Ads that stay within the rules

Some services, like healthcare and aesthetics, have tighter rules on Google. As your PPC agency in Portsmouth, we write ads that stay approved and keep running.

An ad has to be approved to compete

Before an ad can enter any auction, Google reviews it against its policies.

Ads that break a rule are limited or stopped, even with a high bid.

Health, finance and some other services face stricter checks.

We write and check ads with those rules in mind, so they keep competing.

    How Ad Rank is worked out

    Ad Rank = your bid × your Quality Score

    Quality Score is Google's mark out of ten for how useful your ad and your page are to the person searching. It is scored on three things.

    • Expected click-through rateHow likely someone is to click your ad, based on how it has performed before.
    • Ad relevanceHow closely the wording of the ad matches what was actually searched for.
    • Landing page experienceWhether the page they land on is fast, relevant and easy to act on.

    Actually paid per click—£2.68

    They bid £6.00 and came second. You bid £4.00, ranked first, and paid £2.68 for the click, because your ad and your landing page were better. That gap is the whole job.

    Simplified: Google also applies rank thresholds, the context of the search and the expected impact of your ad assets. The mechanic above is the part that decides most auctions.
