Want to rank #1 on Google for your most desirable search terms?

You will need to buy ads on Google.

Advertising is the only way to rank #1 on Google for generic search keywords.

Take advantage of this new reality on Google

While it may be disappointing, all is not lost! It’s easy to advertise on Google using their do-it-yourself product called Google Ads Express.

Just one catch: Google has made Google Ads Express too easy to get setup, with the default settings favoring Google and spending your budget quickly. Unfortunately, most of our clients that have used Google Ads Express have burned through their advertising budget without much to show for it, concluding that ads on Google just don’t work.

There’s another option to dominate Google…
