Some digital marketing tools can be complex and misunderstood. How does AdWords work? That’s a question many business owners ask – and too often, they write it off before understanding what it can actually do.
The Assumption
When speaking with potential clients, it’s common to hear requests for marketing strategies that leave AdWords out entirely. The reason? A lack of trust in online ads.
Many people assume that users simply don’t click paid results. But this belief usually stems from gut feeling, not data. It may seem intuitive that people skip ads in favour of organic links, but that overlooks the metrics – and that’s where poor assumptions start costing real business opportunities.
We always begin by helping clients understand how AdWords works, breaking through the myths and grounding strategy in evidence, not emotion.
Why the Assumption Is Inaccurate
Let’s talk facts. Over 96% of Google’s revenue comes from AdWords and AdSense. That alone should tell you that people are clicking. Billions of clicks per year aren’t happening by accident.
More importantly, it’s not the platform that fails – it’s how businesses use it. Budget mismanagement, poor targeting, bad copy, and weak analytics are what sabotage campaigns. How does AdWords work effectively? With the right expertise behind it.
Running a campaign without proper oversight is like flying blind. If your ads aren’t generating leads, the problem likely isn’t AdWords – it’s the strategy behind it.

AdWords continues to be one of the most reliable lead generation tools – when managed correctly. So, what does it take to make it work?
