How a good website influences the success of Google Ads campaigns
Introduction
Google Ads advertising is one of the most powerful tools for attracting new customers and increasing sales. However, the success of campaigns depends heavily on the quality of the website that users land on after clicking on an ad. Without proper optimisation of the page, advertising can become too expensive and conversions unsatisfactory.
In this article, we will explore why a quality website is crucial for Google Ads campaigns, how it affects Google Quality Score, and what technical and content improvements can positively impact your return on advertising spend (ROAS). 🔥
1. Why is a good website essential for Google Ads?
When a user clicks on your ad, they are expected to quickly find relevant information and take the desired action – a purchase, enquiry or other conversion. If the website is not properly optimised, the user will quickly leave, which means:
Higher advertising costs – more clicks, fewer conversions = lower ROAS.
Poor user experience – a slow and opaque site reduces trust.
Lower ad rankings – Google assesses the quality of a page, which affects the display and price of ads.
💡 Example: an online shop with a slow loading speed (more than 3 seconds) will have a high bounce rate, which means more wasted unused clicks.
2. How does Google Quality Score affect ROAS?
Google Quality Score is one of the key factors that determine the performance and price of Google Ads campaigns. The Quality Score influences:
✅ Your ad’s position – A higher Quality Score means a better ad ranking. ✅ Cost Per Click (CPC) – A higher quality page can reduce your cost per click. ✅ ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) – Better optimisation = better return on advertising.
🔎 How does a website affect Quality Score?
Page load speed ⚡ – Faster pages result in a better user experience and lower abandonment rates.
Mobile optimisation 📱 – More than 60% of searches happen on mobile devices, so your website needs to be personalised.
Content relevance 📝 – If a user clicks on an ad for “red trainers” and goes to a page selling clothes, the quality score will be lower.
💡 Example: if you have a Quality Score of 9/10 instead of 5/10, you can get up to 50% more clicks for the same budget.
3. Key areas of a good website for better Google Ads results
To ensure that your website supports the success of your Google Ads campaigns, it is important to optimise the following key factors:
a) Technical SEO ⚙️
🔹 Properly structured titles and meta descriptions. 🔹 Use SSL certificate (HTTPS) for security. 🔹 Optimising images for faster loading. 🔹 Use structured data for better display in search engines.
b) Page speed 🚀
🔹 The page should load in less than 3 seconds. 🔹 Use a CDN (Content Delivery Network) for faster loading. 🔹 Minimise unnecessary scripts (JavaScript, CSS). 🔹 Optimise images (compressed and in the right format).
c) Structure and user experience (UX) 🏗️
🔹 Clear navigation and highly visible CTA (call to action) buttons. 🔹 Clear design with user focus. 🔹 Quick product search and filtering. 🔹 Mobile-friendliness.
d) Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) 🎯
🔹 A/B testing of landing pages. 🔹 Social proof (ratings, reviews, trust certificates). 🔹 Clear and attractive offers. 🔹 Easy and fast purchase process.
💡 Example: by optimising speed and CTA buttons, a company can increase conversion rates from 1% to 3%, which means three times more sales for the same budget! 🚀
4. Why is SEO crucial for a positive ROAS of digital advertising?
SEO and Google Ads often work in synergy, as SEO improves organic visibility, which in turn improves the performance of paid campaigns.
🔹 Reduce cost per click (CPC) – If you have a strong organic presence, Google will rate your page as more relevant. 🔹 Increased credibility – Users trust organic hits more, so a combination of SEO and ads can increase trust. 🔹 Long-term impact – Google Ads delivers immediate results, while SEO reduces reliance on paid ads in the long term.
💡 Example: a company that invests in SEO and Google Ads at the same time can achieve 30-50% lower advertising costs for the same number of conversions in one year! 📉
Conclusion
✅ A good website is the basis for successful Google Ads campaigns. ✅ Optimising speed, structure and content increases ROAS and lowers cost per click. ✅ Google Quality Score is the key to lower CPCs and better ad placements. ✅ SEO and digital advertising together create a stronger online presence.
