Overview of Google Ads Introduction

Google Ads are one of the most popular pay-per-click (PPC) advertising platforms in the world. The principle is well-known - you choose targeted keywords and bid on them, based on the amount of money you're willing to spend per click. You choose keywords that are specific words or phrases that are often used in search queries related to your product or service and of course, popular phrases cost more. When a user performs a search that contains your keywords, your ads will appear above organic search results on search engine results pages. This greatly increases your potential for attracting new customers based on the search terms and keywords they enter into Google search. You will of course want the best value for money each time a viewer clicks on your ad. Our one day workshop is aimed at online marketers, web executives, webmasters, agency account managers/directors, and campaign managers who need to set-up, manage and optimise Google Ads paid search campaigns, following industry best practice to make the most of your budget and generate profitable website traffic.
