Hello friends,

What is the possible impact of Ad Rank on Cost per Click?

[harshithaasin]

Ad ranking in Internet marketing is the position of a pay-per-click (PPC) ad on a search engine results page (SERP). The position of this ad depends on the position of each keyword included in the ad, which is determined by your bid for that keyword or ad group multiplied by the matched keyword's Quality Score.

After you set up a campaign, Google assigns you an AdRank based on three criteria: the amount of your CPC bid, the site’s Quality Score, and the Ad Extensions, which are now required. The higher your Quality Score, the lower you have to pay in CPC to rank at the top of the SERP. Quality Score depends on your click through rate (CTR) along with subjective metrics, especially the user experience of your landing page and how relevant your page is to the keywords you’ve chosen. Each component mentioned above, along with strategies to improve your score, deserves its own webinar.

Before Google implemented quality scores for search advertising, Google searches were overrun with irrelevant ads that linked to sites with little content. Any marketer could bid on nearly any term and show in the paid results and placement was simple: higher CPC bids equalled higher ad rank. This created an overall poor search experience for the user. Google eventually improved ad quality by being the first search engine to assign quality scores, which attempt to measure ad relevance.

Your actual cost-per-click (CPC): Higher quality ads can often lead to lower CPCs. That means you pay less per click when your ads are higher quality. Ad position: Higher quality ads often lead to higher ad positions, meaning they can show up higher on the page.

If your Quality Score is high, then your ads will rank higher at a lower cost-per-click. However, if your Quality Score is low, you'll need to bid a much higher cost-per-click in order to achieve a higher ad rank. The easiest way to improve your Quality Score is by improving your click-through rate.

Put simply, your cost-per-click (CPC) on Google Ads is the amount you're paying for each individual click to your advertisement. There are a number of factors that affect your CPC, including your targeting criteria, keywords, the text of the ad, the landing page, the maximum bid you've set, and more.
