Quality Score Improvement Guide

Diagnose and fix each Quality Score component with specific actions.

Expected CTR

Highest weight

Google's estimate of how likely your ad is to be clicked relative to competitors at the same position.

Below Average (1–3)

Rewrite headlines with a stronger value proposition. Add numbers, power words, and a clear CTA. Test at least 3 headline variations.

Average (4–6)

Your CTR is acceptable but improvable. A/B test headline formats (questions vs. statements vs. numbers). Add ad extensions to take up more SERP space.

Above Average (7–10)

Maintain by continuing to test new headlines. Don't change what's working, but keep adding variants to avoid creative fatigue.
