Overview:
In today’s technologically connected society, people have access to information almost everywhere they go on a variety of devices.

Managing an AdWords campaign involves constant monitoring, analysis, and refinement to improve campaign performance. In this course, you’ll create a Google AdWords account and an AdWords campaign.
