According to Google, the best certification is the **Advanced Ads certification.** The reason behind this is because it covers all of the aspects of managing ads using Google Ads, including setting budgets and creating campaigns. The Google Ads certification is available in two levels: *Basic and Advanced*. The *Basic level* includes topics like targeting, bidding, scheduling, conversions and more. The *Advanced level* offers more in-depth coverage of these topics as well as advanced reporting features. The *Advanced level* is recommended for marketers who want to learn more about how Google Ads works and how they can use it effectively. If you’re not sure which certification is best for your needs, it’s a good idea to take both tests so that you get a better understanding of what each offers before choosing one over another. Google Ads provides two certifications: ***Google Ads Certified Professional (GACP) and Google Ads Certified Account Manager (GCAM).*** *GACP* is a more basic certification that applies to those who are just getting started with Google Ads. It covers everything from setting up your first campaign to analyzing performance data. A GACP badge tells people that you have some experience with Google Adwords, but it doesn't provide much more than that. *GCAM* goes further by providing more advanced information about how to manage ads, optimize campaigns, use third-party tools and so on. Those who have earned this certification have been trained in using all of these advanced features.
