Quality Score is a Google Ads diagnostic measure that compares the expected quality of a search ad, keyword, and landing-page experience with other advertisers. It is reported on a scale from 1 to 10 and is based on expected click-through rate, ad relevance, and landing-page experience.
Quality Score is useful for identifying areas that may need improvement, but advertisers should not optimize campaigns merely to increase the displayed score. Google’s real-time ad auctions use more detailed signals than the reported Quality Score metric.
The underlying principles remain important: ads should be relevant to the searcher’s intent, messaging should align with the keyword and offer, and the destination page should provide a useful and credible experience.
Quality Score should therefore be considered alongside bidding, conversion performance, lead quality, and business value. See how PPC bidding works and landing-page optimization.
