The correct answers are:
✅ They help save time so marketers can reinvest in their most important priorities.
✅ They help advertisers reach the right user, at the right price, with relevant ads.

Full Breakdown: Why Correct and Incorrect
✅ Correct Answers:
1️⃣ They help save time so marketers can reinvest in their most important priorities
Why it’s correct:
Using broad match, Smart Bidding, and responsive search ads (RSAs) together automates much of the manual work of managing keywords, bids, and ad testing.
This allows marketers to:
- Spend less time adjusting bids and testing headlines
- Focus more on strategy, creative planning, and higher-level tasks
Example:
An eCommerce business uses broad match with Smart Bidding and RSAs. Instead of manually testing new ad copies or adjusting bids for hundreds of keywords, the system optimizes automatically, freeing up the marketing team’s time.
2️⃣ They help advertisers reach the right user, at the right price, with relevant ads
Why it’s correct:
- Broad match finds a wide variety of relevant search queries.
- Smart Bidding uses real-time auction signals (like location, device, time of day) to set the best bid for each auction.
- RSAs dynamically create the best ad combination tailored to the user’s query.
Result:
The advertiser reaches the right person, pays a smart bid price, and serves an ad that matches the user’s search intent.
Example:
A travel agency promotes vacation packages. Even if someone searches “family beach trips June,” and that exact phrase isn’t in the keyword list, broad match + Smart Bidding + RSA work together to:
- Match the query
- Bid competitively
- Serve a relevant ad like “Affordable Family Beach Trips | Book Your June Getaway Now!”
❌ Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

Summary:

---|---|---|
✅ Save time for higher priorities | Yes | Automation reduces manual bidding and testing workload |

FAQs:
Q: Can I just “set and forget” campaigns using this combo?
A: No. While automation handles much of the heavy lifting, you should review and adjust campaigns regularly.
Q: Do RSAs create their own headlines?
A: No. Advertisers provide headlines and descriptions; Google then tests combinations.
Q: Is Smart Bidding necessary for broad match?
A: Strongly recommended. Smart Bidding leverages real-time signals that make broad match effective.
