I am a B2B sofa manufacturer looking to get some wholesale business, mainly overseas trade, through Google Search Ads.
Then I started to develop my Google Ads plan. I chose some ‘product words + manufacturer/supplier/factory/wholesale’ keywords to advertise, but the ones coming are retail customers and home customers.
I think it's my keywords that are the problem because I have stated in my ad copy and landing page that we are a wholesale business.
I used my keywords to look at the top 10 search results for natural Google traffic and to check the SERPs, but when I searched on Google with one of the keywords (e.g. sectional sofa manufacturer) the top 10 search results were all taken up by B2C websites, and when I searched with the other keywords, the same thing happened!
As a result, I now have a lot of questions about search intent and keywords:
I'm really confused and hope someone can answer my questions, thanks!

As a result, I now have a lot of questions about search intent and keywords:
- When I search for B2B keywords in the traditional sense (e.g. sectional sofa manufacturer), I find that the search results are mostly B2C websites. Is it necessary to continue investing in Google AdWords for such keywords?
- Also, are the first 10 results on the Google search page representative of the search intent for that keyword?
- How do I choose the right B2B wholesale keywords to advertise?
- Also, is it correct to assume that what I think of as a B2C site is that when you click on the site, the products are marked with a price?
I'm really confused and hope someone can answer my questions, thanks!
