Do you know why the name was changed from Google Adwords to Google Ads?

Because it is not about the word or the keywords anymore. Google ads have changed over the years. It now has more ways to target audiences beyond just keywords. For example, audience targeting via Google Display Network, remarketing campaigns, similar audiences,  Gmail ads, youtube ads, remarketing list for search ads ( RLSA ), and so on. While it can be confusing for many. It is also an opportunity to get these low-cost clicks compared to search cost which is the highest in the world in UAE. Let’s explore some of the audience targeting options in this search engine marketing post.
