01

What Google advertising is

Google Ads lets you show an ad to people who are searching for a service or product at that moment. It suits businesses that want traffic and leads in the short to medium term and can set a clear goal and budget.

02

The main campaign types

A Search campaign meets explicit intent, a Display campaign builds exposure, Shopping suits ecommerce, and Video supports brand building. For most service businesses, a focused Search campaign is a logical place to start.

03

How much does Google advertising cost?

The cost depends on competition, keywords, and geographic area. You set the daily budget in advance, but budget alone doesn't guarantee results: ad quality, the landing page, and tracking all affect cost per lead.

04

How to choose a campaign manager

Check whether campaigns are organized by intent, whether traffic is sent to a relevant page, and whether reporting includes conversions and cost per lead. A professional manager explains decisions and stops what isn't paying off.

05

A workflow that connects the ad to the result

Keyword research, campaign structure, ad copywriting, connecting a landing page, and setting up measurement are one continuous sequence. After launch, you add negative keywords, improve ads, and shift budget to what works.

06

Common mistakes

A campaign with no defined conversions, keywords that are too broad, stopping too early, and a mismatch between the ad's promise and the page are major causes of wasted budget.

07

Combining paid, organic, and landing pages

Paid advertising delivers speed and data, SEO builds a long-term asset, and a landing page turns intent into action. When all three are measured together, it's easier to see where leads come from and what's worth improving.
