An ad auction selects which eligible ads appear at an advertising opportunity and in what order. Google Search considers factors including quality and search context alongside bids.[1] The highest bid therefore does not automatically win every position. An auction is a selection process, not a fixed price list guaranteeing placement.
A merchant receiving few impressions should investigate eligibility and relevance before simply increasing bids. Check alignment among query, ad and offer. Results can vary between auctions, so one high position says little about visibility across every search or device.
