That's a good point. We didn't trigger that mechanic because we have a Free plan. However, by doing that we weren't targeting our "ideal customer" which is definitely a paid one.

On the other hand, if we would lower the CTR by defining the price, we would have higher CPCs or lowered the number of impressions due to a low Quality Score. Even if we WOULD get lower CPLs, that won't bring ROI since users still won't activate on our platform.

The problem wasn't about Google Search Ads settings: we hired skilled SEMs and everything. The problem was about the product-market fit understanding and segmenting potential customers based on related value props and keywords.



Got it. Great piece, by the way.
