Well, three key factors determine the quality of your ads. Before diving into the factors we’ll first learn about the quality scores of the ads.

The quality score of ads

It reflects how useful google and related search engines are finding your ads to be. All the keywords that you select for running your ads are ranked on a number from 1 to 10 which determines the quality of that particular keyword. Along with this, it also determines the quality of your landing page which is the actual determinant of the user experience.

Higher quality scores mean that the ads are of good quality and vice versa. This score also determines how much you need to bid for each keyword.

Quality scores are measured based on the collected data that you get from running your ads. The “—” sign represents the lack of data to measure the quality of that particular keyword.

Factors that determine the Ad Quality

Now, let’s have a look at the three major factors that determine the quality of our ad:

1. Expected Click Through Rate

Google assigns one of the following three statutes for the expected CTR

Below Average: Ad text and keywords should be adjusted.

Average: Your keyword does not have any major issue related to the expected CTR

Above Average: Your ad is running successfully and does not have any major problems.

How Google determines your expected CTR
