Ad Relevance Score

A platform rating of how well your ad matches your target audience.

Why It Matters

Higher relevance scores reduce ad costs and increase delivery.

How It Works

Platforms like Meta evaluate positive and negative feedback signals on your ad to calculate a relevance or quality ranking. More relevant ads get shown more often at lower costs.

Real-World Example

A Meta ad with "Above Average" quality ranking reaches 40% more people at the same budget.

Common Mistakes
