The bidding options let you focus on clicks (to drive traffic to your site), impressions (to increase the visibility of your ad) or conversions (to specify a maximum cost-per-acquisition bid). You also need to set a maximum daily budget for your campaign.
2nd Step: Create ad groups

Tips to follow the steps
An Ad group contains ads and keywords. You have to identify specific products/services and create an ad groupfor each of them.
Ad groups benefit you reach different target audiences effectively as the Google ads system analyses each ad group to decide which web pages are most suitable for those ads. As a general advice, you might begin with an ad group for each of your best-selling products or services, with two or three ads in each group. By crafting multiple ads, you’ll be able to track which has the bestperformance.
Later, you can deploy ad groups for your other products, using highly targeted ads based on what you have observed from your previous ads. Google’s optimized ad serving will automatically show the ads having higher click-through rates (CTRs) more often.
3rd Step: Target and bid
Choose your targeting criteria and bids
The Google Display Network benefits you to reach highly potential users across the web by automatically showing your ads to customers as they’re reading about your products and services. This is sameas Google Search, where ads are matched to users’ search queries.
With custom affinity targeting on the Google Display Network, your keywords or competitor’s website determine where your ads are shown on the Display Network – just like Google search. The closer the relationship between each keyword and your product or services, the more likely it is that your ad will find the right audience.
How to do it
When you are creating a new ad group, you can specify the keywords used to match your ads to Display Network pages by typing them into the custom affinity audience box. You will also see a list of suggested keywords based on product or services.
Set your maximum cost per click (CPC) in the Ad Group Default Bids section of the Ad Group section. Remember that you can change your bids anytime you like.
If you want to run your ads on particular hand-picked sites, create a new ad group and under Placements, select the sites that you want to show your ads.
Your ads are now ready to live! In next sections, you’ll know how to track and optimize your campaign.
Tips to follow the steps
Structure your campaign or ad groups based on the way that your products and services are organized. To add more keywords, you can copy your search keywords directly into display, or use the Keyword Planner for more suggestions. Now it’s time to set an appropriate max cost-per-click (CPC) bid for every ad group. One of the best approaches about the Display Network is that once you choose your bids, Google’s smart pricing feature will automatically adjust the price that you pay based on how likely your display ads are to convert on a given web page in the Display Network. This will minimize your cost per click (CPC) and maximize your return on investment (ROI).
In addition, if you want to hand-pick specific places to show your ads, you can select managed placements to show your ads on particular websites and pages on the Display Network. You can test this feature by manually picking a few sites where you’d like your ads to show (you’ll need to add your managed sites to a new ad group). However, if you’re only interested in direct response advertising, we recommend contextually targeting your ads using the automatic placements, which will show your ads on relevant sites based on your keywords.
4th Step: Create Image ads
Add display/image ads
Now your Display campaign up and running, the next step you need to do to improve your campaign is to add image ads.

Here are some things to consider when crafting your display ad:
Change colors and fonts to match your brand.
When creating text for the button on your display ad, try to use a call-to-action to tell your audience what you want them to do.
