Most Google advertisers find trying to understanding AdWords Quality Score frustrating.

You’ll be regularly hammering your fist against the table with anger because your score is stuck at 1 or 2 and no matter what you try, you just can’t seem to get it to rise.

But what is AdWords Quality Score, why is it important and how is it calculated?

Understand the answers to these questions and with this newly learned knowledge you’ll be able to improve the Quality Score for all your keywords and save money too.

What is AdWords Quality Score?

Just think about it, what is the purpose of Quality Score?

Google prides its self on providing users with relevant search results to queries. Quality Score is their way to ensure that only the most relevant AdWords ads appear to users.

Why Is Your AdWords Quality Score Important?

The reality is that AdWords calculates a Quality Score for a keyword every time it matches a search query. In general, the higher a keywords Quality Score the lower your bidding costs and the higher the position your ad will appear.

What this means to you is that the higher the Quality Score for your keywords, the less you pay in bids.

How Is AdWords Quality Score Calculated?

If you’re like most people, when you start using AdWords for the first time you might find the way your Quality Score is calculated and keeps changing very confusing.

What is actually happening is that when you create your brand new campaign, Google calculates a provisional Quality Score for each of your keywords based on how the keywords you choose have performed in the past when used by other advertisers and how relevant your ad is to those keywords.

The right thing to do therefore when setting up a new campaign is to divide your keywords into small ad groups of 10 or less closely related keywords. Each ad group should trigger at least one relevant ad that includes within it the most popular keyword in the ad group, ideally in the title and in the first line of the text.

The landing page of your ad should also point to the most closely related page of your web site for those keywords and not your home page.

As you continue advertising, after maybe a few days, the Google AdWords Bot will visit your web site and evaluate it. It’s worth remembering that the Bots evaluation is of your entire web site and not just the landing page for your ad.

Therefore your entire web site or at least a significant amount of the content on it needs to be on the general theme of the keywords you’ve selected.

Now, as your account starts to mature, so the Quality Score of your individual keywords will change based on their performance. If the ad your keywords trigger has a high click-through-rate then it’s likely that your Quality Score will rise, poor click-through-rate and it will probably fall.

What Is Google Actually Looking For?

The actual formula for calculating a keywords Quality Score is a closely guarded secret. However, we do know what Google looks at when making the calculation.

Your AdWords Quality Score is calculated differently depending on if you’re using Google and the search network or the content network.

For Google and the search network, factors used to calculate Quality Score include:)

+ The historical click-through-rate of your keyword and the ad it triggers.

+ The historical click-through-rate of your entire account. The historical click-through-rate of your domain.

+ The quality of your landing page.

+ The relevance of the keywords to the ads in your Adgroup.

+ Your accounts performance in the region you’re targeting.

+ The ads past performance on the target and similar sites.

+ The relevance of your ads and keywords in the ad group to the target site.

+ The quality of your landing page.

The best way to improve your keyword Quality Scores is by optimizing your account. This entails making sure that each of your ad groups contain descriptive ads all advertising the same product or service, and that each keyword in the ad group closely relates to the ads.

As I’m sure you know; when a visitor to your website signs up for your newsletter, buys a product or even fills out a form this is classed as a conversion. The reason you’re probably paying for traffic to your website is to increase your conversions.

It’s important to track your conversions. But why?

Let’s say you’re running a campaign to increase the number of subscribers to your weight loss newsletter. You might be paying $20 per day and getting 100 new subscribers per day – but how do you know these subscribers are coming from AdWords?

By tracking your conversions you can see where the visitor came from and therefore which campaign is performing at its best.

You can also make your campaign more efficient by removing keywords that don’t convert well – thus reducing your costs.

So how do you track conversions in Google AdWords?

It’s really quite simple. All you need to do is setup conversion tracking in AdWords and then copy-and-paste some code into your website.

Let’s get started!

1) Login to your AdWords account

2) Select a campaign you want to setup conversions for

3) Under “Reporting” select “Conversions”

4) Select “+ New conversion”

5) Choose an action name e.g. “newsletter signup” and select a purpose for the conversion e.g. “signup”

6) Your security level for the page will probably be http unless you’re using a secure certificate (SSL)

7) Enter any revenue for the conversion. If it’s a newsletter signup it will probably be zero

You can also change the look of the tracking indicator. Under the terms of the AdWords conversion tracking you must tell the user of your website that you are tracking conversions

9) All you need to do now is copy-and-paste the code produced into the page on your website where the conversion is completed. Personally, I insert the code on the page where the user is taken to once they confirm their email address. That way I know their conversion is 100% complete.

There you go, that’s all there is to is! Now all the clicks that turn into conversions will be tracked on AdWords. This is especially useful for keywords effectiveness.

After a few days of running a campaign, view your keywords for the campaign and sort the keywords in order of clicks. Then look to see how many of those clicks turned into conversions. If there are some keywords that have high clicks but low or even zero conversions, remove them from your campaign. There just wasting you money!
