You're probably looking at the wrong Google Ads metric.
I don't care if your campaign has:
✅ 8% CTR ✅ 10/10 Quality Score ✅ Cheap CPC
If it's not generating profitable leads or sales, none of those numbers matter.
The first thing I check in every Google Ads account isn't CTR.
It's this:
Search Terms.
I've seen businesses spend thousands of dollars because Google matched their ads to searches they never intended to target.
Examples:
❌ Free... ❌ Jobs... ❌ DIY... ❌ "Near another city you don't serve..."
The campaign looked healthy.
The business kept losing money.
Before increasing your budget, spend 10 minutes reviewing your Search Terms report.
You might find the real reason your Google Ads aren't working.
Question: When was the last time you checked your Search Terms report?
