Summary
- Setting Up a Google Ads Campaign: Start by creating an account and setting up a new campaign focused on website sales and signups. Fill in the required information and ensure your landing page is optimized for both desktop and mobile.
- Choosing Keywords and Headlines: Select multiple headlines for your ads to rotate in search results. Add relevant keywords to match user search queries, keeping in mind the bidding process against other advertisers.

- Advanced Campaign Features: Switch to expert mode for additional features like the Keyword Planner, allowing for more tailored and effective campaigns. Focus on video ads for platforms like YouTube.
- Creating Video Ads: Develop 15-second non-skippable video ads to engage viewers on YouTube. Ensure your video content is compliant with YouTube regulations and properly tagged.
- Setting Bid Amounts: Define how much you're willing to pay per 1,000 ad impressions. Google will optimize your ad based on this budget, but be prepared to adjust if necessary.
