Faster than SEO: When you get started with Google, though, your chance of leapfrogging all the organic results on a search engine results page grows exponentially, and it grows easier too.
Build Brand Awareness: Through the Ads search network, even if potential customers aren’t clicking, they see your brand, your tagline, what you offer, and whatever else you use your copy and extensions to showcase. And through the Ads display network, you’ll even prioritize brand awareness by choosing to point out your ad to more people.
Earn more conversions: When Google decides which ads get seen by browsing prospects, they take post-click landing page experience into account.
Remarketing: Google AdWords helps you to reconnect with visitors to your website.
Measure your performance consistently:

a) It is very difficult to measure the outcome of traditional advertisements like newspapers, radio, broadcast television, cable television, outdoor billboards, brochures, etc.

b) Also, they’re far more expensive than Google AdWords. But, AdWords, on the opposite hand, would tell you exactly what happened with the campaign.

Explore more using google ads:

a) There is a lot more to explore when you link your Google AdWords account with your Google Analytics account. AdWords may be a great platform but it won’t allow you to know what people do after clicking the ads.

b) But, Google analytics would help you understand, how long a visitor stayed on-page, how many pages visited, the Bounce Rate, and details about new visitors. By linking them together, you’ll have tons more data in your hand. An advertiser can measure the entire performance of Google ads. He/she can pause the non-performing keywords/campaigns/ads and check out different variations to spice up your results.
