Items they may request include business formation documents, videos or photos of physical business locations, and self identification cards. More information can be found here.
What are Google Search vs. Google Display Ads?
Google Search Ads are text ads that appear above and below organic Google search results and are priced at a cost per click basis.

Display Ads are priced on paid placements that appear based on various targeting parameters.
How much should my Google Ads budget be?
Your Google Ads budget depends on your goals, industry, and competitiveness. Google Search Ads are priced at a cost per click basis, so we recommend budgeting to purchase at least 100 clicks per month for optimal conversion rates. We will gather information from you during our consultation to help define this, and recommend a budget for Google Ads.
