About this course
Learn Google Ads by actually building it.
Never opened Google Ads before? Don't know what CPC, CTR, CPA or ROAS mean? That's exactly where this course starts.
Most Google Ads courses assume you already know your way around the screen. This one doesn't. It explains every screen, every setting and every number in plain language, with real screenshots and "look at your screen right now" steps, so you always know exactly where to click and why.
You start by building one complete Search campaign, line by line. Then you build every other campaign type Google Ads offers:
Search • Performance Max • Demand Gen • Display • Shopping • Video • App
At every stage, AI helps you work faster, finding keywords, writing ad copy, checking your setup and analysing results, while one principle stays at the centre:
AI SUGGESTS → YOU VERIFY → REAL GOOGLE ADS DATA DECIDES
