We recently completed some work for a major corporation whose Google Ads campaigns were primarily concerned with impression share.<\/span><\/h2>\n

They didn’t care about conversions; instead, they intended to obtain a particular proportion of impression share for each of their keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the initiatives I oversee focus on increasing conversions; thus, this is an odd target. This firm intended to concentrate on impression share and used its search advertisements solely for branding.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the definition of the impression share metric?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The “percentage of impressions that your advertising acquires relative to the total amount of impressions your ads may receive” is known as impression share.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the formula for calculating the impression share?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The impression share is calculated as follows: impressions \/ total eligible impressions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your keyword may be activated for various search queries depending on the match type of each term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google considers the number of queries that your keywords may be associated with. Then Google divides that figure by the number of searches your ad was seen. To do so, Google examines your account’s bad keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, how you organize your account and the keywords you employ significantly impact your impression share. You’ll be eligible for more searches if you utilize many wide-match keywords (which I don’t encourage). Your impression share is likely to be lower.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you use Google Ads to create a decent keyword list that focuses on exact match keywords and\/or a large negative keyword list, you can keep complete control over when your ad is displayed. Your search impression share will increase as a result of this.<\/span><\/p>\n
