What are Google Search Ads?
Google Search Ads are the listings that appear on search engine results pages because they have been paid to be included.
They are usually located at the top of the results list – either marked by an area with a lightly coloured background or a small ‘ad’ label, or at the right-hand side of the results page.
To advertise, you identify keywords to bid on in an auction, how much you want to spend, and create groups of those keywords paired with ads.
Google enters the most relevant keyword from your groups into an auction with the maximum bid you’ve specified and the associated ad.
Where your ad is placed is determined by your maximum bid and a quality score (based on click-through-rate, relevance and landing page).
