Think of Google Ads as your digital storefront on the world's busiest street – Google's search results! When someone searches for products or services like yours, your ad can appear right at the top of the results. The beautiful thing is you only pay when someone actually clicks on your ad. So if you're a local plumber, when someone searches "emergency plumber near me" at 2 AM, boom – there you are, ready to help (and win a new customer)!
