A value that's used to determine your ad position (where ads are shown on a page relative to other ads) and whether your ads will show at all.

Ad Rank is calculated using your bid amount, your auction-time ad quality (including expected clickthrough rate, ad relevance, and landing page experience), the Ad Rank thresholds, the competitiveness of an auction, the context of the person’s search (for example, the person’s location, device, time of search, the nature of the search terms, the other ads and search results that show on the page, and other user signals and attributes), and the expected impact of assets and other ad formats.

Tracking the Ad Rank metric is crucial because it directly influences the visibility and positioning of your ads in Google search results. Monitoring Ad Rank provides insights into the effectiveness of your bidding strategy and ad quality, helping advertisers optimize their campaigns for better ad placements.

It offers decision-making information on how well your ads compete in auctions, enabling adjustments to improve positioning, increase ad visibility, and potentially enhance overall campaign performance.

Depends on factors known only to Google. That is why there is no example calculation. To perform on a high level, ad rank must contain 6 factors: your bid, the quality of your ads and landing page, the Ad Rank thresholds, the competitiveness of an auction, the context of the person’s search and the expected impact from your ad assets and other ad formats

Bid Amount Reduction

If the bid amount for relevant keywords is reduced, it can directly impact Ad Rank. Lower bids may result in lower ad positions and reduced visibility.

Decreased Ad Quality
A decline in expected clickthrough rate, ad relevance, or landing page experience can lower the Quality Score, thereby reducing Ad Rank. Regularly optimizing ad creatives and landing pages is essential.
