What is Google Ads?

Google Ads is Google's online advertising platform, where businesses bid to show ads on Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, and millions of partner sites. Most campaigns run on a pay-per-click basis, so you're charged only when someone clicks. Its power is intent: on Search you appear exactly when someone looks for what you offer, which makes it one of the fastest ways to generate qualified leads. Success depends less on budget than on tight keyword targeting, relevant ads, good landing pages, and proper conversion tracking — without those, spend leaks quickly.
