How Does Google Ads Determine Keyword Costs?
Google has many different sources of revenue, but one of their most noticeable is the ads that appear next to search results for specific keywords. How much that keyword costs depends, in part, on how often people search for it — the more people search for a certain keyword, the more expensive it is.
Ad placement is determined by an action system. The combined impact of these two factors will determine if and where your ad is placed on the page when a user searches for your query:
- The maximum bid you specify for the keyword
- The Quality Score that Google has given your ad
These two factors will help Google determine your ad rank. In short, higher bids and higher quality ads win the best placements.
