About this Course

This course helps you improve Google Ads campaign performance through analysis, optimization, and hands-on application. You’ll build the skills needed to evaluate results, identify opportunities, and make data-driven decisions that improve efficiency and outcomes across search campaigns. You’ll explore Google Ads reporting tools and learn how to interpret performance at multiple levels, including campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and ad assets. By working with real campaign data, you’ll learn how to identify high-performing elements, uncover areas for improvement, and understand how key metrics work together to measure success. The course covers how to use the optimization score to guide smarter campaign improvements. You’ll learn how the score is calculated, how to evaluate recommendations, and how to prioritize actions that align with your campaign goals. These insights help refine bidding, targeting, and creative strategies. Planning and forecasting are also introduced through the Performance Planner tool. You’ll learn how to project results, test budget scenarios, and optimize conversion-focused campaigns before making changes. You’ll also explore how AI continues to influence campaign performance and optimization in Google Ads. Learning is reinforced through a hands-on project in which you create and evaluate a Google Ads search campaign from a campaign brief. You’ll develop keyword lists, write ad copy, configure campaign settings, and analyze performance results. Reflection and analysis help translate insights into actionable improvements. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to analyze performance data, apply optimization strategies, and continuously improve Google Ads campaigns using a structured, data-driven approach. If you have completed all four courses in this program, you will also be prepared to take the Google Ads Search Certification exam. 3b:T11bf,{"@cont
