Google Ads is changing the way it works. A person who used to work at Google says they are moving away from using keywords to target ads. This means that Google Ads is now focusing more on what people want and using intelligence to understand that.

In the past people who made ads had a lot of control over who saw their ads by using keywords. They could choose words, phrases or broader topics.. Over time Google started using artificial intelligence to help with ads. This includes things like Smart Bidding and tools that understand what people are searching for, not the words they use.

The person who wrote the article says that keywords are not as important as they used to be. Now Google Ads is looking at things like the pages people visit, how people behave and what businesses do. It is also looking at how people search for things like when they ask questions. This is not just happening with Google Ads, it is also happening with artificial intelligence platforms, like ChatGPT and other search engines.

But the article also says that keywords are still useful. When people search for brands using the exact keywords works well.. When people want to find new customers using phrases and broader topics can be helpful. Many people who make ads think that in the future they will use intelligence and keywords together. They do not think keywords will be gone completely.
