<h2>How does Google Ads work?</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":4268,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} -->
<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://www.chinesemenuonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/pay-per-click-text-keyboard-button-1024x595.jpg" alt="pay-per-click-on-keyboard" class="wp-image-4268"/></figure></div>
<!-- /wp:image -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Google Ads operates under the Pay-Per-Click model or PPC online advertising. Basically, the ads will not show up on top of the Search Engine Result Page (SERP). Instead, advertisers must bid on a certain keyword, and you pay a small fee for each customer interaction.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When bidding against other restaurants, you have a higher chance to show off your google ads to the potential customer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This can translate into generating a higher impression to the hungry customer that is searching for the food you are offering.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In Google Ads, we recommend you set up a reasonable amount of Daily Budget, so you can manage the amount you want to spend in a day.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<h2>Different Bidding Options</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Google Ads offers a variety of bidding strategies. Google will favor advertisers that not just have the highest bid but relevant and credibility of your website. This does not equal paying the highest bid keyword and you grant the top search. Instead, Google will take into consideration your relevancy and the quality of the ad. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For example, you and your competitors bid on the same keywords and your competitor pays higher to be top search, but they have a low-quality score. Your quality score is 10/10 and you pay lower. Google Ads will favor your ads over your competitors, as a result, you get the top page SERP.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>So as a restaurant you would want to focus on 1 bidding strategy.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Cost-Per-Click (CPC)</span></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li> As the name suggests you set how much you would like on each click.</li></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>Maximizing clicks is the best option when it comes to restaurant ads.</li></ul>
<!-- /wp:list -->

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul><li>Starting out with CPC allows you to manage the amount you spend on each click.</li></ul>
