When using paid search ads, there are many variables that play into how you measure return on investment from your organic search campaign. Google Ads, for example, your quality score is determined and affected by the structure and relevance of the actual ad users click on and the quality of the website landing page receiving that traffic after clicking your ad. Relevance is the drive that really makes your ad successful or fails based on Google auctions and bidding strategies.
Google Ads may be a great option for some businesses, while a waste of money for many. This all depends on a few factors like; keyword search volume, cost per click (CPC) and cost per acquisition (CPA) on highly competitive keywords.

Amongst all, Google Ads is the most used and effective in reaching new customers and running your remarketing campaigns. .
