Google Ads Auction works by combining advertisers’ bids, the quality of their ads, and the resultant Ad Rank. Advertisers set a bid for their ads, which is the maximum they’re willing to pay per click. Google assesses the Quality Score of each ad based on its relevance and quality. Ad Rank, determined by multiplying the bid with the Quality Score, decides the placement of ads. During an auction, ads with higher Ad Ranks are displayed prominently, and the cost per click is calculated based on the advertiser’s position and the bid of the competitor below them.
