Reviewx What is Quality Score?
A great diagnostic tool for your AdWords account health. But not a good KPI.
Ad rank is: Max Bid, Quality Score, & Ad Extensions
Quality Score is made up of three factors: Expected CTR, Ad Relevance, Landing Pages.
● Expected CTR has a strong correlation between average CPCs and financial impact
● Ad Relevance has a partial correlation between its factors & CPCs
● Landing Pages have a weak correlation between their factors & CPCs
Why is Quality Score so important?
Quality Score influences everything Google and it will affect your budget.
AdWords is made of three factors: Quality Score, Ad Rank and CTR
Quality Score has a huge impact on Ad Rank (~40%)
How can you influence Quality Score?
Many ways but the key strategies that make the “Google Wheel of Goodness” go are:
● Exact match strategy
● Single keyword ad groups
● Building leverage behind each bid
● Attribution modeling as a strategy
How can you analyze and increase your Quality Score?
Understand your campaign organization and through ad testing.
