According to Google, the recommendations page is a dedicated section in your Google Ads account designed to assist you with your optimization efforts. Each recommendation offers tailored suggestions to enhance your campaign's performance.
These recommendations can help you maximize your budget by improving your keywords, bidding strategies, and ads, ultimately boosting the overall performance and efficiency of your campaigns.
Additionally, this page displays your optimization score, which is Google's estimate of how effectively your account is set up to perform. Scores range from 0% to 100%, with 100% indicating that your account can achieve its full potential.
You can increase this score by implementing the suggested recommendations.
The optimization score is calculated in real-time, taking into account your settings, statistics, campaign status, recommendation history, and the potential impact of available recommendations. Your overall optimization score reflects whether you apply or dismiss recommended changes.
For instance, if you apply a recommendation that offers a potential score increase of 10%, your account’s optimization score will rise by 10%, and that recommendation will be marked as completed.
The recommendations page can assist you in several ways:
- Make improvements quickly, provided the recommendations are relevant and appropriate for your campaign.
