An advertiser has a maximum CPC bid of $4.00 and a Quality Score of 8 for a specific keyword. A direct competitor bidding on the same keyword has a maximum CPC bid of $5.00 but a Quality Score of 5. Assuming all other factors are equal, which advertiser will likely achieve a higher Ad Rank in the auction?
-
A
The competitor, because their maximum CPC bid is higher.
-
B
Both will have the same Ad Rank because the auction prioritizes a balance of bid and quality.
-
C
The advertiser with the $4.00 bid, because their combination of bid and Quality Score is superior.
-
D
It's impossible to determine without knowing the ad's expected click-through rate.
