Cost-efficient brand presence across Indian internet.
Google Display Network reaches over 90 percent of Indian internet users through placements across news sites, entertainment portals, regional language websites, mobile apps, and Google-owned properties. No other display network offers comparable reach in India.
Over two million websites and apps participate in the Google Display Network globally. In India, this includes every major English and regional language news portal, entertainment site, and niche content platform that Indian audiences consume daily.
Custom Intent audiences target Display users who recently searched for your specific keywords. This remains the most underused capability in Indian GDN campaigns. Most brands skip it entirely and default to broad In-Market audiences, leaving search-intent-level targeting at display CPMs completely untapped.

Google Display Ads in India
Custom Intent audiences target users who recently searched specific keywords or visited competitor websites. This gives you search-intent-level precision at display CPMs. Custom Intent audiences are significantly cheaper than Search CPCs for the same audience. Most Indian brands ignore this capability entirely and default to broad In-Market audiences.
Display retargeting segments website visitors by behavior and serves tailored ads to each group. Cart abandoners see purchase CTAs with urgency. Product page viewers see product-specific ads. Past purchasers see cross-sell ads. All site visitors see brand awareness ads. This segmentation typically delivers the highest ROAS of any Display campaign type. See our full remarketing ads service for more detail.
Without placement controls, GDN spends heavily on mobile game apps, parked domain pages, and irrelevant content categories. These placements generate impressions but no meaningful brand contact. Placement exclusions, mobile app category exclusions, and content suitability controls eliminate this waste. Placement discipline typically improves GDN efficiency by 30 to 50 percent compared to running without controls.
View-through conversion records purchases made by users who saw your Display ad but did not click it. Display advertising primarily works through impression-based brand awareness rather than direct clicks. Last-click attribution significantly undervalues Display's contribution. View-through conversion tracking gives you a more accurate picture of how Display campaigns are influencing purchase decisions even when users do not click the ad directly.
Yes. Each channel covers a different touchpoint. Search Ads capture high-intent queries at the moment of search. Display Ads maintain brand presence between search sessions and retarget users who visited but did not convert. Brands running both channels typically see improved conversion rates across the board because Display reduces the cold-start problem for Search traffic. Our paid media programmes integrate both channels.
Responsive Display Ads automatically assemble combinations of your uploaded headlines, descriptions, images, and logos to fit different ad sizes and placements across the GDN. Rather than designing fixed-size banner ads, you provide the raw assets and Google's algorithm tests combinations to find what performs best for each placement and audience. Oddtusk builds Responsive Display Ad asset sets with multiple headline and image variations to give the algorithm meaningful choices to optimize against.
Display campaigns require a learning period for audience and placement data to accumulate. Custom Intent and In-Market campaigns typically show initial performance within 2 to 3 weeks. Retargeting campaigns deliver faster results because they target warm audiences. View-through conversions appear within the first month. Full optimization requires 6 to 8 weeks of data collection and iterative improvement.
