A percentage of these queries will include search words related to your business’ niche or sector. Even if it is a tiny proportion, in absolute number terms, it is still significant enough to help boost your business.
Local business impact
According to research carried out by Google, four out of every five queries consist of searches for local products or services.
If your business focuses on the local market, Google is probably the best way to gain new customers and enhance brand awareness. A company’s brand is its image and personality. It reflects how people perceive your product or business.
Precision targeting

Faster than SEO
SEO stands for search engine optimization, i.e., trying to improve where you appear on a search result on Google, Yahoo, etc. If somebody searches using the keyword bicycles and your bicycle company appears on the first results page, your website has excellent SEO.
The problem with SEO is that it can take a long time; many months and even years. Google Ads works much faster than SEO. If you want to generate more leads and visitor traffic, there is no comparison.

Detailed metrics
The term metrics refers to measurements that show how efficient a strategy, such as a marketing campaign, has been. Metrics might include how many people clicked on an ad, what they did after they clicked, clicks-to-sales ratios, etc.
In traditional advertising media like television, radio, or printed newspapers, marketing professionals have very limited access to metrics. With Google Ads, however, you can gather and analyze an enormous amount of data.
Put simply; with a PPC platform, it is easy to determine how effective and successful your marketing or advertising campaign has been.
