• Headline should be clear: Do not waste the space in the headline with some purposeless characters. The headline of the ad is most prominent aspect, so let it carry its weight. There is a 25 character of space to take advantage of ad. You can use it to make as a statement. Use the descriptive headlines that explain your offering product or services. Also, include your company name in the headline of the ad.

Focus on constructing the sentence as a powerful message than with additional promises that every business says. You can even use the location of your business, which will helps to your local customers to find easily.

• Landing pages and ads should match: If you create a PPC that directs to a page, which is irrelevant, when visitors click on it will become waste of your resources. It results lower quality scores in the assessment. This means you are paying more and receiving less exposure when compared with higher scores advertisers. If the landing page you kept for directing from the ad is correct and even you are getting lower scores, decrease the keywords in the ad and keep only matched to your landing page.
