Google AdWords is an easy-to-use way to market your business online. With more and more people using the internet to find products and services, promoting yourself online can be a cost-effective way of attracting new customers.

Whatever your business, Google AdWords enable you to target potential new customers at precisely the moment they are searching for your product or service.

  • You’re in control
    You decide where your ad appears – by country, region or town. Plus, your ad only appears next to relevant searches.
  • You set your own budget
    There’s no minimum spend and you can set a maximum daily budget (e.g. £5 per day) and decide how much you are willing to pay for each new visitor (e.g. 10p per visit). This means that AdWords is suitable for businesses of all sizes. If you don't wish to spend beyond your free £75 of promotional credit, you can either set your account up to end at this time, or regularly check how much of the promotional credit you've used. After your promotional credit is used up you'll automatically move to your chosen billing method.
  • There’s no waste
    You only pay when someone clicks on your ad, so it’s a highly targeted, cost-effective way to promote your business.
