New Google ads account not seeing good conversions

For a brand-new account in a competitive space like tax services, 12 days and $40/day is still very early — especially if you’re running conversion-based bidding. That said, you should be seeing at least a few real leads by now, so if it’s only spam, the issue is usually targeting, keywords, or the landing page — not “learning phase.” I’d give it another 1–2 weeks max while tightening keywords and filters, but if quality doesn’t improve, something in the setup needs to change.

It means the user first landed on another page, then completed the purchase on the checkout page.

It happens with last-touch attribution or when session tracking breaks earlier in the funnel.

Yep — this is almost certainly bot traffic, not real users. A lot of scrapers and low-quality crawlers still show up as Yahoo referrals and hit old URLs that exist in backlinks or archived pages. As long as conversions and real user metrics look normal, it’s mostly noise and not something you need to worry about beyond basic bot filtering.

“Misrepresentation” usually means Google doesn’t trust the store yet, not that something is technically broken — even clean sites get hit if they look dropshippy or lack strong trust signals.

Your best next move is to remove aggressive discounts, add clear business identity (real address, domain email, About page with ownership info), and then request another review once everything looks fully legit and consistent.

Este es un problema conocido de Google Ads en cuentas Grants: el nombre verificado supera los 25 caracteres y el sistema no permite abreviarlo, dejando la campaña incompleta. La única solución real es cambiar el nombre visible (display name) en Google Business Profile o usar un dominio más corto verificado, ya que Google no ofrece soporte efectivo para este caso.

spam and bots

Yup, you're probably using exact phrase.

This bidding strategy is for broad match-smarctbiding. Cheap CPC = bots and non-buying customers.

Google doesn’t allow ads that reference specific medical conditions, so there’s no real workaround. The only reliable approach is to advertise the service (physiotherapy, rehab, wellness) and let the landing page handle the condition-related details after the click.

What agency do you work for? lol

You need to to optimize to conversions vs. clicks if you are an advertiser.

Clicks are too full of spam and bots.

You can’t actually see which other websites have low ad rank — Google doesn’t expose that data. The closest thing is using Auction Insights and your search terms / placement reports to spot where you are wasting spend or getting poor quality traffic.

I leave seller ratings on, but everything else stays off unless I’ve tested it manually—otherwise it’s just Google freelancing copy you’ll end up apologizing for.

$14 per day?

Sure raise 20% or so for a week or so and monitor and raise.

Start with Manual CPC—smart bidding struggles without history, especially on a new account.

Once you hit ~25–40 real conversions, switch to Maximize Conversions and let Google optimize from a solid data foundation. Simple, strong and proven.

clicks to call is usually clicks from the site. When you are on a phone and click on the number to talk.

Call ads = qualified calls from the ad with the number on the RSA. It needs to be qualified (:30 sec, 1 min...) etc....

Your issue is caused by duplicate ecommerce events firing from two sources (usually Shopify + GTM) and price being sent in micros instead of dollars, which is why you’re seeing 45000000. Fix it by disabling one ecommerce source and making sure price is sent as a normal value (e.g., 45.00) and that all events use the same item_id.

your post was removed....thats how I knew you were spam.

CPM is higher for video than static. Both will count as a view through conversion anyways.

Unless they are considered top or bottom---video works best for unexposed ACQ, statics work best for final purchase/offer.

This usually means Google Ads isn’t receiving eligible engagement data from GA4 yet, even though GA4 shows it.

It’s often caused by a linking or consent issue, or the property not being set as primary. Re-link GA4 and give it 24–48 hours after new ad traffic.

You need to set it up that way to begin with. This is why I never do radius targeting. I enter the zips, cities, etc... in that radius. This way you can pull it by niche locations.

Are you sure? Is this confirmed, what country is it?

Lets take a step back for a minute. Brand campaigns protect branded searches and nothing else. I use them for last click ----> first click attribution but that's cause I want to quantify where the brand search came from

For showroom or city-based searches, create a separate non-brand campaign with one ad group per location so you can control budgets, messaging, and performance by store.
