Why use Google Adwords?
1. Target people who are already searching for jobs or have jobs to fill
2. Only pay for it when they click into your website
3. Spend as little or as much as you want from £1 to £1000’s per day
4. Local, regional and global targeting; control where your ad’s are seen
5. Track ROI metrics – see the profit it can bring to you business
