Solution
Some of your spend
buys nothing.
Not overspend — waste. Auctions nobody else is in, on queries where you already hold the organic result. You are paying for a click you would have received for free.
You notice it like this
- Budget is flat, conversions are flat, and nobody can say which half is working.
- Brand campaigns sit at 90%+ impression share against no visible competition.
- Someone senior has asked what would actually happen if you paused it.
Why it happens
Impression share is eligibility-based, so only Google knows it — every tool that estimates how contested a keyword is, is guessing. Marley reads your own first-party numbers instead and sets them against what the result page actually shows, which is the only way to tell an uncontested auction from a quiet one.
