Google Ads will help you create your first campaign. You'll be asked to:

Choose campaign type: Display Network, Search Network, Shopping, etc.

Set a budget: Decide how much you want to spend daily or monthly.

Define targeting: Choose the location and language of the audience you want to target.

5. Set Up Billing Information
