Quality Score doesn’t determine if you win Google’s Auction
It is a common misconception that a keyword’s Quality Score is what determines whether or not you win a Google Auction. In fact, Ad Rank is the factor that causes you to win or lose an auction and either show up when someone is searching for your service or not. Quality Scores are aggregated estimates of the overall performance of your ads.
Don’t Skip Extensions
When creating your campaign, Google makes it easy to skip setting up extensions. We strongly suggest taking the time to set as many of these up as are relevant to your business. The main benefit of extensions is that they usually improve click-through-rates, without increasing the cost-per-click. Additionally, extensions take up more space on the user’s screen, making their ad more prominent.
Use Negative Keywords
You will spend most of your time in campaigns managing and optimizing your keywords. Even if you spend a ton of time in your account, you may still be seeing non-relevant clicks on your ads. This is where negative keywords come in. Use negative keywords to tell Google which keywords you definitely DON’T want to show up for.
We want to help you reach your marketing goals, and Googel Ads is usually the best tool to achieve that. With the correct strategy and constant optimization, your Google Ads campaigns will be highly successful and bring you the customers you’re looking for.
