How It Works

4 sources of wasted Google Ads spend

This estimator analyzes the four most common causes of budget waste in Google Ads accounts.

Low CTR waste

When your CTR is below the industry average (≈5%), a significant portion of clicks comes from low-intent users unlikely to convert. These clicks cost real money with no return.

Broad match overuse

Broad match keywords serve your ads for loosely related searches. The higher your broad match %, the more irrelevant queries consume your budget without generating value.

No negative keywords

Without a negative keyword list, your budget leaks to irrelevant queries — "free", competitor brands, or unrelated intent. Most accounts waste 15–25% this way.

Fix It

How to recover wasted spend

Build a Negative Keyword List

Start with obvious irrelevant terms (free, DIY, jobs, how to) and expand monthly using your Search Terms report. A strong negative list is the highest-ROI optimization in any account.

Typical saving: 15–25% of spend

Switch Broad to Phrase/Exact Match

Reduce broad match usage to 20–30% of your keyword portfolio. Prioritize Phrase and Exact match for your top-converting keywords where control matters most.

Typical saving: 10–20% of spend

Audit Search Terms Report Weekly

Review what searches are triggering your ads every week. Any search term without a conversion after 50+ clicks should be added as a negative keyword immediately.

Typical saving: 5–15% of spend

Improve Ad Relevance & QS

Higher Quality Score means lower CPC for the same ad position. A QS jump from 5 to 8 typically reduces your effective CPC by 20–30%, stretching your budget further.

Typical saving: 20–30% lower CPC
