58. What’s Your
Quality Score?
Know where
you’re starting from.
Quality Score has a huge
impact on your campaign
economics. It’s critical that
your higher spend terms
have the highest possible
Quality Scores - and that
your account overall has a
high Quality Score.

How many of your
keywords have a Quality
Score of 1, 2, 3… 10?

• Break those terms into their own Ad Groups if needed
• Apply Match Type recommendations to help reduce waste & increase CTR
