The ad example is for enterprise accounting software — a high-consideration, high-specificity purchase. But the copy reads like a generic billboard: “All-in-One Solution,” “Transform your general ledger,” “Get your product tour.” There’s no keyword confirmation. No audience filter. No signal that says “this is for enterprise buyers, not small businesses or curious clickers.” If you’re running Google Ads, this kind of ad doesn’t just waste money — it muddies your targeting. Broad language attracts broad clicks. And broad clicks confuse the algorithm. Your ad should repel the wrong person before they ever land on your site. https://www.thesarahstemen.com/blog/google-ads-signals-value-hub monthly 0.5 2026-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64d9f2d9944b8f367e803788/169b5793-5b88-41b4-853c-15b8c083e1df/google%E2%80%91ads%E2%80%91real%E2%80%91vs%E2%80%91fake%E2%80%91signals%E2%80%91diagram.png Blog - Google Ads Signals & Value Hub - Make it stand out Real signals reflect intent.
