Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is the world’s biggest PPC platform. It lets your business show up on Google search results and across Google’s network (like YouTube and partner websites).
There are two main types of Google Ads most businesses use:
Search Ads – Text ads that show up at the top of Google when someone searches for something related to your product or service.
Display Ads – Image or banner ads that show across websites, apps, and YouTube to raise awareness and stay top-of-mind.
Benefits of using Google Ads:
Reach people actively searching for what you offer
Appear above your competitors on search results
Track every dollar spent with clear data and reporting
Only pay for clicks (not just views)
For example:
If you run a mobile car detailing business, your ad could appear every time someone searches “car detailing near me” in your area. That means your business is front and center when someone is ready to buy — and you're only paying if they click.
