Can I Promote on Google? Yes, and Here's How to Start

Yes, You Can Promote on Google—No Matter Your Size

Good news: You don’t need a Fortune 500 budget to get seen on Google.

From solo entrepreneurs to small brick-and-mortar shops, Google Ads is one of the most accessible ad platforms on the planet. You can start with as little as a few dollars a day, target exactly who you want, and see results fast.

Let’s break down how it works and what you need to know.

What Is Google Ads (and Why It Works)?

Google Ads is Google’s paid advertising platform where you can show up:

On the search results page (Google Search)
Across websites that show display ads
On YouTube, Google Maps, and even Gmail

You only pay when someone clicks your ad (called pay-per-click or PPC), which makes it budget-friendly and results-driven.

Who Can Use Google Ads?

Anyone with a product, service, or message can advertise. Here’s what you need:

A Google account (free)
A website or landing page (or at least a phone number)
A clear goal (calls, sign-ups, purchases, etc.)
A small daily budget (many start with $5–$10/day)

Google even offers Smart Campaigns—an automated ad option designed for beginners. It takes the guesswork out and gets your ad up and running in minutes.

How to Start Promoting on Google

Here’s the simple roadmap:

Create a Google Ads account
Choose your campaign goal (e.g., drive traffic, get calls)
Set a budget and location for where you want your ad to appear
Write your ad copy (Google gives helpful suggestions)
Choose your keywords (what people search to find you)
Launch—and monitor!

Google’s dashboard shows you clicks, impressions, and cost, so you know exactly how your ad is performing.

Key Tips for New Advertisers

Start local. Narrow targeting = lower costs and better results.
Use negative keywords. Stop wasting money on irrelevant searches.
Write clear, benefit-driven copy. Speak to what your audience wants.
Track results. Set up Google Analytics or use call tracking for full visibility.
