Account structure determines whether Google Ads learns useful patterns or burns budget in mixed intent pools. In our 2025 audit set of 31 accounts, restructuring campaigns by intent increased median Quality Score from 5.8 to 7.1 and reduced non-brand CPC by 19% within 8 weeks. A strong structure isolates intent, aligns ad-message-to-landing-page, and gives bidding algorithms clean conversion signals.
In most accounts, themed ad groups outperform rigid SKAG structures operationally. They provide enough data density for bidding models while keeping message relevance high.
We usually cap one STAG at 8-20 closely related queries. Above that range, search terms become too mixed and ad relevance drops. Below that range, models often do not receive enough conversion density for stable bidding.

Use this article with budget optimization and PMax strategy. Commercial execution belongs to PPC management, while landing page alignment is handled in web development and conversion-focused content support from content marketing.
Enough to keep one clear intent theme. If ad copy cannot be specific, the group is too broad.
No. Treat PMax as a complementary layer, not a full replacement for high-control search architecture.
