A glimpse at Quora’s global audience landscape
The webinar began by shedding light on the impressive audience landscape of Quora. Globally, the platform boasts over 400 million monthly unique visitors, making it a significant player in the digital space. South East Asia, with its diverse markets, contributes substantially to this audience. Notable countries include Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, each with its unique audience size.
Strategic overview of Quora Ads
Quora stands out in the digital realm due to its unique position as a knowledge-sharing and discussion platform. It’s a place where users actively seek answers and engage in thoughtful discussions across a wide range of topics. For advertisers, this distinctive characteristic provides a golden opportunity. By targeting niche-specific topics, businesses can position themselves as reliable sources of information, making them the go-to choice for a receptive audience actively seeking solutions.
Exploring high-intent audiences
A significant portion of the webinar was dedicated to exploring high-intent audiences in South East Asia. Across various verticals such as finance, business and software, travel, education, and e-commerce, Quora users consistently demonstrate strong interest. For instance, the finance vertical witnesses continuous engagement, with topics ranging from personal savings to investments and insurance. This pattern holds true for other verticals, too, creating opportunities for advertisers to align their messaging with the high-intent audience’s needs.
Quora Ad formats and best practices
The webinar delved into the world of ad formats and best practices. Quora offers a range of ad formats, including text ads, image ads, and unique native formats like Promoted Answers. The focus was on video ads and promoted answers, providing valuable tips on creating engaging content tailored for Quora’s unique environment.
Video Ads
A key question that often arises is how to create engaging video content for a text-based platform like Quora. Examples from successful brands demonstrated that keeping video content short, incorporating clear branding, optimizing for mobile viewing, and providing captions for silent viewers are key strategies for success.
Promoted Answers
This unique ad format allows businesses to share informative content, position themselves as thought leaders, and offer multiple call-to-action options within a single answer. By adding valuable insights and information, advertisers can establish trust and credibility with the Quora audience.
Targeting and audience engagement
Quora’s targeting options were explored in detail, categorizing them into four broad categories: contextual, behavioral, audience, and broad targeting. This versatility enables advertisers to reach the right audience at the right time, whether they are looking for specific solutions, targeting a consistently interested audience, leveraging existing databases, or aiming for broader awareness.
Integrating Quora Ads into your marketing strategy
The webinar offered valuable insights into how leading brands have successfully integrated Quora Ads into their marketing mix. By doing so, they have achieved brand awareness and driven conversions. Quora, being a hybrid of social and search platforms, allows users to actively seek knowledge, making it a fertile ground for businesses to engage with a receptive audience.
Analytics and performance tracking
Finally, the webinar addressed the critical aspect of analytics and performance tracking. Quora provides robust options, including pixel data, lead generation data, and integrations with partner services. These tools empower advertisers to gain deep insights into their campaigns, facilitating data-driven decision-making.
To sum it up, the Quora Ads webinar offered a treasure trove of knowledge and insights for advertisers and agencies in South East Asia.
