Adwords not showing for local search?

    Hi All,
    A client of mine was asking me to help with a Google ppc campaign he is trying to run.

    He set the campaign up to only bring local traffic. That is within a 20 mile radius of a location. In the admin area it shows a quality score of 1/10... This would be ok, but google say " Keyword relevance, Landing page quality and Landing page load time is all fine"

    Can anyone help with this, if the Keyword relevance, Landing page quality and Landing page load time is all fine. how do we get the quality score higher?

    Here is what google says:

    Displaying·ads right now?

    * We're not able to provide additional information about this keyword due to the type of geographic targeting used in this campaign.
    * This campaign is not currently enabled.

    Quality score Learn more
    1/10

    * Keyword relevance: No problems
    * Landing page quality: No problems
    * Landing page load time: No problems


    Thank you.

    Couple things can be done:

    - Group similar keywords in same ad group
    - Use relevant keywords to landing page's content
    - Make sure landing page is SEO friendly
    - Optimize page load speed

    There are other factors like your client account's age, history CTR etc that affects the quality score.

    And make sure your client enable his/her campaign :)

    You probably have a very low CTR. In other words if a lot of people don't click on your ad it your QS will go down. Is it the same for all the keywords?
