How Does Google Search Decide Which Ad is Shown

Where? Ad Rank

Quality Score

Max CPC Bid Amount

HIGHER POST ENGAGEMENT

Higher Relevance Score

More Impression Share and Lower Cost Per

Engagement

“Relevancy Score” in Facebook

HIGHER Quality Adjusted Bid =MORE Ad Impressions at Lower

RESONANCE: Are consumers engaging your Tweet? Do they retweet,

favorite, or reply?

RELEVANCE: Is your Tweet related to things a user is

interested in?

RECENCY: Is your Tweet fresh? Fresher Tweets get

higher priority.

Higher Engagement Rate = (Much) Lower Cost Per Engagement
