In Google Ads, Quality Score (QS) is the single most important metric that determines your Cost Per Click. A drop from QS 10 to QS 5 can double your costs overnight. Yet, most advertisers only check this metric once a month,or worse, only when they notice their budget is bleeding.
By the time you notice a QS drop manually, you have already overpaid for thousands of clicks. The damage is done.
The solution is a Quality Score Tracker Script.
- Historical Logging: Google doesn’t easily show you QS history day-by-day. A script can log the QS of your top keywords into a Google Sheet every 24 hours.
- Alerting: Configure the script to send you an email or Slack notification the moment a keyword with significant spend drops below a QS of 7.
- Diagnosis: Knowing when it happened helps you solve why. Did it drop right after you changed the ad copy? Or after the site speed slowed down?
You cannot fix what you do not track. Stop treating Quality Score like a monthly report card and start treating it like a livestock ticker.
