Quality Score is a rating (usually on a scale of 1 to 10) assigned by advertising platforms that reflects the relevance of your keywords, ad copy, and landing page to a user's search. It impacts your ad rank and cost-per-click in paid search campaigns.
Quality Score is calculated based on three key factors: expected click-through rate (CTR), ad relevance, and landing page experience. While platforms don’t disclose the exact formula, improving each of these areas can boost your score.
While there is no exact formula, Quality Score is determined by three key components: Expected CTR, Ad Relevance, and Landing Page Experience.

A good Quality Score is typically 7 or higher. Scores of 8–10 suggest your ads are highly relevant and likely to achieve better placement at a lower cost.
A Quality Score below 5 indicates that your ads or landing pages are underperforming or irrelevant to user queries. This can lead to lower impressions and higher ad costs.
