Marketers using platforms like Google Ads often encounter various recommendations aimed at improving their campaigns. But how can they know if these suggestions are worth implementing? One key indicator is the optimisation score. This score reflects how well your account is set up to perform, and recommendations can directly impact it.
Each recommendation provides insight into its potential effect on your optimisation score, displayed as a percentage increase. For example, a suggestion might indicate that applying it will boost your score by 5%. This makes it easy for marketers to gauge which changes will have the biggest impact.
