WHAT IS GOOGLE ADS ?

Google Ads is an online advertising platform developed by Google where businesses can promote their products or services through paid ads. These ads appear on Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs), YouTube, Gmail, and across millions of websites in Google’s Display Network. Key Points about Google Ads: Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Model – Advertisers pay only when a user clicks on their ad. Ad Formats – Includes text ads, image ads, video ads, shopping ads, and app promotion ads. Targeting Options – Businesses can target specific audiences based on keywords, location, age, gender, interests, and even online behavior. Bidding System – Advertisers bid on keywords. The ad placement depends on bid amount + ad quality (called Ad Rank). Measurable Results – Provides detailed analytics (impressions, clicks, conversions, ROI) to track performance.
