How to use it

Expected CTR usually drives the biggest swing, so stronger intent matching can move the forecast quickly.

Use this estimator before writing dozens of ads. It is cheaper to improve structure now than pay a CPC penalty later.

Then compare the result against your search performance on the Quality Score benchmark page.
