad formats can be run through an ad network (banners, videos, native ads, etc.)?
An ad network allows you to run several formats: banners, videos, native ads, sponsored posts on social media, and even audio ads on certain platforms.
Do ad networks allow for precise audience targeting (age, location, interests)?
Online ad networks offer advanced targeting options. You can define age, gender, location, language, interests, purchasing behaviors, and even retarget people who have already visited your site.
How is a campaign billed through an ad network (CPC, CPM, CPA)?
Billing is based on different models: CPC (cost per click), CPM (cost per thousand impressions), or CPA (cost per action). The advertiser chooses the method that best aligns with their campaign goals.
The billing method depends on the platform chosen. On Google Ads, for example, it’s cost-per-click. So you can be profitable if the people who click then take action (purchasing a product, signing up, or other).
How much does a campaign through an advertising agency cost on average?
The price of a campaign depends on the budget you wish to invest and the billing method chosen. Some campaigns can start at just a few dozen euros per day, while others require several thousand euros to achieve broader visibility.
Everything is adjustable based on your goals and target audience.
But be careful: Always hire a professional to set up your ads. Personally, I’ve tried creating campaigns on my own in the past (it’s not my field)… and I can tell you that those campaigns weren’t very profitable!
With an ad expert, it’s possible that the campaign won’t be profitable at first (which is actually pretty normal). But the freelancer will adapt your campaign and targeting to improve results.
Can you run your ads on multiple sites or platforms through an ad network?
Yes, an online ad network allows you to run your ads on various websites, apps, and partner networks. This provides broader reach and greater visibility for your business.
Do ad networks allow you to track campaign performance in real time?
Most ad networks provide real-time statistics that let you track the number of clicks, impressions, cost, and conversions. This allows you to adjust your ongoing campaigns to optimize results.
Are there advertising networks specialized in certain sectors (travel, real estate, e-commerce, etc.)?
There are indeed specialized ad networks that target specific sectors such as travel, real estate, automotive, and e-commerce. They allow you to reach a more qualified audience based on your industry.
Can you use an advertising network for local or hyper-targeted advertising?
Online ad networks offer highly precise geotargeting options. You can limit your campaigns to a city, a region, or even a neighborhood, which is ideal for local advertising.
Is it easy to advertise on platforms and ad networks?
The platforms are designed to be user-friendly, but setting up a truly effective campaign can be complex. Targeting and optimization options often require experience to achieve a good return on investment.
