List of Available Widgets for Google Ads

Written by Geetanjali Tyagi

Each individual check in the Account Structure Audit is called a widget. These widgets check a specific aspect of your account and return a score, a status (Healthy, Issues, or Info), and/or a list of the items that triggered the check.

Widgets are grouped into sections such as Account, Campaigns, Performance Max, and Ad Groups. When you set up an audit, you can choose which widgets to include.

Ad Groups

  • High-Cost Ad Groups with Low Quality Score: Checks for ad groups that are among the top x% of highest spend, and which have a quality score that’s less than X.

  • Ad Groups With Too Few Ads/Too Many Ads: These two widgets will check for any ad groups that have either too many or too few ads, allowing you to set the maximum/minimum number of allowed ads.

  • Ad Groups With Too Many Keywords: Check for any ad groups that include more than your defined value for the maximum number of allowed active keywords.

  • Ad Groups with Duplicate Ads

  • Ad Groups with too few keywords

Ads

  • Ads With Duplicate Descriptions: This will check to make sure that no more than X% of ads have the same description.

  • Ads With Duplicate Headline 1: This will check to make sure that no more than X% of ads have the same headline 1.

  • Ads With Duplicate Headline 2: As with Duplicate Headline 1, this widget will check to see if there are any two or more ads with the same headline 2

  • Final URLs that are still using HTTP: Checks for final URLs that are still using HTTP instead of HTTPS. It considers the ETAs, RSAs, Call Ads, and any final URL associated with a keyword.

  • Campaigns Losing Impression Share due to Budget: This widget shows those campaigns that don't have enough daily budgets. Therefore, they end up losing impression share. You can optimize them by increasing their daily budget. You can use the Optimize Budget tool for this. You'll only see those campaigns that are losing IS due to budget > 1% (Either Search or Content IS).

  • Campaigns with Google-Generated Text Enabled: This widget checks whether Google can automatically create text assets for eligible campaigns. It flags the setting so you can review whether automated text generation fits your brand-control requirements.

  • List: Account Location Targets: This widget generates a list of all the locations that are being targeted for each campaign.

  • List: Account Ad Schedules: This widget helps you identify if there are campaigns that don't have day parts set up. You can then use the Hour of the Week Bid Adjustment tool to optimize them. 

Negative Keywords

  • Campaigns With No Negative Keywords: This widget lists the campaigns that have no negative keywords. Negative keywords can be added from high-cost and low-performing queries through the Negative Keyword Finder.

  • Count of negative keywords by campaigns: This widget checks and lists the count of negative keywords found in each campaign.

  • Conflicting Negative Keywords: This widget checks your account for keyword conflicts that can block the necessary traffic. It checks if negative keywords in the account are conflicting with the positive keywords.

    The tool also lets you customize the widget by choosing which keyword conflicts are expected for your account based on your strategy. You can choose to ignore:

    • Conflicts of positive broad and phrase match keywords with exact match negative keywords

    • Conflicts of broad match positive keywords with phrase match negative keywords.

    By customizing the widget based on your strategy, you can focus on the specific conflicts that are most relevant to your campaign goals, helping you ensure that your keywords are working together effectively.

Conversion Tracking and modifying your settings in Optmyzr

  • Account Conversion Tracking Status: Accounts with no conversions for the past 30 days may not have conversion tracking enabled. This widget, therefore, returns whether or not conversion tracking is active and if so, the number of conversions for the past 30 days.

    It’ll also display the Tracker IDs along with each of their statuses. You can click on the Tracker ID, and it will open a right-side panel that allows you to edit your Conversion Tracker Settings directly in Optmyzr. It is no longer required for you to log into Google ads if you wish to change the Attribution Model.

    By clicking on the Advanced option, you will be able to enable the option to exclude 'Conversions', change the View-through lookback window, the Click-through lookback window, and the Counting Type (one per click or many per click). If you are not certain which options would work best for your account, feel free to reach out to support@optmyzr.com.

You will be able to see these options if you run manually a PPC Audit from the tool.

The editing menu will not appear at the moment if you are previewing the Audit from an email, account dashboard, workout, or blueprints, but it is on our product roadmap to support it. If you would like to be informed when this feature will be launched, contact support@optmyzr.com.

  • Conversion Tracking Over-counting Check: If conversions and click counts are the same, it may be a sign that the conversion tag was installed in the wrong location. This widget checks and returns whether or not it is over-counting.

  • Conversion Tracking Undercounting Check: Unusually low conversion rates may be a sign that the tracking code was not installed on all pages or that certain types of conversions (like calls) are not being counted. For this purpose, this widget returns as a percentage of the overall conversion rate. 

  • Conversion Trackers using Last Click Attribution: Checks conversion trackers still using Last Click Attribution. If you click on the Conversion tracking name, it will open a right-side panel where you can edit your Conversion Tracker Settings directly in Optmyzr.

  • Conversions Trackers not considered for the Last Click Attribution Audit Score:

    The attribution model for some conversion types can not be modified to Data data-driven model. Therefore, such conversion trackers are not counted for the Audit Score, even though they are shown in the Audit. The list of such conversion types is:

    • Google Play Download

    • Google Play In App Purchase

    • Firebase Android First Open

    • Firebase Android In App Purchase

    • Firebase Android Custom

    • Firebase IOS First Open

    • Firebase IOS In App Purchase

    • Firebase IOS Custom

    • Third Party App Analytics Android First Open

    • Third Party App Analytics Android In App Purchase

    • Third Party App Analytics Android Custom

    • Third Party App Analytics IOS First Open

    • Third Party App Analytics IOS In App Purchase

    • Third Party App Analytics IOS Custom

    • Android App Pre Registration

    • Android Installs All Other Apps

    • Google Hosted

    • Smart Campaign Tracked Calls

    • Unknown

    • Unspecified

Pro Tip: We recommend not using a Last-Click attribution model because this may undervalue activity from potential customers when they are in the early stages of making a purchasing decision. When this happens, it may lead to other subpar optimization decisions that will ultimately narrow your funnel and cause you to miss out on potential conversions.

Note: We strongly suggest you don't use 'Unknown' and 'Unspecified' as attribution models. Doing so will fail the application, and you'll receive a warning message.

Performance

Search Query

  • Clicks distribution by Search Query Match Type

  • Conversions distribution by Search Query Match Type

Keywords

  • Ad Relevance Score for keywords 

  • Quality Score for keywords

Additionally, you can view more detailed information, including Quality scores, Expected CTR, Landing Page scores, and other relevant data for these keywords.

Extensions

Extensions can be checked for at two levels: Campaigns and Accounts. In both cases, the system checks for two types of extensions:

  1. Extensions that have been added directly to the Campaign or Account (this is the most common one)

  2. Feed-based extensions that have been added using a feed (these are not common anymore, but there may be some accounts that are still using them). For feed-based extensions, the system is only able to analyze and report on those that have had impressions. Feed-based extensions that have zero impressions (all time), will not show up in the audits.
