Google Ads Start Guide: Google Ads Campaign Types

Google Ads is a powerful platform that can help you reach your target audience and grow your business. With over 2 billion active users, Google has a large and diverse audience that you can target with your ads.

Google Ads offers nine campaign types, each with its own set of goals and features. The campaign type you choose will depend on what you want to achieve with your advertising.

Search campaigns are the most popular type of Google Ads campaign. They show your ads on Google Search results pages when people search for keywords that are related to your business.

The above is an example, the paid results are from the Search Campaigns.

You can reach potential customers who are actively looking for products or services like theirs. When someone searches for a keyword(Even your competitors!!) related to your business, your ad can appear at the top of the search results page, giving you a great opportunity to reach them.

If you're not sure which campaign type is right for you, I recommend starting with a search campaign. Search campaigns are the most popular type of Google Ads campaign and they're a great way to reach people who are actively looking for your products or services.
