Keyword Quality Score is 8/10
-
Hi,
I have few keywords in my Adwords search campaign with quality score 8/10. When I checked everything is above average like 1>Ad relevance 2> Landing Page Experience 3> Expected click through rate.to
If everything is above average what to improve to get quality score 10/10??
I'm using most of the ad extension
Thanks

Hey Alick300,
Optimizing QS can be a bit of a hassle, but is definitely something that is solvable, and while Roman gave some good tips, I'm going to break down the scoring to hopefully help you get to the bottom of this issue.
While you said there were scores of 8 with all above average, I urge you to double check & screenshot if that is the case. Based on the way QS is calculated (see below), this cannot be the case.
QS calculations in AdWords are, as of the time of writing this, 1 + (Landing Page Experience Value) + (Ad Relevance Value) + (Expected CTR Value).
I have added a table below that breaks down the "Value" for each of these 3 facets.Landing Page Experience
- Above Average - 3.5
- Average - 1.75
- Below Average - 0
Ad Relevance
- Above Average - 2
- Average - 1
- Below Average - 0
Expected Click-Through-Rate
- Above Average - 3.5
- Average - 1.75
- Below Average - 0
So you can see that your score could be average on just CTR or Landing Page Experience and you would get an 8.25 (1+1.75+2+3.5 = 8.25). Google AdWords doesn't show decimals so you would see this value as a rounded 8 in the interface.
If you can re-check the QS values & paste that information here I'd be more than happy to help you further improve the QSs of those keywords!
Hope this helps!

In my opinion get 10/10 is not easy, 8/10 is a very good, based on my experience if you want a better rank you will need to work on A/B test and conversion rate optimization.
which include
- Make experiments with the texts
- Make experiments with the images and media
- Add some video
- Create one keyword Adgroup will increase even more your relevance
The A/B test process to improve your landing can take a month or even more depends on many factors
Other tools that can help you are some video recorder to track your user's behavior.
CrazyEgg for me is the best solution for heat maps but Hotjar offer a better all one solution (heatmaps and video tracking)

Keyword & negative keyword overlap
So I just read your blog on quality score and after reading the negative keyword section I'm a little confused and I need clarification. In that paragraph you mentioned about not overlapping your negative keywords with your active keywords and you used an example of dog food and dog bed. So my question is, if you put the word dog bed into the negative keyword list isn't the word dog the over lap word? Would you ad not show because the word dog is in the active keyword list?

AdGroup by Match Type or by Keyword?
Hi, Will someone please tell me which AdGroup structure makes the most sense? Grouping Keywords by Match Type? i.e. [pizza store], [pizza restaurant], [pizzeria], etc. or by Keywords? i.e. pizza store, "pizza store", [pizza store] We're basically trying to figure out which structure makes the most sense and which will allow us to earn the best quality score. I've heard of people using both strategies. Personally, I think it should be grouped, more often than not, by keyword. This enables one to tailor the ad and landing page to the specific keyword. I am curious to hear some reasons for grouping them the other way. Thanks for your thoughts.

Why is my quality score so low?
I am not sure if this is the best place to ask a PPC question but figured it was worth a shot. I am trying some different keywords around the word "wedding venue" for instance "amazing wedding venue" or "iowa wedding venue". This is the landing page, http://germanhausbarn.com/wedding-venue/ . What I can't figure out is why I am getting 1/10 quality score for most of those keywords. Is there something I am missing?

Which landing page is used to calculate "Landing Page Experience" of a keyword in Adwords?
In Google Adwords, one ad group can have multiple landing pages, yet keywords are shared. So when I look at the keywords, they use one of the landing pages from ads, but which one? Shall we create separate ad groups and set only one landing page per group to avoid this problem? If this is the way then how come landing page is not a shared property like the keywords in ad groups? I hope someone with enough Google Adwords experience can help me here. Thanks,

Adwords quality score is bull?
Is it me or is Google Adwords quality score a load of bull. I use part numbers as my keywords and have virtually the same landing page for each one. The only difference is the order of the paragraphs in my descriptions, the product attributes and the SKU. so why does one part get an 7 and the other a 5? Surely they should be the same?

Keyword domains for AdWords - duplicate content an issue
Hi guys, A client of mine has bought a raft of keyword domains for use in an AdWords campaign. This isn't my area of expertise, hence the question. They have a hosting account which can host an unlimited number of domains. Can they set up the domains with the same content on each site and then use AdWords to drive traffic to the sites? I've suggested they can use rel="canonical" to specify that the preferred site is the main site of the company which should bypass the duplicate content issue. Is this the best way to host the sites or is there a better alternative? Thanks in advance, Brendan.
