How to read this data

How to read conversion rate?

On Search, conversion rises with intent. It's high on brand and high-intent queries, low on broad/discovery ones. Compare by campaign type.

Why is Quality Score critical?

A higher Quality Score means lower CPC for the same position and better impression share. Relevance, expected CTR and landing page experience drive it.

Reading ROAS correctly

ROAS only means something with margin. 4x ROAS can be insufficient on a low-margin product; set target ROAS against profit reality.

Why does data quality matter?

Without enhanced conversions and correct value attribution, the algorithm scales on wrong signals. Clean conversion data often matters more than budget.

Who is this for?

  • E-commerce brands selling via Google Ads
  • Sellers using Shopping and Performance Max
  • Teams measuring ad efficiency
  • Those testing new campaign types

How to improve

Strengthening conversion tracking

Set up enhanced conversions, send accurate conversion values and separate micro-conversions. Clean data fuels smart bidding.

Feed and PMax quality

The fuel for Shopping and PMax is the product feed. Optimizing titles, images and attributes directly boosts visibility and conversion.

Cutting waste

Use the search terms report to remove irrelevant queries, keep negative lists fresh and trim low-performing segments.

Common mistakes

  • Incomplete conversion tracking
  • Running PMax with a weak feed
  • Setting target ROAS without margin
  • Never reviewing the search terms report
  • Mixing brand and generic queries in one campaign
