What is Google Ads?

Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is the world's largest digital advertising platform, enabling businesses to display ads across Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and millions of partner websites. It operates primarily on a pay-per-click (PPC) model.

Why Google Ads Matters for B2B

Google Ads captures high-intent traffic, people actively searching for solutions. B2B companies using Google Ads see average conversion rates of 3-5% for search ads, with cost per lead ranging from $50-$200 depending on the industry.
