A Search Campaign in Google Ads is a type of ad campaign that displays text ads on Google’s search results pages when people search for specific keywords related to your business, products, or services.

🔍 What It Does

Search campaigns let you reach users who are actively searching for what you offer. These ads appear:

Above or below organic search results on Google Search
On Google Search Partners (optional)

📌 Example
