WHAT IS GOOGLE ADS

Google Ads is Google’s online advertising platform that enables businesses to display ads to users searching for products, watching videos, or browsing websites. It operates primarily on a pay-per-click (PPC) model, where advertisers pay only when someone clicks on their ad, making it effective for driving website traffic, leads, and sales. [1, 2]

Key aspects of Google Ads include:

• Diverse Ad Formats: Ads appear as search results (text-based), banner ads (display), videos on YouTube, or product listings on Google Shopping.
• Targeting Abilities: Advertisers can target users based on keywords, interests, demographics, location, and remarketing to past website visitors.
• Auction System: Ad placement is determined by a fast, automated auction that evaluates bid amount and ad quality (relevance).
• Budget Control: There is no minimum spending commitment, allowing businesses of any size to set their own budget, which can be modified at any time. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Formerly known as Google AdWords, this platform is designed to help businesses reach potential customers at the exact moment they are interested in related products or services. [1, 2]
