Google Ads Strategy 2025: 16 Tips For Quality B2B Lead Generation

Marketing
November 22, 2024
0 min read

Google Ads remains one of the most powerful sources for B2B lead generation. Its ability to target the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) based on search behavior is incredible. However, reaching the right audience takes more than just setting up a campaign to see results. 

With evolving buyer behavior in 2025, B2B marketers must update their Google Ads strategy. These strategies should focus on the right keywords, bidding strategies, and ad formats.

This article will discuss the top Google Ads strategies for B2B marketing in 2025. These strategies will focus on driving ICP traffic and increasing ad performance to maximize lead-generation efforts.

TL;DR

  • Google Ads remains an essential tool for B2B lead generation. It allows marketers to target the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) through search behavior. 
  • Key strategies for 2025 include refining audience segmentation and campaigns tailored to the buyer’s journey stages (awareness, consideration, and decision) to optimize lead quality. 
  • Additionally, focusing on industry-specific keywords and using A/B testing will help improve ad performance and ROI.

What is B2B Google Ads

When you use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) as a paid advertising strategy to promote your business or services from one business to another (business-to-business), this is known as B2B Google Ads. B2B Google Ads focuses on attracting and engaging other businesses with goals to generate leads or drive brand awareness.

Unlike B2C (business-to-consumer) marketing, which focuses on individual consumers, B2B Google Ads campaigns target the decision-makers. These can be executives, managers, and founders responsible for purchasing products or services for their organizations.

B2B Google Ads Strategy Can Be Complex. Here’s Why.

1. Longer Sales Cycle 

In B2C, customers often make quick purchase decisions. B2B sales cycles are typically longer and more intricate. As a result, campaigns need to nurture leads over an extended period.

2. Multiple Decision Makers

B2B purchases often involve multiple stakeholders within a company. Reaching the right people at the right time with the right message can be challenging. To influence these decision-makers, you need highly targeted ads with personalized copy.

3. Complexity of Target Audience

In B2B marketing, the target audience is more segmented and more specific. You target C-level executives, managers, or department heads who can be your key decision-makers. With Google Ads, you target people based on their job titles, which can be helpful for highly targeted campaigns. You can target specific industries (e.g., healthcare, technology, or finance) and company sizes (e.g., small businesses vs. enterprises) to ensure the right type of business is seeing the ad. Or you could focus on specific regions, countries, or cities where your potential clients are based.

For example, a marketing workflow automation product might target marketing directors at companies with over 500 employees in the e-commerce industry within Virginia, USA. 

4. Higher Competition And Budget Allocation

In many B2B industries, the competition can be high, especially for high-value keywords. Bidding for these keywords can become expensive. To ensure a good return on investment (ROI), you must be careful about budget management and continuously optimize for ad performance.

5. The Focus on Lead Generation

B2B campaigns mainly focus on lead generation rather than direct sales. You must structure your campaigns to collect contact information or sign up for a trial/demo. It requires effective use of ad extensions, such as lead forms and optimized landing pages tailored to collect leads.

Why is B2B Google Ads Strategy Complex?

How to Build a B2B Google Ads Strategy?

Here are the five essential steps to build an effective Google Ads strategy that generates high-quality leads consistently.

How to Build a B2B Google Ads Strategy

1. Set Clear and Measurable Goals

You must know what you want to achieve by running an ad campaign. To improve campaign performance, set measurable goals, such as the number of leads, cost per lead, or return on ad spend. Common B2B goals can be to raise brand awareness, generate more leads, or get prospects to sign up for free trials or product demos.

For example, ‘Increase website traffic by 30% within the next month’ and ‘Secure 50 free trial sign-ups within the next 2 weeks’ can be some of your goals. 

2. Identify Your Target Audience

Define the characteristics of your ideal customer persona: the industry, job title, company size, and geographic location.

3. Keyword Research and Selection

Identify highly relevant keywords with the right search volume and intent. These can be long-tail, high buyer intent, solution-oriented, or niche keywords.

4. Write Compelling Ad Copy

Your ads should directly address the pain points and should be solution-focused. It should highlight how your product or service can solve the problem. For example, ‘2X your LinkedIn Ads ROI with LinkedIn AdPilot.’

5. Set up Conversion Tracking

Conversion Tracking in Google Ads tracks valuable actions like lead form submissions, phone calls, or downloads. It measures the effectiveness of the campaigns and helps you make data-driven decisions.

16 Tips For an Effective B2B Google Ads Strategy and How To Measure Them

1. Refine Your Audience Segmentation

Audience segmentation makes sure your ads reach the right audience. Instead of basic demographic targeting, you can use Google’s audience features like Custom Intent Audiences, Customer Match, and In-Market Segments. These tools can segment your audience by behavior, interests, or intent. It enables you to target users actively researching or planning to purchase solutions like yours. It increases the chances of conversion.

Metrics to Track:

  • Conversion Rate
  • Click Through Rate
  • Cost per Conversion

How to Measure:

Use Google Ads' audience reports to track performance across different segments, such as Custom Intent, Customer Match, and In-Market Audiences. Test and refine your audience targeting based on conversion performance.

2. Segment Campaigns by Buyer’s Journey Stages

B2B sales cycles are long. You need a strategy to cover the entire sales funnel. Create separate campaigns for awareness, consideration, and decision-making stages. Prospects in the awareness stage will require different messaging than those in the consideration or decision stages. Personalizing ads based on the buyer’s journey ensures the messaging aligns with their needs. 

Create separate campaigns or ad groups for each stage of the buyer’s journey—awareness (informational content), consideration (product demos, features), and decision (pricing, CTA to book a consultation).

Segment Campaigns by Buyer’s Journey Stages

Metrics to Track:

  • Conversion Rate per Stage
  • Cost per Lead
  • CTR

How to Measure:

Segment campaigns based on the buyer's journey (awareness, consideration, decision). Track performance for each stage using separate ad groups and monitor the CTR and conversion rate to ensure the message resonates.

3.  Incorporate Thought Leadership Content and Run Educational Campaigns

B2B buyers need information to educate themselves before purchasing a product or service. Content Marketing plays a significant role in this process. Create campaigns that promote whitepapers, case studies, or blog posts to establish authority. Use lead magnets to capture leads early in the sales funnel, then nurture them through targeted follow-up ads that provide educational content.

Metrics to Track:

  • Leads Generated
  • Engagement Metrics
  • Conversion Rate for Lead Magnets

How to Measure:

Set up Conversion Tracking to capture leads from educational content like whitepapers or case studies. Monitor the engagement (clicks, downloads, form submissions) and analyze how these leads convert.

4. Leverage LinkedIn Audience Targeting with Google Ads

Use LinkedIn’s audience targeting features with your Google Ads campaigns to reach a particular, professional audience. Build custom audiences (segments) based on user behavior, e.g., users who have visited your LinkedIn page or engaged with your posts. Upload your existing customer data on both LinkedIn and Google Ads. Once you’ve reached your audience on LinkedIn, you can retarget them with remarketing ads on Google when they search for relevant keywords, ensuring you're engaging prospects across multiple touchpoints.

Segment Insights’ on Factors is a feature designed to enhance go-to-market (GTM) strategies by focusing on segment performance rather than just channel metrics. It provides insights about how these audience segments engage with various marketing channels.

Conduct a competitive analysis and identify keywords that reflect competitors’ offerings or positions. Target these keywords with ads that highlight your product's unique selling points.

While Google Analytics can provide these insights, Factors offers customizable attribution models, such as First Click Attribution, Time Decay Attribution, and account intelligence, to suit specific business needs.

Metrics to Track:

  • Keyword Performance (CTR, Conversion Rate, CPC)
  • Search Query Report

How to Measure

Regularly review Search Query Reports and adjust your keyword list. 

10. Create Custom Landing Pages

Create a dedicated landing page for a specific ad or campaign to ensure the content is highly relevant to the user’s search intent. 

For example, if your Google Ads campaign targets ‘marketing automation software for small businesses,’ the landing page should specifically address that topic and showcase how your product solves problems for small business owners.

Metrics to Track

  • Bounce Rate
  • Conversion Rate
  • A/B Test Results

  • Quality Score, CTR
  • Ad Relevance

In Google Ads, use remarketing lists to group users based on their behavior on your website. You can create different lists for various stages in the buyer’s journey. 
For example, with this list, segment users who visited your pricing page but didn’t request a demo and create a specific remarketing campaign with targeted messaging such as ‘Still Considering? Let’s Talk.’

Metrics to Track

  • Remarketing Conversion Rate
  • Cost per Remarketing Conversion

How to Measure

Use Remarketing Lists in Google Ads and monitor how well these segments convert using Conversion Tracking.

14. Make Device Bid Adjustments 

User behavior varies across each device (e.g., desktop, mobile, or tablet). In Google Ads, you can modify bids based on your device. With Bid adjustments, you can allocate budgets based on performance. For instance, if you find that desktop users convert at a higher rate than mobile users, you can increase your bid for the desktop by 20% to drive more clicks from desktop users.

Zapier vs. Make: Which Is The Better Business Automation Platform?

Compare
November 22, 2024
0 min read

Automation tools have become indispensable for businesses today, streamlining repetitive tasks and creating more efficient workflows. Among the popular platforms are Zapier and Make (formerly known as Integromat). Both platforms offer significant automation capabilities, allowing businesses to integrate various applications and systems, but they serve different purposes and come with different strengths. 

Let us show you a detailed comparison that will help businesses choose the right tool depending on their needs, budget, and workflow complexity.

TL;DR

  • Zapier and Make are powerful automation platforms that help you eliminate manual work by connecting apps and automating workflows. 
  • Zapier is known for its user-friendly interface and is best suited for straightforward, linear workflows, while Make shines when dealing with more complex, branched, or conditional workflows. 
  • However, businesses using Factors can skip the need for either tool, as Factors provides built-in integrations and workflow automation, consolidating everything in one platform. 
  • This eliminates dependencies on third-party services, giving businesses more control and efficiency in managing data and automation.

Automation in Business

The growth of digital tools for businesses has led to a higher demand for automation. Automation platforms such as Zapier and Make allow businesses to connect apps without the need for programming knowledge, enabling them to:

  • Reduce repetitive tasks.
  • Improve operational efficiency.
  • Enhance collaboration across teams.
  • Save time by automating routine processes.

With thousands of available app integrations, both tools can help businesses of all sizes manage operations by connecting apps like Google Sheets, Gmail, Slack, Trello, and hundreds more. However, several key considerations must be made when choosing between Zapier and Make.

Platform Overview

Zapier

Zapier, founded in 2011, is one of the pioneers in business automation. It connects over 6,000 apps to create automated workflows called "Zaps." The platform excels in creating simple, linear workflows where one action in an app (the "trigger") causes another action in a different app (the "action"). For example, you can set up a Zap that triggers when a new email arrives in Gmail and automatically adds a task to Trello or sends a message on Slack.

Make 

Make (formerly known as Integromat), launched in 2012, is another well-known automation platform. Make's workflows, known as "Scenarios," allow for more complex automation, including conditional logic, branching paths, and multi-step processes. The platform provides a visual workflow editor that offers a comprehensive overview of how data moves between apps. While Make supports 1,000+ apps, it enables more flexibility and control over workflows than Zapier.

Core Features

User Interface and Ease of Use

Zapier

Zapier’s strength lies in its simplicity. The platform features a clean, straightforward interface that makes it easy for non-technical users to create automated workflows. Even if you’ve never set up automation, you can create Zaps in a few minutes. You simply choose a trigger, specify the action and your Zap is ready. For businesses that need to automate basic tasks, Zapier’s simplicity is one of its primary selling points.

Make

Make, on the other hand, uses a more visual interface. It allows users to build complex workflows through a flowchart-style editor. While the interface may seem intimidating for beginners, it offers far more control over workflows, especially for advanced users. Make’s visual editor lets you create non-linear workflows, use filters, handle data manipulation, and add multiple actions within a single scenario. Make's interface is more suitable for users who require conditional logic and branching paths.

Automation Flexibility

Zapier

Zapier is excellent for simple automation. It works well when you need a trigger to lead to one or more actions in a straightforward, linear fashion. For example, a Zap can take information from a Google Form submission and add it to Google Sheets while sending a Slack message. However, it has limitations in building advanced workflows requiring complex conditions and multiple branches.

Make

Make allows for far more flexibility in automating workflows. Its flowchart-based interface lets you connect multiple apps, add conditional logic, and build multi-step scenarios with advanced filters. For example, you can set up a workflow where a specific condition in one app leads to different actions depending on the data. Make's ability to process data, handle loops, and branch into multiple workflows makes it suitable for advanced automation​.

Pricing and Plans

Zapier Pricing

Zapier offers a free plan for users needing basic automation, which includes 100 monthly tasks and the ability to create five single-step Zaps. If you need more, the paid plans start at $19.99 per month (billed annually) for 750 tasks and multi-step Zaps. The cost increases significantly as you require more advanced features, such as conditional logic. High-volume users and businesses with complex workflows may need to move up to the Professional or Team plans, which can range from $49 to $299 per month, depending on task volume and team size.

Make Pricing

Make also offers a free plan, which includes 1,000 operations (tasks) per month with the ability to create unlimited scenarios. The Core plan, which starts at $9 per month, provides 10,000 operations and access to more advanced features, including multi-step scenarios and complex workflows. Higher-tier plans are available for businesses with more significant automation needs, offering up to 800,000 monthly operations at a starting price of $299​.

Which is More Cost-Effective?

Make’s pricing is generally more competitive, especially for businesses needing complex workflows or a higher volume of operations. For businesses requiring advanced automation with conditional logic and more integrations, Make offers better value at a lower price point. Zapier, on the other hand, becomes more expensive when you need multi-step Zaps and higher task volumes.

Integrations and App Support

Zapier Integrations

Zapier boasts over 6,000 supported apps, covering everything from CRMs to communication tools, eCommerce platforms, and project management systems. This makes it one of the most versatile automation tools on the market. With integrations for popular tools like Slack, Salesforce, and Google Workspace, businesses can connect almost any application they use to automate their processes.

Make Integrations

Make supports 1,000+ apps, which is fewer than Zapier, but it makes up for this with more complex and advanced integrations. While the number of integrations is lower, Make’s flexibility in building custom workflows often results in deeper integrations with these apps. For instance, Make’s integration with Google Sheets allows for data transformations and complex formulas, which may require custom coding in Zapier​.

Advanced Features

Both platforms offer advanced features like multi-step automation, data filtering, and error handling. However, Make is better suited for businesses requiring more sophisticated automation.

Zapier vs. Make: Which to Choose?

When to Choose Zapier

  • Ease of Use

Zapier is perfect for users who need quick, simple automation without delving into complex workflows. Its interface is easy for small businesses and teams needing basic app-to-app integrations.

  • App Integrations

If you require a tool with many integrations, especially for mainstream apps, Zapier’s 6,000+ app library is ideal.

  • Minimal Setup Time

Zapier’s pre-built templates and user-friendly interface make it the right choice for businesses that need to set up automation quickly and with minimal learning time.

When to Choose Make

  • Complex Workflows

If your business needs automation workflows with multiple conditions, branching logic, or data transformations, Make’s flexibility makes it the better choice.

  • Cost Efficiency

For businesses with high automation needs (i.e., over 10,000 operations a month), Make offers more cost-effective plans than Zapier.

  • Visual Workflow Building

Make’s flowchart-style interface is ideal for users who prefer to visualize their workflows and see how data moves through different steps.

Limitations of Zapier and Make

Zapier’s Limitations

  • Limited Workflow Customization

While Zapier excels at simple automation, it cannot handle complex, multi-step workflows with conditional logic, making it less ideal for advanced users.

  • Cost

For businesses needing multi-step automation or high volumes of tasks, Zapier’s costs can add up quickly.

Make’s Limitations

  • Steep Learning Curve

While Make offers more flexibility, beginners may find it difficult to grasp the platform’s more advanced features, particularly when dealing with complex workflows.

  • Smaller App Ecosystem

While Make supports various apps, it doesn’t offer the same breadth of integrations as Zapier, especially for niche tools.

Factors.ai: A Better Alternative to Zapier and Make

While both Zapier and Make offer powerful automation features, businesses can avoid the complexity of relying on external tools by opting for an all-in-one solution like Factors.ai. With Factors.ai, you get:

  • Built-in Integrations

There is no need to connect external apps via third-party services. Factors integrates seamlessly with popular B2B marketing and business tools, enabling you to access all your data in one place.

Factors allows you to build and execute custom workflows directly within the platform. You won’t need Zapier’s linear workflows or Make’s complex scenarios because Factors empowers you to automate your processes internally, based on your business logic, and without coding expertise.

  • Centralized Data Management

Factors brings all your data into one platform, which can be analyzed, reported, and acted upon without setting up multiple external automation systems. This ensures better data governance, quicker insights, and a unified approach to managing data across teams.

Additionally, Factors.ai provides advanced features to enhance your workflow automation:

It removes dependencies and ensures smoother data flow and control, which is crucial for growing businesses that don’t want to juggle multiple tools.

The Future of Automation

Automation has evolved from a niche capability to a cornerstone of modern business operations. Tools like Zapier and Make have empowered millions of users worldwide, showcasing the immense value of streamlined workflows. However, as businesses grow and their needs become more complex, solutions like Factors.ai offer an alternative by providing more integrated and tailored automation capabilities.

Why might businesses complement or transition from third-party automation tools like Zapier and Make?

  • Growing Shift Toward Native Integrations
    Platforms like Factors are now designed with built-in automation capabilities, enabling businesses to achieve more seamless connections without always needing external tools.
  • Enhanced Data Security and Governance
    With data housed on a unified platform, businesses can maintain tighter control over workflows and ensure compliance without the additional layers of complexity.

    By reducing reliance on multiple tools, businesses can streamline their operations and focus on what matters—leveraging a single platform for data management, automation, and analytics.

This approach doesn’t replace tools like Zapier and Make; it complements their vision by addressing the growing demand for holistic and scalable solutions in today’s evolving landscape.

In a Nutshell

When choosing between Zapier and Make, the decision ultimately comes down to business needs, workflow complexity, and budget. Zapier is ideal for businesses needing simple, linear automation with many app integrations. It is user-friendly, quick to set up, and perfect for teams looking for hassle-free automation without needing complex workflows. On the other hand, Make is the go-to solution for businesses requiring flexibility, complex logic, and the ability to handle more advanced scenarios. Its flowchart-based interface allows users to visualize every step of the automation process, making it an excellent choice for those needing more granular control over their workflows.

However, businesses using Factors can bypass the need for either Zapier or Make altogether. With Factors.ai, you can access native integrations, custom workflows, and data management tools all in one platform. This makes automation more seamless, efficient, and less dependent on external tools. Factors provides businesses with greater control, security, and operational efficiency by keeping everything under one roof, making it an attractive alternative to third-party automation platforms like Zapier and Make.

FAQs

Side-by-Side Comparison between Leadfeeder and LeadLander

Leadfeeder Overview

Leadfeeder is an intuitive lead generation software designed to track website visitors and identify the companies they work for. By leveraging company details from IP addresses, Leadfeeder helps businesses understand who is visiting their website, what pages they interact with, and how long they stay. These insights allow companies to personalize their marketing and sales efforts more effectively.

Key Features of Leadfeeder

  1. Company Identification: Leadfeeder tracks the IP addresses of companies visiting your website. This is especially useful in B2B environments, as it gives insights into companies' interest in your services or products. Unlike other platforms, Leadfeeder goes beyond just showing the traffic; it identifies organizations and their potential interest-based on-site engagement.
    Pro: Helps to narrow down anonymous visitors to specific companies, enhancing targeted marketing.
    Limitation: It doesn’t provide personal data about the individuals visiting the site unless they’ve voluntarily submitted their information, making it less effective for B2C tracking.
  2. CRM and Marketing Tool Integrations: Leadfeeder integrates smoothly with major CRM systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, and marketing tools like Mailchimp. This integration ensures that lead data flows seamlessly between marketing and sales departments, which can drastically improve your team's follow-up processes.
    Pro: Excellent for streamlining lead nurturing processes.
    Limitation: Depending on the CRM platform you use, the depth of integration might be limited, requiring additional manual input.

  4. Custom Reporting and Google Analytics Integration: Leadfeeder’s ability to generate tailored reports and integrate with Google Analytics offers users comprehensive data insights. You can segment your visitors by criteria such as behavior, company size, or industry, allowing marketing teams to target campaigns more effectively.

  • Comprehensive CRM Integrations: Supports multiple CRMs, allowing for a more fluid sales process.
  • Real-Time Alerts: Enables sales teams to respond promptly to potential leads.

  • Limited Personal Data: Since Leadfeeder identifies companies, not individual visitors, it can be easier to directly engage with specific people if they opt in through other channels (e.g., contact forms).
  • Analytics Dependence: Heavy reliance on Google Analytics integration can be limiting for teams unfamiliar with GA.

User Interface and Experience

Leadfeeder offers a simple user interface that is well-suited for beginners and marketing teams with basic technical expertise. Its dashboard provides easy access to important data like the number of visitors, pages viewed, and companies that visited. The setup is quick, and integrations like Google Analytics and CRMs provide instant value.

LeadLander Overview

Like Leadfeeder, LeadLander provides visitor tracking capabilities but is known for its more comprehensive data analytics. It enables businesses to track website visitors and measure user interactions better to understand the potential leads' behavior on the website. LeadLander breaks down traffic by page views and visit duration, offering more granular details on visitor engagement.

However, the platform’s advanced reporting and visitor tracking tools make it a powerful enterprise option.

Integrations and Compatibility

While LeadLander offers CRM integration, it does not integrate with Google Analytics, which might be a downside for teams that heavily rely on Google's tools for traffic analysis. However, it compensates by offering more in-depth data on visitor behavior, which can be useful for sales outreach.

Pricing Models and Value for Money

LeadLander, on the other hand, tends to have a higher price point, which is private on their website. According to user feedback on platforms like G2, LeadLander is generally more expensive but offers detailed data tracking and insights suitable for larger enterprises.

You’ve set up your marketing strategy and developed great content, but your execution still falls short. What’s the issue?

You need to improve your marketing workflow.

Minor issues such as unclear roles and deadlines can often slip under the radar, causing confusion over who does what and when. A well-defined marketing workflow ensures every task follows a step-by-step process, keeps your team aligned, and reduces confusion. As your campaigns grow in complexity, so does your speed of execution.

In this post, we’ll explore marketing workflows, why they’re important, and how to build the right one for your business.

TL;DR

  • A marketing workflow is a structured, step-by-step process for managing and executing marketing activities. It assigns roles, timelines, and dependencies, helping teams stay organized and efficient throughout a campaign.
  • Marketing workflows automate repetitive tasks, improve team collaboration, and provide real-time updates, allowing teams to focus on high-priority work and improve campaign outcomes.
  • Look for adaptable workflows, offer collaboration features, integrate with your current systems, and provide solid support and onboarding resources. Pricing flexibility is also a key consideration.

What is a Marketing Workflow?

A marketing workflow is a step-by-step process that marketing teams use to execute campaigns, from planning and creation to execution. It clarifies who is responsible for each task, the timeline for completion, and the dependencies between different actions, approvals, etc.

Marketers use this process to:

  • Manage lead generation and organize databases.
  • Develop forms, requests, and tasks.
  • Promote collaboration within the team.
  • Build a teamwork environment.
  • Establish a centralized database.
  • Build a system for executing long-term marketing initiatives.

This structured approach is important because it brings transparency to every campaign stage. It breaks down larger tasks into smaller, actionable steps, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked. This helps team members understand exactly what is expected of them and when it needs to be done. 

These workflows ensure that all marketing activities are aligned with the overall strategy and business goals. For example, in a content marketing campaign, a workflow may detail the writing, editing, designing, and publishing stages, ensuring that every task is executed correctly and on time. 

Lastly, marketing workflows help ensure that your team is aligned by providing a clear roadmap of responsibilities. It specifies high-priority tasks, how to track progress, and which tasks require collaboration. Let’s consider what issues they solve and why you need it.

How Marketing Workflow Tools Help

  1. Automate Repetitive Tasks to Save Time

Tasks such as sending follow-up emails, scheduling social media posts, and tracking campaign metrics can be automated, allowing you to focus on more strategic and creative work. This reduces the risk of human error, ensures consistency, and keeps campaigns running on schedule. For example, once you set up an automated email drip campaign, it runs in the background while you focus on other tasks.

  1. Improved Collaboration Among Team Members and External Partners

These tools often include shared dashboards, task assignments, and comment sections, making it easy to stay on the same page, communicate, share updates, and track real-time progress. Whether coordinating between copywriters, designers, or ad managers or working with external agencies, a good workflow means everyone knows their responsibilities and deadlines, leading to better coordination and quicker feedback. 

💡With Factors.ai, drive more pipeline by identifying high-intent accounts and notifying your sales team to act quickly on valuable opportunities.

Key Features of Marketing Workflow Tools

  1. Planning and Managing Campaigns

Workflows plan and manage campaigns by organizing tasks, setting timelines, and assigning roles, reducing the need for scattered tools like spreadsheets, emails, and multiple systems, which are time-consuming

These tools provide a clear roadmap for each campaign, ensuring that all tasks, from content creation to execution, are completed on time. They help track progress, set goals and deliverables, and make adjustments when needed, ultimately improving alignment within your organization, saving time, and giving your team more control over the process and outcome.

You can also segment your audience using specific factors such as behavior, location, and interests, allowing you to tailor your campaign messaging to connect more effectively with your target audience.

  1. Budgeting and Performance Reports

A critical feature of marketing workflow tools is the ability to manage budgets and generate performance reports. You can allocate budgets to specific campaigns or tasks, track spending, and ensure campaigns stay within budget. 

Additionally, they provide detailed reports on key performance metrics, including GDPR and other compliance-related data, and revenue data tied to campaigns, improving your control over your marketing data. 

By tracking and measuring the impact of your campaigns across paid ads, content, and offline events, you can determine how each component of your strategy contributes to leads and revenue. This multi-touch attribution helps you understand which marketing activities yield the best results.

  1. Collaboration Tools

Workflow tools include features that enhance team collaboration, such as shared dashboards, real-time communication, and task assignments. 

These tools promote communication, improve accountability, and ensure everyone's on the same page throughout the campaign process by centralizing information and allowing easy access for all team members.

Tips For Choosing the Right Tool

There are no one-size-fits-all marketing workflows, so how do you ensure you pick the right one? Here are some Tips For Choosing the Right Tool for your business:

  • Establish your goals

What are the objectives you want to reach through your marketing projects? Depending on your goals, you can pick specific workflows and anticipate any potential challenges you might face. Whether working on email marketing campaigns or kickstarting social media, clearly defined goals will help you choose the right kind of tool for you.

  • Collaboration Features

Look for features such as shared dashboards, task assignments, and real-time communication. These can help you adjust workflows while maintaining teamwork and transparency within teams and with external partners.

  • Flexible and customizable setup

Choose a tool to customize workflows, task assignments, and notifications. This flexibility ensures that you can adapt the tool to fit how your team works and easily adjust it as your needs change.

  • Integration

You need to think about how your workflow tool integrates with the systems currently used by your company, such as CRMs, email marketing platforms, and analytics tools. This will allow easy data transfer and less manual work. For example, if ad production is a big part of your workflow, finding a tool that integrates with design is probably a good choice.

  • Adaptable

Your workflow tool should be able to grow and change to meet your needs. An adaptable tool ensures you don’t have to overhaul your processes or switch tools as your business evolves, saving time and resources in the long run.

  • Role-based access

Business leaders should be able to create and oversee workflows, while regular employees need to manage or track their tasks. Look for a system that allows you to create user roles for admins, employees, suppliers, and customers.

  • Support and Onboarding 

The best workflow management software should have onboarding and support. Look for tools that offer comprehensive training resources, tutorials, and responsive support teams to help your team get up to speed quickly so you don't lose time dealing with simple problems.

How Factors.ai helps with building marketing workflows

With Factors, you can align your GTM team in the following ways:

  1. Notify sales teams about ICP accounts visiting high-intent web pages like your pricing page or G2 profile
  2. Guide performance marketing teams to create intent-driven ad campaigns on LinkedIn and Google
  3. Your content team can optimize their content strategy based on how ICP accounts resonate with your blog posts
  4. Help customer success teams identify churn-risk accounts by detecting churn signals
  5. Give your product team a clear idea of product adoption based on how many times they sign in to use your product

Overcoming Challenges in Implementing Marketing Workflows

Implementing a marketing workflow can improve your campaigns, but it's challenging. Let’s explore some challenges and how to overcome them.

  • Lack of the Right Software

Without the right tools, creating and maintaining a workflow can be difficult. Many teams use spreadsheets, emails, and shared documents to manage tasks, often leading to miscommunication and inefficiencies. Invest in marketing workflow software that automates routine tasks, centralizes communication, and tracks progress in real-time.

  • Accountability Among Team Members

Workflows function effectively if everyone involved is held accountable for their specific tasks. Use your workflow tool to track who is responsible for each task and set deadlines that are visible to everyone. Regular check-ins can also ensure that progress is being monitored and that there’s accountability throughout the process.

  • Flexibility and Adaptability

Marketing workflows are not one-size-fits-all. Choose workflow tools that allow for adjustments in real-time and encourage team members to provide feedback on what works and what doesn’t.

  • Inadequate Training and Onboarding

Proper training and onboarding are crucial when introducing new workflow systems. If team members do not fully understand how to use the tools or follow the process, the workflow will likely fail to achieve its intended results.

Wrapping Up

A good marketing workflow isn’t just for marketers but for the whole organization. Once you establish and implement clear goals about how all teams can align and work together, you’re on the right path to generating revenue and pipeline.

Google Ads Quality Score: Types, Benefits & Improvement Strategies

Marketing
November 11, 2024
0 min read

Is your Google Ads Quality Score driving your campaigns or holding them back?

Google Ads Quality Score is a key metric that directly affects your ad performance and cost-per-click (CPC). A higher Quality Score signals to Google that your ad is relevant, engaging, and provides a good user experience. In turn, Google rewards you by lowering your CPC, reducing ad spend, and improving ad rank to reach the ideal customer profile (ICP).

In this article, we’ll explore the key elements—ad relevance, landing page experience, and click-through rate (CTR)—that contribute to a higher Quality Score and tips for improving them.

TL;DR

  • Quality Score measures your ads’ relevance, user experience, and engagement, directly impacting ad performance and costs.
  • Higher Quality Scores lead to lesser CPC, improved ad rankings, and better visibility to target audiences.
  • Different types of Quality Scores provide insights into specific campaign areas: Account Level, Ad Group Level, Keyword Level, Ad Level, Landing Page, and Display Network.
  • Improving Quality Score involves keyword research, optimizing for ad relevance, increasing expected CTR, and enhancing the landing page experience.
  • You can check your Quality Score in Google Ads by adjusting your campaign settings to include relevant metrics.

What is ‘Quality Score’ in Google Ads?

The Quality Score in Google Ads indicates how well your ads resonate with your audience. It functions like a tool that evaluates your ad quality. It compares your ads against competitors who appear on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP), targeting the same keywords. Your ads are assigned a Quality Score based on the quality and relevance of your ad, keywords, and landing page experience for users searching for specific keywords.

Google measures Quality Score on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. If your Quality Score is low, say a 3/10, it signals to Google that your ad, keywords, or landing page may not be relevant or valuable for users. Conversely, a high Quality Score of 9/10 shows Google that your ad is highly relevant, allowing you to benefit from better ad placements and lower costs. It also increases your visibility to the ICP decision-makers searching for solutions like yours. 

Also, read Benefits of Google Ads to know how Google Ads can help you generate quality leads.

Types of Quality Score

There are multiple types of Quality Scores, and each score is essential for understanding your ad performance and areas for improvement. 

The different types of Quality Score are:

Types of Google Ads Quality Score

1. Account-Level Quality Score

Account-Level Quality Score is a metric that discloses your Google Ads account's overall performance. It evaluates the historical performance of all ads, keywords, and landing pages together. Higher scores are rewarded if the ads consistently deliver value to users and meet Google’s quality standards.

2. Ad Group Quality Score

Ad group Quality Score shows how well your keywords and ads work together within an ad group. A low score means a lack of relevance between keywords and ads, making it less useful to your ICP audience and decreasing user experience.

3. Ad-Level Quality Score

Google measures ad-level Quality Score for individual ads. It measures the relevance of the ad copy to the keywords it targets, expected CTR, and landing page experience. By meeting user expectations, you can improve the Ad-level Quality Score and receive better ad ranks and lesser CPCs.

4. Keyword-Level Quality Score

Each keyword in your account is rated between 1 and 10 based on its relevance to ads, landing pages, and expected CTR. A high score means the keyword will likely trigger relevant ads aligning with users’ search intent.

5. Landing Page Quality Score

It measures your landing page's relevance and user experience. Content originality, business transparency, and ease of navigation on the ad landing page affect the score. A high score indicates a good user experience.

6. Display Network Quality Score

This score applies to ads on Google’s Display Network. It rates the relevance and effectiveness of ads and landing pages based on the Display Network sites (YouTube, Gmail, etc) where the ads appear. A high score enhances ad placement and visibility within the Display Network.

Why is Quality Score in Google Ads Important?

As an advertiser, getting a higher Quality Score in Google Ads is essential.

Why is Quality Score in Google Ads Important?

With a higher Quality Score, you can:

1. Higher Ad Rank

Quality Score is directly proportional to ad rankings, increasing visibility in search results. With a higher ad rank, more ICP users will see and click your ads, driving more traffic to your landing page and improving conversion rates.

2. Reducing CPC

Who wouldn’t want a lesser CPC for their ads? A high Quality Score signals to Google that your ads are relevant and valuable to users, which can lower your cost-per-click (CPC) and reduce your ad budget.

3. Increasing CTR

Relevant and engaging ads are more likely to attract clicks, driving more qualified traffic to your landing page leading to higher click-through rates (CTR). 

4. Increase Conversion Rates

Ad relevance and landing page experience increase Quality Scores. A relevant ad-to-landing page journey for the user leads to better engagement, higher conversion rates, and improved Return on Ad Spend (ROAS).

Factors Affecting Quality Scores in Google Ads

The key factors affecting your Google Ad’s Quality Score are:

1. Expected CTR

Click-Through Rate (CTR) measures how likely users are to click on your ads when they appear on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). Google estimates CTR based on historical performance data and your competitors’ ads. When the target audience finds the ads relevant, more users click on them, increasing the CTRs and boosting the Quality Score.

For instance, you’re running Google Ads for a SaaS business targeting visitor identification software keywords. The page's headline is, ‘Track Website Visitors in Real-Time.’ Your CTR will be high if users find the headline compelling and click through frequently. Google sees this high CTR as a positive indicator of relevance, which improves your Quality Score.

However, if the ad headline was less relevant, like ‘Monitor Your Online Traffic,’ it might not grab as much attention from businesses looking for visitor identification software, resulting in a lesser CTR and Quality Score.

2. Ad Relevance

Ad Relevance means how much your ad matches the user intent behind the search query. The target keywords should be highly relevant to the ad copy. It ensures that users find your ads helpful and aligned with their search. If your ad closely matches the search keyword you’re targeting, your Quality Score increases.

Suppose you are running an ad for the keyword visitor identification software. The ad copy headline is, ‘Identify Who is Visiting Your Website.’ It matches the search intent and provides a relevant solution to users actively searching for visitor identification.

On the other hand, if the ad copy headline is generic, such as ‘Best Software for Website Management,’ it becomes irrelevant to users searching for website visitor identification. So, a lesser relevance means a lower Quality Score.

3. Landing Page Experience

Factors affecting landing page experience are page load speed, mobile-friendliness, easy navigation, and content relevance. A landing page that aligns well with the ad and provides value to visitors has a higher Quality Score.

For example, a potential customer searches for ‘visitor identification software’ and clicks your ad. The page is slow to load, difficult to navigate, or lacks clear information about visitor tracking features. It creates a poor landing page experience, causing the user to leave. Google interprets this as a bad user experience, lowering your Quality Score.

But if your ad landing page loads quickly, is mobile-friendly, and provides relevant content on visitor identification solutions for marketers, users are more likely to stay on the page and engage, improving your Quality Score.

4. Historical Account Performance

Suppose your Google Ads account has a history of high-performing campaigns that consistently deliver relevant, high-quality ads. In this case, Google is more likely to reward your new ads with a higher Quality Score from the start.

But if your account has a history of poor performance, such as ads with low CTRs or ads that frequently lead to irrelevant landing pages, the Quality Score of new ads is negatively impacted. This happens because Google perceives your ads as having lesser relevance or engagement quality.

Check out our detailed guide on Google Ads Strategy in 2025, to learn more about optimizing your campaigns.

How to Increase Quality Score in Google Ads?

You can increase your Quality Score in Google Ads by focusing on the critical areas like:

1. Keyword Research

1.1 Staying Updated on Latest Trends

Regular keyword research helps you stay updated on the latest trends and allows you to optimize for the most relevant keywords. It signals to Google that your landing page is fresh and relevant, increasing the Quality Score.

1.2 Identify High-Intent Keywords

Identify high-intent keywords and appropriate keyword match types and optimize for them. This increases your chances of displaying ads to your ICP audience, improves CTR and ad relevance, and raises your Quality Score.

1.3 Filter Negative Keywords

Your ads might get triggered for irrelevant keywords, called negative keywords. Adding them as negative keywords to your ads account prevents irrelevant impressions and ensures ads appear only for relevant queries, enhancing your Quality Score.

2. Optimizing For Ad Relevance

When your ad is highly relevant, it is more likely to engage the audience, improve CTR, and signal to Google that it meets users’ expectations, increasing your Quality Score.

2.1 Align Your Keywords to Ad Copy

Your ad copy should include all the keywords relevant to the user's search intent. Use the target keywords in the headline and description to show users that your ad addresses their needs.

2.2 Refine Ad Group Structure

Group similar keywords together so that ads align to specific themes. For instance, create separate ad groups for product features and user needs to increase relevance.

Imagine you're running a campaign for B2B visitor identification software. During keyword research, you identify high-intent keywords like best visitor identification software and visitor tracking software for B2B.

To optimize ad relevance, you should:

  1. Create ad groups focused on specific themes (e.g., visitor identification software and visitor tracking for B2B) rather than grouping all keywords together.
  2. Customize ad copy for each ad group to match the keyword intent.

3. Increasing Expected CTR

A high expected CTR signals to Google that users find your ad useful, which improves your Quality Score and can reduce your CPC

3.1 Writing Compelling Ad Copy

Compelling headings and descriptions highlighting the benefits, unique selling points, discounts, or free trials can make your ad more click-worthy.

3.2 A/B Testing

Run A/B tests on ad copies to see which versions get the most clicks. Small changes like the Call-To-Action (CTA) or headline structure can improve CTR.

3.3 Using Ad Extensions

Ad extensions like sitelinks—for example, Features, Customer Success Stories, or Pricing—provide users with more context and ways to engage, making your ad more informative and clickable.

For example, you’re running ads for keyword B2B visitor identification software. You can increase expected CTR by crafting a compelling ad highlighting a unique value proposition and encouraging action. Instead of a generic headline like ‘Visitor Identification Software for B2B’, use a headline that addresses a direct benefit: ‘Identify Anonymous Website Visitors – Convert Leads Faster!’ Rather than ‘Learn More,’ a targeted CTA could be ‘Book Your Demo Today,’ which can improve CTR.

4. Enhancing Landing Page Experience

When the landing page aligns with the ad’s message, loads quickly, and offers clear navigation, it provides a better user experience and boosts Quality Score.

4.1 Align Landing Page Content With Ad’s Messaging

When a user clicks on the ad and reaches the landing page, the copy on the page should continue the ad’s message on the SERP. For example, if the ad promotes a feature, the landing page should detail that feature. It improves user experience.

4.2 Improve Load Speed and Mobile Optimization

Users expect a fast and smooth experience, so improving the page load speed is critical. If the page is too slow to load, it leads to high bounce rates. Higher bounce rates mean lesser user engagement, thereby decreasing your quality score. Since users may access the page on various devices, make sure it’s mobile-friendly.

4.3 Provide clear CTA and Navigation

The landing page should be easy to navigate and have a clear CTA guiding users to the next steps. To enhance usability, provide clear navigation options like links to Features, Pricing, and Customer Success Stories.

For example, imagine your ad promoting a B2B visitor identification software. A user sees the title ‘Identify Anonymous Website Visitors – Convert Leads Faster’ and clicks. The landing page should then showcase the software's visitor identification features, highlight how it can boost lead conversion, and include clear CTAs like signing up for a free demo or trial. It enhances the user experience and encourages action. This relevance and ease of use improve the chances of conversion and signal to Google that your landing page is valuable, positively impacting the Quality Score.

4.4 Improve User Engagement Signals

Google considers user engagement signals when deciding if your content is useful. These signals are bounce rate and time spent on the page. Improve them by offering interactive elements like video or interactive demos to increase Quality Scores.

How to Increase Quality Score in Google Ads?

How do You Check the Quality Score on a Google Ads Account?

Here is a step-by-step process to check the Quality Score on your Google Ads account.

Improving Google Ads Quality Score for Better Performance
