Context

What to Analyze

Quality score breakdown:

  • Keywords with quality scores below 5 that are still active
  • Landing page experience ratings across the portfolio
  • Ad relevance scores and expected CTR ratings
  • Quality score trends over time (improving or declining)
  • Historical quality score changes that signal emerging problems

Performance metrics to evaluate:

  • Cost per conversion by keyword
  • Conversion rate compared to campaign averages
  • Click-through rate relative to position
  • Impression share and lost impression share
  • Average CPC trends and bid competitiveness
  • Search impression share lost to rank vs. budget

Match type performance:

  • Broad match keywords with high spend and low relevance
  • Exact match keywords that could be expanded to phrase match
  • Search term reports revealing wasted spend on irrelevant queries
  • Negative keyword opportunities from search term data

Analysis Strategy

  1. Pull all keywords with status, quality scores, and performance data
  2. Segment keywords by quality score tiers (1-3, 4-6, 7-10)
  3. Calculate spend-weighted quality score for overall account health
  4. Identify budget waste: low quality score + high spend + low conversions
  5. Surface hidden gems: high conversion rate + low bid + room to scale
  6. Compare match type performance across the portfolio
  7. Flag keywords with declining quality scores over time
  8. Generate prioritized action list by potential budget impact
