The text ads that appear alongside Google search results are just one type of ad format you can create with AdWords. You can also promote your products and services with video ads, image ads, app or digital content ads, and more.
Each ad format has its own benefits, whether it's the ease and affordability of running a text ad, or the colorful storytelling that comes with video. You can run multiple kinds of ads from the same AdWords account and, in some cases, from the same campaign.
