How to Use Google AdWords effectively begins with determining your goal. Your campaign will target a particular audience, collect bid money, and have specific goals. The type of campaign you choose will depend on your business goals, and the types of audiences you wish to target. Search campaigns are most popular, as they generate leads. You can target certain languages, audiences, or networks, and you can even customize your ad text.

Once you have chosen your audience, you will need to select your geographic location. A storefront with physical items should select a radius around their physical location. An e-commerce business that ships to multiple locations can select anywhere in the world. You can choose to advertise your products online, no matter where the customers are located. For those who are new to Google AdWords, it's best to start with automatic bids and monitor your spending to determine the most effective approach.

Once you have chosen your target audience and keyword, you'll want to write your ad copy. Your description should be at least 80 characters. Don't forget to include any offers or discounts, and double and triple check your ad to make sure you don't miss anything. Submitting your ad will require you to pay for the ad until your budget is exhausted, which is usually 30 days later.

Once you've chosen your location, you can choose the geographic area you want to target. If you own a brick-and-mortar store, you should choose a radius that encompasses the location where your products are sold. If you have an online store, you can select any location where you ship your products. Using a global approach will allow you to select any location. Once you've selected your location, you'll have the ability to adjust the bids automatically.

After selecting a location, choose a device. You can target any device you want, including smartphones and tablets. You can also target specific devices with Google AdWords. You'll have the option to adjust your bid based on the location and the type of device the person is using. This will help you reach a targeted audience. If you're not familiar with the platform, use a keyword planner to make the most of it.​
