The Core Equation

Total Conv. Value / Total Cost

Strategic Context

THE STRATEGIC VIEW

Google Search Ads is an "Intent-Based" machine. You aren't interrupting users; you are answering their prayers. Strategic ROAS in Google Ads depends on capturing high-intent "Bottom-of-Funnel" keywords while maintaining a high Quality Score to lower your Cost-Per-Click (CPC) relative to competitors.

Operational Reality

THE INTENT ENGINE

Unlike Facebook (Interruption Marketing), Google Ads captures "Intent". The user is actively searching for a solution. This means Conversion Rates should be higher, but CPC (Cost Per Click) will be significantly more expensive.

THE QUALITY SCORE MULTIPLIER

Your ROAS in Google Ads is mathematically tied to your Quality Score (1-10). If your score is 10/10, Google gives you a ~50% discount on clicks. If it's 1/10, you pay a ~400% penalty.

Optimizing your Landing Page relevance is often more profitable than optimizing the ad copy itself.

Tactical FAQ

TACTICAL Q&A

Q: Why is my Google Ads ROAS lower than Facebook?
A: Google Search captures existing demand (high intent, high cost). Facebook creates demand (low intent, low cost). Search often has lower ROAS but higher "Conversion Rate". Don't compare apples to oranges.
Q: Brand Keywords have high ROAS, should I scale them?
A: Be careful. Brand keywords (people searching your name) are "Defensive". They capture demand you already created. Real growth comes from Cold/Generic keywords, which will always have lower ROAS but bring *new* blood.
Q: How does "Broad Match" affect ROAS?
A: Broad Match usually lowers ROAS initially because it targets loosely related terms. However, Google's "Smart Bidding" needs Broad Match to find cheap pockets of inventory you would never think to target manually.
