About
Google Ads is Google’s advertising platform, launched in 2000 as Google AdWords and renamed Google Ads in 2018, covering Search, Display, YouTube, and Shopping campaigns. Industry estimates put 2026 Google Ads revenue near $318 billion, with Google holding roughly 80% of the global PPC market and 27% of worldwide digital ad spend — and report that over 1 million advertisers now run Performance Max campaigns across Google’s channels.
AmICited connects directly to Google Ads (on the “From Pro” tier), so paid spend, clicks, and conversions sit next to AI-answer visibility for the same domain — useful for spotting where paid and organic-AI coverage overlap or leave gaps.
