Quality Score

What is Quality Score?

Quality Score (QS) is a metric used by Google Ads to evaluate the relevance and performance of your ads, keywords, and landing pages. It ranges from 1 to 10 (10 being the best) and directly impacts your cost-per-click (CPC) and ad ranking.

Why Does Quality Score Matter?

A higher Quality Score means:
Lower advertising costs (Google rewards relevant ads with cheaper clicks)
Better ad positions (Even with lower bids, high-QS ads may rank higher)
Long-term campaign efficiency (Consistently good QS improves account health)

How is Quality Score Calculated?

Google evaluates three main factors:

  1. Ad Relevance – Does your ad match the user’s search intent?
  2. Expected Click-Through Rate (CTR) – How likely is your ad to be clicked?
  3. Landing Page Experience – Is your webpage useful and well-optimized?

How Businesses Use Quality Score

  • E-commerce stores optimize QS to lower acquisition costs.
  • Affiliate marketers improve ad relevance to maximize ROI.
