PPC stands for Pay-Per-Click advertising. Can anyone tell me what they think happens in a PPC model?
I think advertisers pay whenever someone clicks their ad?
Exactly! That's the core of PPC. It allows advertisers to pay only for actual engagement. And why do you think this is advantageous?
It’s probably better than paying just to show ads, right?
Yes! It gives full budget control because you're paying for results. Remember this: PPC is like paying only for the audience that walks through your door.
So, it’s instantly visible too?

Now, let's discuss how Google Ads operates. What do you think plays a big role in making sure your ad appears?
Well, keywords must be important, right?
Absolutely! Keywords trigger your ads. Yet, there's also an auction system. Can you guess how that affects where the ad appears?
Is it like whoever bids the most gets the best position?
