Google ad allows you to reach both groups of searchers by bidding for keywords that will put your website on the top of the Google search result page where the user can easily find your ad. It normally takes weeks or months for a website to show on the top of the search result pages and most companies hire SEO experts to help optimize their web pages to rank high on google organically. But with Google ads, you can rank your website high for related keywords on the Google search result page instantly which is great as it creates a level playing field for companies big and small to compete favourably.
