1- Access to Google Ads
On the Google Ads page, click the blue “Start now” button in the upper right corner. Select the e-mail address where you want to register.

2- Login to Gmail
If you already have a Google Account (i.e. if you already use another Google product, such as Gmail), please enter your Google email address and password and click Sign In. But don’t worry, if you don’t have a Gmail yet or want to sign in with a different email address, click the Create Account button at the bottom of the screen and follow the instructions to create and confirm your new Google account.

In this step, Google Ads asks which results you would like to achieve. Then choose the one that best describes your plan, which can be: getting more calls, visits to your store, more online sales, or customer sign-ups.
4- Expert Mode
If you choose Expert Mode, you can define your advertising goal in a little more detail. You can create an advertising campaign immediately, choosing the type of campaign you plan to run in the next step.
