Google AdWords For Digital Marketing Ninjas
You've been meaning to run Google Ads. Maybe you started, got confused, and quietly closed the tab. This book was written for exactly that moment. A complete, step-by-step walkthrough — from zero to your first live, optimised campaign. No jargon. No assumed knowledge. No skipped steps.
Most Beginners Don't Fail at Google Ads. They Fail at Getting Started.
The interface is overwhelming. The settings have no clear explanation. The jargon piles up. And when something doesn't work, there's no one to tell you why.
Most guides either assume you already know the basics, or they're so surface-level they leave you more confused than when you started.
This book does neither. Written the way I wish someone had explained it to me — start to finish, with screenshots, with real reasoning, with nothing skipped.
Every chapter follows on from the last. By the end, you've built an actual campaign — not just read about one.
You never have to guess what you're looking at. The interface is explained visually, the way it actually looks when you're in it.
For each feature, I explain not just what it does — but why it matters and when to use it.
Every example, every tip, every warning comes from real campaigns I managed — not from reading documentation.
126 pages. You'll finish it in a weekend. Then you'll go run your first campaign — because you'll know exactly what to do.
11 Chapters.
One Complete Campaign.
Every chapter builds on the last. By Chapter 11, you have a live, optimised campaign — and you understand every part of it.
What Google Ads actually is, why it works for most businesses, and — critically — when it doesn't. This chapter saves you money before you've spent a single rupee.
Google doesn't just show the highest bidder. It's a quality-weighted auction. This chapter explains the mechanics so you stop overpaying and start outscoring competitors with bigger budgets.
Accounts, campaigns, ad groups — the three-layer structure beginners always get wrong. Understand this once and every future campaign decision becomes ten times easier.
The anatomy of an ad group, how to structure keywords inside it, and why a poorly organised ad group is the #1 reason campaigns underperform before a single rupee is spent.
How to find the keywords your buyers are actually using — not the ones you assume they use. A complete walkthrough of the Keyword Planner with average position explained.
Exact, Phrase, Broad, Modified Broad — and when each is the right or the wrong choice. This one decision controls who sees your ads. Most beginners set it once and never revisit it.
The most powerful cost-saving tool in Google Ads that beginners almost always ignore. How to add them at campaign and ad group level — with examples that make the logic click immediately.
Adding multiple ad groups, setting up billing, and doing a final structural review before anything goes live. The checklist that stops the most common launch mistakes.
Running a campaign without conversion tracking is like driving with no dashboard. Setup from scratch — what a conversion is, how to generate the tracking code, and how to embed it correctly.
What to actually look at once the campaign is live — at campaign, ad, and keyword level. Segments and dimensions explained so your data tells you something useful, not just numbers.
The full optimisation playbook: search query reports, ad testing, mobile bid adjustments, location targeting, IP exclusions, ad scheduling, and the complete checklist for when performance dips.

Experienced Professionals Refreshing Their Basics
You've been doing this a while. Some of what you learned early was never explained properly. This book is also for you — to rebuild the foundation cleanly.
One Honest Thing Before You Buy.
This book was written in 2017.
Google Ads has changed since then — some interface elements look different, some features have evolved. The platforms move.
What hasn't changed: the logic. How the auction works. Why match types matter. How to read a search query report. How to build campaign structure that doesn't collapse when you scale. The fundamentals remain accurate because they're based on how the system thinks — not just what the buttons look like.
A second edition is coming. When it does, it will include the psychology layer I've developed over the last decade. For now, this is the book that built the foundation for 25,000 people who went on to run real campaigns.
"I wrote it the way I wish someone had written it for me when I was starting out — with nothing assumed and nothing skipped. If you get stuck on anything, I genuinely mean the email address in the book. Reach out."
A Book That Earned Its Place.
Officially recommended reading in the Kurukshetra University digital marketing programme. One of the rare practitioner-written books to enter an Indian university syllabus — because it bridges what textbooks explain and what campaigns actually demand.
Recognised by BookAuthority as one of the top Google Ads books for beginners. Ranked on merit — not on publisher influence. The criteria is simple: does this book actually help someone run their first campaign? This one does.
Every copy sold because someone who read it told someone who hadn't. No publisher. No paid placement. No PR campaign. Twenty-five thousand practitioners who ran their first campaign and came back to say it worked.
What 25,000 Readers Said.
"The only AdWords book that made me realise I'd been optimising the wrong thing. Changed how I think about every campaign."
"I kept recognising things I'd observed but could never articulate. That's the whole value."
"Required reading for anyone managing paid search. The psychology chapter alone is worth ten times the price."
"No basic tutorials. Just what actually works and why."
