How to integrate Google Adwords with Magento 2

What is Google Adwords?

Google AdWords is Google’s advertising system in which advertisers bid on certain keywords in order for their clickable ad to appear in Google’s search results at prioritized positions. Store’ s admin has to pay some fee whenever a target customer clicks on their site URL on Google search result pages.

Since the product data parameters in Google Adwords and Magento 2 are fully compatible, store’ s admin can apply these parameters to their product data, which generates Product Feed. For the reason that Magento 2 now does not support feed generating, we need to use an added product feed extension. Moreover, Google Adwords allows advertising various business forms, in this article, Mageplaza will guide you how to upload product feeds to Google adwords with your typical business.
