The Google Ads Quality Score is based on keyword, ad text and landing page relevance. The key is to have smaller, more targeted ad groups with fewer keywords so we can write more targeted ad text and increase the click-through rates. We also like to have our keywords contained in the landing pages to increase relevancy and conversions.

We write and test new ad text on a continual basis. We use different messaging, different calls-to-action and benefits to see what message gets the highest click-through rate possible. We also test different landing pages to ensure highest conversion rates.

It’s really different for every client. We create settings in the accounts that will show our ads all though out the day. We also pay very close attention to see if we’re hitting our daily budgets.
