How to Improve Google Ads Quality Score and Reduce CPC

Chances are if you already have Google Ads campaigns, you know the importance of your Quality Score and CPC (Cost Per Click), along with their close relationship. Quality Score is the measurement of how useful and relevant your advert, landing page, and keywords are to your audience, while CPC measures how much each click costs you.

The higher your quality score, the lower your CPC. So how do you improve Google Ads quality score to reduce CPC?

Keyword Relevance

A major influencer of your quality score is how relevant your keywords are to your advert groups, adverts, and landing pages. You need to choose keywords that match user intent, avoiding broad terms that attract unwanted clicks. You can use online tools, such as Google Keyword Planner to research and analyse the best keywords to improve your campaign success and quality score.

High Quality Advert Copy

Another important influencer of your quality score is your click through rate (CTR). This is the percentage of people that click on your advert after seeing it. A high CTR shows your ads are relevant to your audience, while a low CTR shows your ads do not attract enough interests. Write high quality and compelling advert copy with clear call to actions to align with your audiences needs.

A useful tip is to write different versions of your advert copy and test them to identify the best performer.

Landing Page Optimisation

You will want to ensure your landing pages meet your visitors needs and expectations. Good landing pages are easy to navigate, fast loading, and consistent with your adverts. They provide useful and relevant information Landing pages should be optimised for mobile with clear headlines, strong calls to action and engaging content. 

Monitor and Adjust Your Bids as Needed

Finally, you need to focus on your bidding strategy. How to set and adjust your bids for each ad should be based on your budget, competition, and goals. Choosing manual bidding gives you more control over your bids, setting and changing your bids based on performance. Monitoring and adjusting your bids helps you optimise your return on investment.

How Quality Score Impacts CPC

Your quality score on Google Ads can be anywhere from one to ten. The aim is to get as close to ten as possible. Quality score has a direct impact on your CPC. Take a look below:

  1. CPC + 400%
  2. CPC + 150%
  3. CPC + 67.3%
  4. CPC + 25%
  5. Google Ads Benchmark

  7. CPC – 28.7%
  8. CPC – 37.5%
  9. CPC – 44.2%
  10. CPC – 50%

As you can see, improving your Google Ads quality score is essential to reducing CPC and improving your return on investment.
