Frequently Asked Questions
What does Adwords do?
Google Adwords places and positions adverts in front of individuals who have either specifically looked for your service, visit sites that are related to your services, or who have been identified as interested in your areas of expertise. We therefore target search phrases users use when they look on Google, or categories of interest.

How successful is Google AdWords?
Google Adwords can be exceptionally valuable to a business at any stage of its’ development, ensuring that desirable products and services are promoted to those in need of what you provide.

How does Adwords work?
When you perform a search, Google runs two searches. One for the ‘Best Organic Results’, and one for the most suitable ‘Advertised Results’.
The Advertisement results use several different metrics and factors to determine where an advert appears. These are Your Maximum Bid, the relevance of the advert and landing page to the search performed, the ‘click through rate’ of the advert and keyword, the time, day, and schedules, the device, available budget, other advertisers and several other factors.
When someone clicks on an advert the position you achieve and the cost is then calculated.

How do you reduce average CPC?
Keep your QS high. Average CPC can be reduced by remembering that the amount paid (Actual CPC) for a click is determined by several factors, only one of which is your maximum CPC. The CPC (that you pay) is the least required to achieve a ranking position higher than the next lowest ad.
There is no defined amount that is determined as correct CPC. It is all driven by market competitor bidding, factored in by your relevance and Quality Score.
Your Quality Score, multiplied by your CPC gives you your Ad Rank.. Advertisers with higher Ad ranks go higher. … So if you bid £10.00 with an QS of 10, your Ad Rank is 10000.. So if your competitor has a QS of 5, his is only 5000, so has to bid £20 for the same Ad rank.
How can I increase Adwords Quality Score?
Quality Score is calculated on numerous factors from relevance of keyword, ad and landing page to the Click Through Rate of the keyword.

Remarketing is a method by which a business owner can pro-actively reach out to users who have already visited their site.
