  • Alamgir

I was extremely disappoint to enroll in this course. I was not expecting this quality of basic content from Favier platform.
I strongly recommend to take Google Search Fundamental Course for free rather than enrolling to this fundamental course. Don't waste your money !!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do ads work on Google?

    Google supports a few different types of advertising; this course focuses on Google search ads. These ads are shown to users who’ve searched for a specific term. They normally appear first on the search-results pages, outranking the organic results. Each Google search ad acts as a link to the advertiser’s website. If the ad is relevant and includes appealing ad copy, then the searcher might click through to that website. And if they like what they see when they get there, they might even make a purchase!

  • Which is better, SEO or Google Ads?

    It’s hard to make a direct comparison between SEO and Google Ads. The two are very different and each has pros and cons; many businesses use both for best results. SEO is most effective as part of a long-term marketing strategy; it can take time for a website to rank organically – especially for competitive keywords. Meanwhile, Google Ads deliver immediate benefits. If you select the right keywords and set a realistic budget, your ad could appear at the top of the search results right away.

  • How do I optimize keywords for Google Ads?

    With Google Ads, you can define which keywords will trigger your ads to show. Try to choose keywords that are relevant, popular with searchers, and cost-effective. Short keywords (or ‘head’ keywords) get the most traffic, but long-tail keywords are often more relevant. For example, ‘dresses’ would get more traffic than ‘floral-print dresses’, but if you only sell floral-print dresses then it’s a lot less relevant. Ideally, the keyword should also indicate strong purchase intent – for example, ‘buy floral-print dresses’.

  • How do I become a freelance PPC specialist?

    The first step is to build up your knowledge, skills, and confidence. We developed our Google Search Ads Fundamentals course to teach you all the basic techniques behind successful PPC campaigns. Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll be ready to start offering your services as a freelance PPC specialist. Creating gigs on Fiverr is a great way to get work in this sector. Our SEM category is visited every day by business owners looking for PPC experts to manage their Google Ads campaigns.

  • How long does it take to learn Google Ads?

    Google Ads is always evolving as Google introduces new features and as searchers’ habits change. Even the most experienced Google Ads campaign managers would admit that they’re still learning. That makes SEM an exciting sector to work in. When you start out, the key is to focus on the fundamentals – and that’s what we’ve done here. We’ve squeezed all the most important bits into this course, making it as simple as possible for you to learn the skills you’ll need to provide PPC services here on Fiverr.

  • What are landing pages and why are they important?

    You can control which page each ad links back to. This becomes your landing page (the place where searchers first ‘land’ on your website). You could use your homepage as your landing page, but a specific service/product page will often achieve higher conversions. You could even build a bespoke landing page for your Google Ads campaign. Landing pages are a vital part of the sales funnel – after all, they’re the place where the real selling is done. That’s why we’ve devoted a chapter of this course to them.
