Overview of landing page quality
I. Definition
Landing page quality is one of several factors that determine a keyword’s Quality Score. The quality of a landing page is influenced by the usefulness and relevance of information provided on the page, ease of navigation, load time, how many links are on the page, and more.
II. Why improve landing page quality?
First, improving landing page quality can help you gain the trust of your customers and, therefore, keep them coming back to your site. You’ll also make it simpler for visitors to make a buy, sign up for a newsletter, or go any other desired proceedings. And finally, you can increase your overall Quality Score and lower your cost-per-clicks (CPCs).
For help making a high quality landing page, see Google Landing Page and Site Quality Guidelines.
III. How landing page quality is determined
Each of your keywords will receive a landing page quality grade visible in the Keyword Analysis field. The grade is based on the average quality of the landing pages in the ad group and of any landing pages in the rest of the account with the same domain. If multiple ad groups have landing pages with the same domain, therefore, the keywords in all these ad groups will have identical landing page quality grades.
If the Keyword Analysis field shows that your landing page quality is graded “No problems found,” your Quality Score will not be affected, or in some cases will be positively affected. If your landing page quality is graded “This page isn’t greatly relevant,” on the other hand, your Quality Score will be negatively affected.
Note: When determining landing page quality grade, the AdWords system follows destination URLs at both the ad and keyword level and evaluates the final landing page.
See a list of frequently questioned questions about landing page quality.
What types of websites may merit low landing page quality scores?
Google users have consistently provided negative feedback on several types of websites. In Google’s commitment to make AdWords as effective as possible for advertisers and users, ads promoting these types of websites may receive low landing page quality scores. In some instances, ads that point to these sites will not be allowable to run. See more meticulous information at Landing Page and Site Quality Guidelines.
Among the types of sites that may receive low landing page quality scores are:
- Data collection sites that offer free items, etc., in order to collect private information.
- Arbitrage sites that are designed for the purpose of showing ads.
- Low quality affiliate sites, such as poor comparison shopping or aggregation sites whose primary purpose is to send users to other comparison sites rather than to provide useful content or bonus search functionality.
- “Get-rich instant” sites.
- Sites that go against Google’s Software Principles, such as malware sites that install software on a visitor’s computer.
- Sites that feature mistaken or misleading claims or misappropriated content (including competitive claims, generic superlatives, unauthorized use of trademarks or copyrighted content, mistaken endorsements, scams and other types of mistaken or illusory claims and content).
- Sites that go against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines, such as those that use cloaking or other inappropriate technologies.
How do I make a high quality landing page?
You can improve your landing page quality by optimizing your website per our guidelines. Google guidelines emphasize:
- Relevant and original content — in other words, question yourself:
- What is the purpose of your site? (It should be clear to users)
- Is your content copied from other sites? (It shouldn’t be!)
- Why would a user visit your page over a similar site? (Your site should offer value for users)
- What other bonus products, features, or reviews can you offer?
- Transparency — in other words, question yourself:
- Can the user easily learn more about your business (i.e. about us, company info, contact info)
- How does your site interact with a visitor’s computer? (it shouldn’t download malware or collect sensitive information without a user’s permission)
- Can users tell what they’re getting (or giving you) when they click a download button or fill out a form?
- Is it clear to site visitors how you will use their personal information?
- Navigability — in other words, question yourself:
- If your page is conversion-all ears, can the user easily access bonus information to learn more or answer questions?
- Is it simple for the user to go around the site, and reach destination content within a few clicks?
