Description
Quality Score is a diagnostic tool meant to give you a sense of how well your ad quality compares to other advertisers.

This score is measured on a scale from 1-10 and available at the keyword level. A higher Quality Score means that your ad and landing page are more relevant and useful to someone searching for your keyword, compared to other advertisers.
Why it is important
You can use the Quality Score diagnostic tool to identify where it might be beneficial to improve your ads, landing pages, or keyword selection.
Formula
This score given by Google
Calculation example
Let's consider three hypothetical ads for the keyword 'running shoes,' each with a different Quality Score:

Ad A has a Quality Score of 7/10.
Ad B has a Quality Score of 5/10.
Ad C has a Quality Score of 9/10.

In this example:
Ad C has the highest Quality Score, indicating that Google perceives it as highly relevant and valuable to users searching for 'running shoes.'
Ad A has a decent Quality Score, suggesting good relevance but with room for improvement.
Ad B has a lower Quality Score, indicating potential issues with relevance or user experience.

Possible causes of worsening
Low Ad Relevance
If the content of your ad is not closely aligned with the user's search intent, it can result in a lower Quality Score. Regularly review and optimize ad copy to ensure relevance to targeted keywords.

Poor Landing Page Experience
An unoptimized or irrelevant landing page can contribute to a lower Quality Score. Ensure that landing pages provide a seamless and valuable experience for users, aligning with ad content.
