As promised on the Inside Adwords blog, Adwords accounts are now showing Quality Score data for each ad and its keyword.
I first noticed the Quality Score data across all of my active accounts yesterday.
Each ad and keyword’s Quality Score shows its status – whether the ads are showing or not as well as its numeric Quality Score.
I have found Adwords Quality scores ranging from 9 down through 2.
I am not sure whether Adwords assigns a Quality Score of 10 to any ads and keywords performance. Nor am I sure whether they score any ad and keyword below 2.
If Adwords does, I haven’t yet found any examples to share.
Within the new Adwords Quality scoring system, ads and keywords which score 9 and 8 are considered “Great”.
Adwords Quality Score 9
Adwords Quality Score 8
Ads and keywords showing 7, 6 and 5 are “OK”.
Quality Score 7
Quality Score 6
Quality Score 5
Ads and their keywords with Quality scores of 4, 3 and 2 are considered “Poor”.
Quality Score 4+No
Quality Score 3 No+Poor
Quality Score 2 No+Poor
I have found examples of OK Quality Scores where the ad and its keywords weren’t being shown for numerous reasons.
Additionally, I have found examples of ads and their keywords being shown while still having a Poor Quality Score.
Having numeric Adwords Quality Scores for each ad and keyword will surely help Google Adwords deliver more relevant and targeted advertising while also helping their advertisers score more targeted search traffic.
