What are Google Ads?
About Google Ads
Google Ads is an online advertising platform developed by Google, where advertisers pay to display brief advertisements, service offerings, product listings, or videos to web users. It can place ads both in the results of search engines like Google Search and on non-search websites, mobile apps, and videos. Google Ads' system is based partly on cookies and partly on keywords determined by advertisers.
