Ad Rank

The value Google uses to decide ad position and whether your ad shows at all.

Ad Rank = bid × Quality Score components (+ expected impact of formats and extensions).

Because Quality Score is a multiplier, improving relevance can beat raising bids. It also lowers the price you pay to hold a position.

MyAd surfaces the auctions where you lose to competitors on rank despite competitive bids.
