Google ADS is a very powerful lead generation channel; With the changes at the digital level caused by a pandemic, this platform has become more popular.
Google has made great efforts to simplify its use but it is still necessary to have extensive knowledge before entering it because otherwise the economic losses can be considerable, and for this one of the first steps at a technical level is to know one of its main metrics, the CTR.
The CTR in Google ADS is the number of clicks on the number of impressions, for example if your ad was shown 50 times and 2 people clicked, then the CTR for this campaign would be 4%.
Google is a search engine and its main function is for people to quickly find what they are looking for, in commercial terms Google wants buyers and sellers to connect easily, so if a website appears many times with certain searches but does not generate clicks, bots Google understands that this ad is not relevant.
Google ADS charges per click, the cost of each click and the ad position varies by the quality score of each keyword. which in turn is measured by three metrics: Destination Page Exp, Ad Relevance and Previous CTR.
In that order of ideas, if the CTR is low, it in turn damages the quality level, and when this metric is affected, the cost per click rises, that is, the campaign becomes more expensive.
A LOW CTR COSTS MONEY !!!!, and is a very visible indicator to denote an inappropriate Google ADS campaign.
This question does not have a single answer, since for display campaigns the CTR is usually a little lower while for Search campaigns it can be a little better; Really the way to determine if a CTR is low or high is by reviewing the previous CTR metric that affects the quality level of each keyword, since here it breaks down in more detail how our CTR is compared to the competition.
Now if what you want is a value, in our experience a CTR lower than 7% in a search campaign is low, this only applies to some campaigns.
And here the million dollar question how to raise the CTR, there are really many things that can be done here I will list some.
1. Add negative keywords.
2. Improve the relevance of your ads.
3. Review and optimize the agreement of the keywords.
