Consumers search for virtually everything. This includes the things that small businesses do, from restaurants to bespoke products. When consumers search they get organic results along with paid results. Paid search ads are systematically designed to be relevant. As a result, they’re often useful at getting consumers where they want to go. Consumers don’t tune out paid search like other types of digital ads.
Search ads can be a small business opportunity. While larger advertisers pay massive amounts to place their ads via search, we highlight smart ways small businesses can create their own tailored search campaigns on small budgets. This course shows small businesses how to create and execute search campaigns on Google Ads Search (formally AdWords). Through an introductory overview, students are guided through the official Google Ads Search training materials where they will ultimately earn an official Google Ads Search Certification. Beyond Google materials, practical campaign creation and optimization best practices and exercises are provided by real experts.
This series of lectures provides an overview of search advertising, its history, and its role in the digital marketing landscape. The lectures discuss the evolution of search engines and the emergence of Google as the dominant player in the market. They also explain the process of search advertising, including bidding, audience targeting, and search engine optimization (SEO). The advantages and disadvantages of search advertising are explored, highlighting its relevance to consumers, effectiveness in generating leads, and potential challenges such as high competition and limited creative options. Finally, the lectures touch on the future of search advertising, with a focus on the increasing role of artificial intelligence and voice search.

Furthermore, we discuss the concept of impression share, the ongoing tension between Google's push for automation in PPC advertising, and the potential for automating campaign optimization using Python.
