To create an ad group, click on the +Ad Group button from the campaign page. From there, you’ll be able to give your ad group a name and start adding in keywords. Try to choose keywords that are closely related to the theme of your ad group, as this will help your ads be more relevant to the people who see them.

Once you’ve created your ad groups, it’s time to start creating your ads. To do this, click on the +Ad button from the ad group page. You’ll be asked to provide some basic information about your ad, including the headline, description, and destination URL. Make sure to include relevant keywords in your ad so that it is more likely to show up for relevant searches.

And that’s it! You’ve now created your first Google Ads campaign. Remember to keep an eye on your campaign and make sure to adjust your settings as needed to ensure that it is performing well. 

Follow these steps and you’ll be on your way to launching a successful Google Ad Grants campaign!
