Keywords: Start by giving Google a list of keywords, which tells Google to serve your ads on the results page when people search for those keywords
Ads: The advertiser writes copy that they believe answers the user’s search query. Ads should be relevant to the associated keywords in terms of their product/service to ultimately drive clicks to the website
Landing Pages: The landing page should be relevant to the keyword and the ad for optimum results.
Keyword lists are the list of word combinations that you would like your ad to show for when a potential customer searches.

- Having an exhaustive list of keywords that your target audience is likely to search for is essential to building coverage to ensure your brand is visible for the most valuable searches in the user’s buyer journey
