Google Ads

75/100

Google Ads dominates search advertising and is indispensable for demand generation teams focused on high-intent keywords. While marketing teams rely on it daily for lead generation, product and engineering teams rarely interface with the platform directly. Success requires dedicated PPC expertise to manage bidding strategies and avoid wasted spend.
