Ad Quality Ranking Dimensions
Dimensions | Description |
Facebook Quality Ranking | Quality ranking explains how your ad's perceived quality is compared to the ads competing for the same audience. It is measured via various signals, including feedback from people viewing or hiding the ad and assessments of low-quality attributes in the ad, such as too much text in the ad's image, withholding information, sensationalized language, and engagement bait. |
Facebook Conversion Rate Ranking | Conversion rate ranking explains how your ad's expected conversion rate is compared to the ads with the same optimization goal competing for the same audience. The expected conversion rate calculates the likelihood that a person who viewed your ad will complete your optimization goal. |
Facebook Engagement Rate Ranking | Engagement rate ranking explains how your ad's expected engagement rate is compared to the ads competing for the same audience. The expected engagement rate calculates the likelihood that a person will click, react to, comment on, share, or expand an ad. |
Ad Quality Ranking Categorization
Ad Quality is measured through various signals such as feedback from people viewing or hiding your Ads and assessments of quality attributes like too much text in an ad's image or an engagement bait.
Given below are the possible values for the Ad Quality Ranking dimensions (where average represents the 35th to 55th percentile):
Above average
Average
Below average (bottom 35% of ads)
Below average (bottom 20% of ads)
Below average (bottom 10% of ads)
For example, if your Ad is in the bottom 20%, i.e below average; it denotes that the perceived quality of your ad as compared to other ads competing for the same target audience was amongst the lowest 20% of ads. At least 80% of ads competing for the same audience were perceived as higher quality.
Use Cases
Reviewing the quality ranking diagnostics will give you a better insight as to reviewing each diagnostic individually. It is more impactful to move a ranking from low to average than it is to move from average to above average, so focus on improving rankings that are low rather than on improving average rankings.
If you use Ad Quality Ranking dimensions for any Time Range within Ads Reporting to capture the average ranking of your Facebook Ads, it will provide you with the data for the last 3 Days preset. You can also configure these ranking fields as Columns at the Ad Variant level within Ads Manager.
Given below is a table that will assist you in drawing inferences from a combination of ad quality ranking diagnostics.
