Google Ads announced that advertisers will now have more control over smart bidding with conversion value rules. Conversion value rules will adjust the value of a given conversion, based upon factors that impact lead quality and value. Conversion value rules allow advertisers to tell Google Ads what factors are most important to them by applying rules. The rules allow advertisers to indicate instances when a conversion is worth more or less than the average conversion, based upon various characteristics of the auction. Having this control will also allow advertisers and smart-bidding algorithms better data to bid and budget more effectively. I highlight:

“Having a few low search volume keywords in your account doesn’t affect account performance. However, if you have a significant number of such keywords, it may affect the Quality Score of the campaign they are in and add unnecessary volume,” explains Geetanjali Tyagi. To help you manage low volume keywords, Tyagi recommends:

  1. Leave the keyword as it is.

  3. Find new keywords.
  4. Pause keywords with a low quality score.
  5. Move keywords to a different campaign.
