The internet giant's sales revenue from its stand-alone advertising business increased 19% to $US13.8 billion ($NZ16.24 billion), beating consensus estimates, on the back of strong mobile and international revenue growth.
On a consolidated basis, Google revenue was up 12% year-on-year to $US14.9 billion.
Motorola contributed $US1.2 billion in revenue.
Google's international business continued to record the strongest growth, up 22% on constant exchange rates, Mr McIntyre said.
Over the past few quarters, Enhanced Campaigns - Google's new AdWords platform - had been the main topic of discussion due to the significant changes and improvements made to the overall advertising platform.
Also, the new platform provided opportunities for advertisers in gaining access to the ever-increasing mobile market, he said.
Enhanced Campaigns became mandatory for all advertisers on July 22.
At the end of June, Google said 75% of advertisers had made the transition to Enhanced Campaigns, with the remaining advertisers expected to have made the shift in July.
Last quarter, Google made it clear because Enhanced Campaigns was an entirely new platform, the largest upgrade since the start of the AdWords platform, there was expected to be a slowing in revenue as advertisers spent time making the transition which involved developing advertisements specifically for customers on multi devices, Mr McIntyre said.
''Judging by the solid quarterly result, it looks like Enhanced Campaigns didn't impact revenue as much as management and the market thought. As a result, Google's share price was very strong after market - up 8.2%.''
Many advertisers discovered after moving to Enhanced Campaigns they were not addressing the mobile opportunity appropriately and had now discovered new opportunities and better paid-click volumes, he said.
Google noted several positive results from mobile in the earnings call.
They included 40% of YouTube's traffic now coming from mobile, up from 6% two years ago; mobile was generating stronger online advertisement conversations (paid-click growth) versus the PC; it was driving more phone calls because of easy access to phone numbers on the advertisement; mobile was also driving more in-store traffic.
Mobile phones were becoming a larger and more integral part of day-to-day lives and users now depended on the devices for a greater number of tasks, Mr McIntyre said.
According to Google, mobile devices had ''always on'' characteristics, regardless of the region the user was from.
''This means mobile devices provide consumers new ways of searching and discovering information and gives advertisers and businesses new ways of reaching consumers. What's more, location-aware devices make the search and discovery process more relevant.''
Studies had shown the time spent online on mobile devices had grown exponentially, meaning not only a lot of new services and apps were available for users but there was also a huge opportunity existing for businesses looking to reach mobile users at the right time and location, he said.
From a long-term perspective, Craigs remained supporters of Google and liked the company for its large exposure to the ever-increasing global internet usage from shopping, search, media and video consumption, and media.
