What is Quality Score in Google Ads?

Quality Score is Google Ads’ rating, from 1 to 10, of how relevant a keyword, its ad and its landing page are to the person searching.

Why it matters

Google calculates it from the expected click-through rate, the relevance of the ad and the experience on the landing page. A higher score usually means a lower cost per click for the same position.

How we handle it

We group keywords tightly, write ads that repeat the searcher’s words and send each group to a page built for it. This is where paid search and SEO meet, because a page that answers the search well helps both.
