We’re going to talk a lot about Quality Score,

because it has great bearing on the success of your PPC

campaign.


Quality Score can determine how much you pay for a click and

where your ad appears: effectively

determining campaign success.

The higher your Quality Score,

the lower your click

price (good)

and the higher your ad position

(good).

Score...

it will be hard to fix

your CTR will suffer

your competitors will rank above you

The steps!

Ad Group Architecture


If you still have keywords with a decent Quality

Score, leave them in their ad groups.


Build new ad groups with your poorly-performing

keywords.


Write new ads and bid high!


Click-through tricks


They see your ad (it’s in a high

position)

People click on your ads for two reasons:

Your ad catches their eye (awesome offer, exciting, relevant or

entertaining copy)


Getting your ad to the top of the page

Try “bid popping”.

Bid artificially high on keywords to

get them to positions 2-5. This should increase

your CTR.

You are intending to restructure entirely

It’s seriously unsaveable

If your account is totally wrecked beyond repair,

you may consider starting again with a

new account.

It is almost always best to try to

repair an account, rather than start
