Introduction
If you want to improve your ad’s position, you can increase your bid. If you want to reduce your Cost-Per-Click, you can lower your bid. In general, a higher ad position will result in more clicks, but this isn’t always the case.
What is CPC?
CPC stands for cost-per-click, and is a type of billing that is used in online advertising. With CPC billing, you are only charged when someone clicks on your ad. This type of billing is different from CPM, which charges you based on the number of times your ad is shown.
What is the CPC auction?
The CPC auction is how AdWords shows your ad on Google. In this type of auction, you’re charged based on the max. CPC bid you set for that ad group or keyword multiplied by your Quality Score.
What factors influence my CPC?
The amount you’re willing to pay per click is just one part of your CPC bid, though. Like with any auction, a variety of factors determines your actual CPC.
Some of the elements that can influence your CPC include:
-Ad quality and relevance: Ads that are well-written and relevant to the searcher’s query are more likely to be clicked on, so they may have a lower CPC.
-Competitiveness of your keyword: More competitive keywords may have higher CPCs because there’s more advertiser competition for those terms.
-Your historical performance: If you have a history of strong performance on Google Ads, you may be able to pay less per click and still win your ad position.
How to win a higher ad position
If you want to win a higher ad position in the auction, you can do so by lowering your cost-per-click (CPC) bid. This means that you’ll pay less for each click on your ad, but you’ll still be able to win the auction and get the same ad position.
Quality Score
quality score is the metric used by Google to determine your ad position and ultimately, your cost per click. Quality Score is made up of factors like click-through rate (CTR), relevance of your ad text and landing page to the keyword, and the historical performance of your ad. A high quality score means that your ads are relevant and engaging, which also keeps your costs low.
Ad Relevance
To win a higher ad position, you need to have a high Ad Rank. Ad Rank is determined by your bid amount and the quality of your ad. The quality of your ad is based on a number of factors, but the two most important are clickthrough rate (CTR) and relevance.
Relevance is based on how closely matched your ads and keywords are to what people are searching for. The more relevant your ads and keywords are, the higher your clickthrough rate will be, and the higher your CTR will be. The higher your CTR, the more relevant Google will deem your ad, and the higher your Ad Rank will be.
You can improve your relevance by making sure that your ads and keywords are as closely matched as possible to what people are searching for, and by making sure that your ads are targeted to the right location. You can also improve your relevance by using negative keywords to exclude searches that aren’t relevant to your business.
Landing Page Experience
You can win a higher ad position in the auction with a lower cost-per-click (CPC) bid by improving your “landing page experience.” Landing page experience is based on three factors:
- The relevance and usefulness of your ad and landing page to the person who clicked your ad
- The transparency of your business information
- The usability of your website
