Understanding Quality Scores
Quality scores are essential for determining how relevant a search campaign is to Google. They are calculated based on ad copy relevance, expected click-through rates (CTR), and the landing page experience. Even with a highly relevant site, slow loading times can negatively impact quality scores, affecting overall campaign performance. It's crucial to optimize all elements—from the keywords chosen to the landing page quality—to ensure a high quality score and effective targeting.
