One headline got 20 impressions. Would you replace it?
Say your Google Search ad brought in 10 leads this month. In the asset report, “Washer Repair” has 1,700 impressions. “See Our Repair Options” has 20 and zero conversions. Would you swap it for “Check Appointment Times,” or leave the ad alone?

One lead can show up on two headline rows.
If someone clicks an ad showing both “Washer Repair” and “Ask About Repair Times” and makes a tracked call, that call can count on both headline rows. Before you sort the report and cut a headline, check how often each one appeared and how many leads the whole ad brought in.
Keep the ad, fix a wrong claim, or test one replacement.
If the headline is accurate and all you have is a low impression count, you can leave it alone. If the ad still promises Saturday appointments the business no longer offers, fix it now. If you want to try “Check Appointment Times,” you’ll plan a test around how many leads each version brings in and what they cost.
