Diagnose your campaigns by monitoring quality scores, impression share, and average position, adjusting bids where performance is strongest. Evaluate landing pages alongside bidding, as a relevant and high-converting landing page improves Quality Score and can lower cost-per-click. Use geo-targeting, ad scheduling, and device targeting to restrict spend to your most responsive audiences and times, further stretching limited budgets.
