Showing ads related to your search

We have always believed it's important for everyone -- regardless of income or education -- to have access to the best information, and ads help us do that.

While advertisers can pay and be displayed in clearly marked ad sections, no one can buy better placement in the Search results.

We only sell ads, not search results

When you use Google Search, ads may appear with your search results. We think it’s important to be transparent about these, which is why ads are clearly labeled, so they are easy to distinguish from the rest of the page.

Advertisers, partners or anyone with a financial relationship with Google gains no special advantages or treatment in Search results. They are not given ranking boosts. If they have issues, they must use the same free tools and resources that we provide to everyone.

All our advertising and sponsored content is clearly labeled (e.g. "Ad"; "Sponsored") so that they are easily distinguishable from Search results.
