[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Did you know that you can check Auction Insights in AdWords to check who else is bidding on the same keywords as you?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading]
Why use this?
[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]To see who you are competing against. The impression share column will tell you what percentage of possible impressions your ads received. You can check if your competitors’ ads have been showing more than yours. Also, if you look at “Top of page rate”, you can see how often your ads show among the first 4 results, in comparison to others.
Extra pro tip: Check your brand keywords separately to see who is also bidding on them. But remember – when looking at your whole account, you should exclude your own brand keywords, since they may skew the average. You are bound to be in a better position for your own brand. The same thing with competitor keywords, there you are probably in a lower position than the average.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h1″]Here’s a quick guide to get you started with Auction Insights:[/vc_custom_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading]
