How does implementing a recommendation elsewhere affect your optimization score?

• A. It will still positively impact your optimization score
• B. It will have no impact on the score
• C. It will cause the score to drop temporarily
• D. It will invalidate the recommendation

Answer: (A)

Optimization score tracks how many recommended actions you’ve actually implemented across your account. When you put a recommendation into action, you’re showing that you’re following the suggested best practices, and that progress gets reflected in the score. The score is a cumulative measure, not tied to a single location, so applying the change somewhere else still counts toward the overall score. It isn’t neutral, it isn’t temporary and it doesn’t invalidate the recommendation—the design is to reward you for implementing the guidance, wherever you implement it.
