Ads Budget
Google Ads works on an auction basis where businesses bid for the top or preferred position for selected Keywords and phrases and in preferred locations. Most of these ads are charged at a “Cost per Click” or Price Per Click and businesses get to choose their daily ad budget.
Does this mean I need a lot of money to advertise?
No. We’ll teach you how to do Keywords research so you get more value for your advertising dollar. By using Keywords that specifically match what your prospect is looking for, you’ll attract the right type of clients without blowing your budget.
You’ll explore campaigns based around niche keywords that make it cheaper to target specific services while also bringing traffic to your website.

Keyword Research
Keywords and Key Phrases are the cornerstone of the English language. As early as primary school we learn about using words to search for information as well as write about it.
Sometimes you’ll do a Google search for something only to realise that you need to use better keywords to get better results. You’ll learn how to identify the best keywords to attract website visitor traffic to your business website.
Market Research of your competitors
Understanding the keywords that buyers use to find your business will make a big difference to what you put into your Google Ads as well as the words on your landing pages.
