About this category: Online advertising

Online advertising works when you know what to expect from each channel. SEO usually takes time but builds steady traffic; Google's pay-per-click ads get you seen faster but only last as long as you keep paying. The articles in this section help you combine the two properly, launch campaigns with a clear goal and build a page that turns visitors into calls or sales. They focus on decisions that directly affect your money: what budget makes sense to start with, what you should measure and when to stop or fix a campaign. Before launching any campaign, make sure your site's contact options, forms or shopping cart work properly so paid clicks aren't wasted.

We suggest reading the SEO vs Google Ads comparison first, to see which one should come first for your business right now, or what combination makes sense. Then read the Google Ads guide to learn about campaign structure, keyword selection and controlling cost per click. Finally, the landing page article shows which sections an ad's destination page needs, because even the best campaign is wasted on a weak page.

If you want a specialist team to launch and optimize your campaigns, see the Google Ads management page; the management fee is separate from your click budget.
