The same goes for if there hasn’t been any changes in months, as Google might review the data and decide that the information provided is not as relevant as it once was.** 3 main factors are used when calculating the overall quality score, and these are: Keywords, Ads, and Landing Page. These are analysed for relevance, search intent, and user experience, and calculated to assign a score of 1-10. Having a good quality score is good for you, cost per click decreases and leads and sales increase, as well as for the user, as they are being served useful ads, and being directed to informative and easy-to-use pages. **Keywords** - Divide your keywords into manageable ad groups of similar themes. - Check on low-performing keywords every few months. If keywords haven’t had a single impression or click in 6 months, then consider pausing them. **Ads** - Try not to repeat the information through too many assets. - Make sure your headlines contain some of the keywords from your ad group. - If your ads have a low CTR, those ads probably haven’t had much relevancy for users. Check your assets and see what headlines and descriptions are in need of an update. **Landing Page** The landing page experience can be split into 2 factors: - Page Speed - User Experience These checks will make sure there is a strong link from keywords to ads to landing page, and provide more relevancy for users. Finding time to audit quality scores on accounts on a regular basis can be tricky, but it is worth it in the long run if you can improve performance for your clients or for yourself.
