Google Ads training: Search campaigns that pay off.

A Google Ads training from the team behind a Google Premier Partner agency. You learn to build an account around search intent, bid on what a customer is really worth, and read what every euro brings in. From the basics up to Google Search Ads Advanced.

01

Who it's for

The audience

For people who run Google Ads in-house or are about to, and for anyone who wants to keep track of an agency's work. We match the level: from a first campaign to an account that has been running for years.

01

You run it yourself

Google Ads is live, but between search terms, bid strategies and Performance Max it's guesswork where your budget goes. You want control.

02

You oversee an agency

You get reports, but want to know which questions to ask and whether the account is soundly built.

03

You want to go further

You know the interface and want to move on to Smart Bidding, conversion value and Performance Max with control.

02

What you learn

The programme

Six modules that together cover a complete Search account, from the first structure to weekly optimisation.

Module 01

Account structure

Building campaigns and ad groups around search intent, with budgets that follow what pays off. A structure that helps the algorithm instead of fighting it.

Module 02

Keywords and match types

Broad, phrase and exact match in the age of Smart Bidding, mining the search terms report, and negative keywords that stop wasted spend.

Module 03

Bidding and Smart Bidding

From manual bidding to target CPA and target ROAS: when to choose which strategy, how the learning phase works, and why the conversion value you pass on decides everything.

Module 04

Ads and assets

Responsive search ads that stand out, and assets such as sitelinks, callouts and images. What really matters, and why Ad Strength doesn't tell the whole story.

Module 05

Conversion tracking and reporting

Measuring conversions correctly with the Google tag or Tag Manager, Consent Mode v2 and enhanced conversions, and reporting in cost per lead or revenue, not clicks.

Module 06

Performance Max

How PMax decides where your ads appear, how to build asset groups, exclude your brand and read the channel report. And when PMax doesn't fit your account.

03

How it runs

Open or tailored

Two ways to take this training, both together with ClickTrust: we pool groups and trainers from both agencies.

Open training

Register on the calendar

Open trainings run on fixed dates in Brussels. You sign up individually or with a few colleagues, and learn alongside participants from other companies. Dates and registration are on the ClickTrust Academy calendar.

In-company tailored

Training for your own team

We tune the programme to your channels, your accounts and your goals, and run the training at your office or at ours in Brussels. Beforehand we go over your team's level and questions, so nobody sits through material they already know. You arrange that directly with Izoard. In a tailored training we work in your own account, with your own search terms and numbers.

04

What you leave with

After the training

You leave with an account you understand, and a routine to improve it.

Rather have the account managed for you? Our Google Ads agency works with the same approach, with the account in your name.

  • A structure, to build or reorganise campaigns around search intent
  • A decision framework, for match types, bid strategies and when Performance Max makes sense
  • A tracking checklist, so Smart Bidding steers on real conversions
  • A weekly routine, from mining search terms to testing ads

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Is this Google Ads training for beginners or advanced users?

Both, but not in the same session. The ClickTrust Academy calendar shows the level of each training, including Google Search Ads Advanced. For a tailored training we agree the level with your team beforehand.

Does the training cover Performance Max?

Yes. You learn how PMax works, how to keep control with asset groups, brand exclusions and the channel report, and when a classic Search campaign is the better choice.

Can we work in our own Google Ads account?

In a tailored training, yes. It's often the fastest way to learn, because you immediately see what can be improved in your own account. In an open training we work with real-world examples.

Is training still worth it with all the automation in Google Ads?

More than ever. Smart Bidding and Performance Max do the heavy lifting, but they steer on the signals you give them: your structure, your keywords, your assets and above all your conversion tracking. Those are the choices you learn to make.
