Understand your AdWords account tabs

In this video we'll introduce you to the two main areas of your account: where you manage and monitor your advertising campaigns, and the menu for account settings and support.

The main tabs

• Home: This contains your Account Snapshot page, an easy-to-read summary of important account information.
• Campaigns: Here's where you'll spend most of your time when you're managing your AdWords account. You can create and edit campaigns, ads, keywords, and campaign settings. In the performance summary graphs at the top of the page, you'll see an overview of how your campaigns are performing. You can also download the tables containing your performance metrics as reports.
• Opportunities: Find new keywords, improve your bids and budgets, and more. The Opportunities tab can help you get more out of AdWords — it's an entire section dedicated to helping you improve your campaigns.
• Tools: Find account tools that will help you manage and improve your account. Use advanced reporting tools to locatepotential issues and fix them before they become issues.

The gear menu

• Billing: Enter and change your billing details, see your entire billing history, and print invoices.
• Account settings: Control your personal information, such as your sign-in information and user preferences. If you choose to, you can use this option to invite a friend or colleague to manage your AdWords account.
• Send feedback: Share your comments or suggestions to improve AdWords.
• Help: Find answers to your AdWords questions and information on how to contact us.
