I Need Some Advice Before I Start Using Google Ads

The best advice for beginners: build an extensive negative keyword list before spending your first dollar. Don't jump straight into Broad Match or automated Performance Max campaigns; Google will burn your budget on irrelevant search terms. Start with Exact and Phrase match, collect conversion data for at least 2-3 weeks, and only then let the smart bidding algorithms take over.

Monitor the indicators and conduct ongoing analytics; you need tools such as a tracker to assess the situation as accurately as possible.
 
You can start with conversion tracking and make sure it is working properly, after that focus on choosing relevant keywords and targeting the right audience before increasing the budget.
 
honestly the one thing nobody tells beginners is the search terms report. check it every few days in the first month and add negatives as they come up. that one habit saves way more budget than any other setting
 
Focus on conversion tracking and search intent first. Keep it simple and optimize based on the data.
 
Keep your first test focused on one clear goal, otherwise it gets confusing to know what the campaign is trying to achieve.
 
Yes, the biggest thing early on is learning how search intent works because good keywords and a clear match between the ad and landing page usually make a big difference.
 
Learn the basics of campaign structure and keyword match types and targeting first, also keep your initial tests simple and build from there.
 
You should learn the basics one by one instead of trying everything at once, then start with keywords and match types and then study targeting or bidding and conversions.
 
According to me, you should be very clear about your goal whether you want sales, leads or traffic, then it is very important to fix conversion tracking by installing Google tags on your website so that you know where the money is coming from. Don't spend a lot of money in the beginning, start with a small budget, learn conversion tracking and keep checking the performance of your campaign, choose the right keywords and also pay attention to negative keywords so that money is not wasted on unnecessary clicks, try different methods and keep improving accordingly.

Man focus on conversion tracking first. No point spending money on ads if you don't know what's actually bringing results. Once that's set up, you can start testing keywords and targeting.
 
In the beginning, I would focus on understanding search intent and choosing the right keywords because these basics can make a big difference in your campaigns.
 
Yes, I think understanding keywords and search intent is a good place to start because once you know what people are actually searching for, the rest becomes much easier.
 
What niche are you planning to run? For gambling ads on google for example (since its a blackhat niche) you need to properly warm up the account, have a good cloaker etc.
 
In my experience, beginners should pay attention to conversion tracking and landing page quality first because these two things can make a big difference in campaign performance.
