About Quality Score

Quality Score helps to to give you a sense of how well your ad quality compares to other advertisers.

It is measured on a scale from 1-10 and is only available at Keyword level. You will have a higher Quality Score If your ad and landing page are more relevant and useful to a person searching for your keyword, compared to other advertisers.

There are 3 components that helps calculating the Quality Score. Each component is evaluated with a status of “Above average,” “Average,” or “Below average.

  1. Expected clickthrough rate (CTR) is "the likelihood that your ad will be clicked when shown."

  2. Ad relevance is "how closely your ad matches the intent behind a user's search."

  3. Landing page experience is "how relevant and useful your landing page is to people who click your ad."
