Most importantly it can get you visible at the top of the search results instantly.

Google Adwords is a pay per click platform which means that you only pay when someone clicks on your adverts. It connects the keywords that people use in Google searches to display relevant adverts about products and services that may interest the searchers.

Adverts can be displayed either inline with organic search results, via a huge advertising network or within youtube videos via the TrueView platform. You can pick where your ads are displayed when you configure your campaign.

Adwords gives advertisers the opportunity to advertise their businesses at the exact time and place that someone maybe looking for them and more importantly without having to battle against the heavily SEO invested competitors who naturally appear for your keywords.

Adwords are ideal for people who:

• Have just started online and want to be visible immediately
