1. Ad Quality, Ad Rank & Budget
Your version is partly correct but oversimplified.
In platforms like Google Ads, Ad Rank ≠ just highest bid
Even if someone bids higher, they can still lose if their quality is poor
Ad Rank depends on:
Bid amount
Quality Score
Expected impact of extensions & formats
So the real idea:
The advertiser with the best combination of bid + quality wins the auction—not just the highest bidder.
Important correction:
Budget does NOT directly decide Ad Rank
Budget only controls how often your ad can participate, not its position
2. Factors on which Ad Rank depends
✔ Core Factors (Actual Google Logic)
Ad Copy Relevance

3. What are Search Ads?
Search ads are:
Ads that appear on the search engine results page (SERP) when users search for specific keywords.
Example:
If someone searches: “best digital marketing courses in Delhi”
Brands like your BizBoost Digital Academy can show ads at the top
Key characteristics:
Triggered by keywords
Intent-based (high conversion potential)
