Chapter 1: Introduction to Google Ads
🌟 What is Google Ads?
Google Ads is Google’s online advertising platform where businesses pay to show ads on Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and other websites in the Google Display Network. It operates on a pay-per-click (PPC) model—meaning you only pay when someone clicks on your ad.
Whether you’re a startup or a multinational brand, Google Ads helps drive targeted traffic, leads, and conversions with measurable results.
⚙️ How Google Ads Works
When a user searches something on Google, the platform runs a real-time auction to determine which ads show up. This auction is based on:
- Bid: How much you're willing to pay.
- Quality Score: Google’s rating of the relevance and quality of your ad.
- Ad Rank: Bid × Quality Score.
Ads appear above or below organic search results based on this Ad Rank.
🚀 Key Benefits of Google Ads

- Measurable ROI: Track clicks, conversions, and every rupee spent.
- Flexible Budgets: Start with any budget and scale as you grow.
