When it comes to pay-per-click (PPC), it’s often best to call in the experts. But sometimes even experts need to be put to the test.

Google AdWords questions to ask your PPC expert

1. How will you manage the Google Quality Score?

Google’s Quality Score is based on three things: keyword, ad text and landing page relevance. To maintain the highest score possible, it’s best to use fewer keywords and use smaller, targeted ad groups. That way, we can write more targeted copy that will more likely find its niche. PPC experts should be very familiar with Quality Scores, how they work and how to improve yours. (And sometimes, you may not want to focus on Quality Score.)

2. Can you explain how the Google auction works?

The auction process goes like this:

When a user enters a search, AdWords pulls all the ads whose keywords match that particular search.
From the ads, any that aren’t eligible, such as ads that target a different country or have been disapproved, will be ignored.
From the ads remaining, only those with a high enough Ad Rank will show results.
It’s a crucial stage of your campaign, so make sure anyone involved with it knows the process and how to get the most out of it.

3. How does Ad Rank affect cost per click (CPC)

When it comes to CPC (the actual amount you’re charged per click), the most you will end up paying is the minimum amount required to hold your ad position. In the Search Network, ads that appear above the search results generally have a higher CPC than those that appear below the results.
