Google<\/span> is the world\u2019s most visited web<\/span> site<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 with searches numbering in the billions every day. That\u2019s why it\u2019s such a powerful place to advertise your business<\/span>. Ranking<\/span> in organic search results<\/span> in Google<\/span> takes time and a lot of SEO<\/span> expertise. But paid Google<\/span> Search<\/span> ads is one of the most effective methods<\/span> of online advertising<\/span> available, and results can be almost instant.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Google Search Ads?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Google Ads<\/span> (formerly known as Google<\/span> AdWords<\/span>) is a paid search<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ad<\/span> platform that<\/span>\u2019s a form of pay-per-click (PPC)<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>marketing<\/span>. You pay\u00a0<\/span>per click or per impression on the ad<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s an effective way of driving leads<\/span> who are searching<\/span> for exactly what you\u2019re selling to your website<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why You Need to Use Google Search Ads<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Why\u00a0<\/span>are Google<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>earch ads so effective? Because they allow you to show up on the search results page<\/span> (SERP<\/span>) right when your\u00a0<\/span>target\u00a0<\/span>audience is searching<\/span> for<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>products and services like yours. Their intent to buy is high \u2013 that\u2019s why they\u2019re usually conducting the search<\/span> \u2013 and you can appear at the very top of the page<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>And the benefits don\u2019t stop there. Google Ads<\/span> will also let you analyze how your ads are performing. And it allows you to make tweaks to make them even more effective. You can also control your spending to fi<\/span>t<\/span>\u00a0your budget<\/span> easily\u00a0<\/span>\u2013<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to set a monthly cap on spending and pause your ads at any time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>How Google Search Ads Work\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Google<\/span> search<\/span> ads use a bidding system to display ads<\/a><\/span>. This means you select a maximum bid amount you want to pay per click<\/span> on your ad<\/span>. The higher the bid amount, the higher your placement on the search results page<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bid strategies for your Google<\/span> search<\/span> ads can be manual \u2013 where you set the limit you want to spend \u2013 or automatic \u2013 where Google<\/span> sets your bids based on\u00a0<\/span>your competitors<\/span>. Select whichever one works for you<\/span>r campaign and your goals.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GoogleAds has other PPC options<\/span>\u00a0for ads campaigns<\/span><\/span>, like\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0Google Display<\/a>\u00a0network<\/span>\u00a0[link to Google Display Ads page] which places ads on other sites, but we\u2019re strictly covering search<\/span> ads in this article<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GoogleAds offers ad<\/span> extensions too. These allow you to add more information on your location, offers, or site pages<\/span> onto your ad<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set Your Google Ads Up for Success\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

To create a successful Google<\/span> search<\/span> ads campaign for your business<\/span>, you must start with a compelling headline and ad<\/span> copy. Remember, you want to address exactly what your ideal customers<\/span> are searching<\/span> for with each\u00a0target keyword.<\/a>\u00a0If you are creating an ad<\/span> for the keyword<\/span> \u201chow to make pizza dough\u201d with an ad<\/span> that tells the user how to make bread dough, you\u2019re not addressing what they need. You\u2019ll be overlooked and over budget<\/span>, too.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>You also need to be sure your whole conversion<\/span> process is on target, not just the ad<\/span> copy. That means a well-written landing page<\/span> users encounter after they click<\/span> through your ad<\/span> that drives them to a purchase. It also means a customized thank you page<\/span> for the next step. Creating a seamless experience is key to getting those leads<\/span> to make a sales decision and spending your ad<\/span> budget<\/span> wisely.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
