Google Ads Campaign Optimization requires continuous monitoring and comprehensive analysis of ads data. Ad platforms like Google offer features and guidelines for budget controlling and cost optimization via metrics such as Ads Rank, Ads Rank Thresholds, and Quality scores by keyword/search term. The ad specialist utilizes these metrics to improve Ads Impression, Click-Through Rates (CTR), and Average Cost of Sales (ACOS). However, data provided by Google is inadequate and lacks visibility on competitors and their Ads contents like Title, Landing URL, Price and Ads extensions like Review & Ratings, Shipping Labels, and various TAGs. Higher the quality of these ad contents, better the quality scores and lower the advertising cost. Hence it is vital to have this insight.

How does Google decide on Ad Position?
Per Google “Ad Rank is a value used to determine your ad position (where ads are shown on a page relative to other ads) and whether your ads will show at all”. This rank is calculated from your max bid amount and factors such as ad quality, expected CTR, the context of searches like location, device, time of the search, other ads, search results, user signals/attributes, nature of search terms, landing page experience, position, competitiveness, expected impact of ads extensions and others.
How does Google calculate the actual cost per click?
Google calculates the actual cost per click based on Quality Score & Ad Rank. This implies that you can spend less on CPC to win First Rank Position. The actual CPC Advertiser’s ranking for the keywords is calculated as:
Your Price = The Ads Rank Of The Advertiser Below You/ Your Quality Score + 0.01
The metrics provided by Google are vague and lack the details required by ads specialists to boost Ad Performance.
