We answer the following questions in our video tutorial where we discuss quality scores and ad rank:

What is Google AdWords Quality Score?

We first start by giving you the quality score definition so you know exactly what it is. If you are not familiar with quality scores for your Google AdWords ads, they are a 1-10 scale that gives a score to the keywords you are targeting based on historical campaign performance and campaign organization.


How is Google AdWords Quality Score Calculated?

Quality score is calculated based on your expected click-through rate, ad relevance, and landing page experience. Google AdWords uses a variety of factors including your campaign performance, how relevant your ads are to your keywords and landing pages, and the overall landing page experience on desktop and mobile devices. The better your campaigns are organized, the better your landing pages match your keywords, and how you can improve your click-through-rate for your campaigns over time. If you have better performing campaigns than your competitors for the same keywords, you are likely to have better and higher quality scores.

How does Google AdWords Quality Score Impact Campaigns?

Quality score is used along with your bid to determine your ad rank. Higher quality scores will help lead to lower costs for your campaign. Google AdWords will use your history quality scores more than your current quality scores during your campaign. When you enter the ad auction, Google AdWords will use your historical campaign performance.

Should You Optimize for Google AdWords Quality Score?

Yes, you should because high quality scores of 7, 8, 9, or 10 can represent an organized campaign and positive historical campaign performance. Since quality scores use expected click-through rate, ad relevance, and landing page experience, high quality scores would indicate you are giving users a good user experience. In addition, higher quality scores can help you get more for your money. Ad rank takes into account your quality score and your keyword bid so you can actually bid lower than your competitors if you have high quality scores.
