Ad Rank

Ad Rank is the value Google Ads calculates to determine an ad's position in the search results and whether it is shown at all. The value combines bid, ad quality, the context of the search and the expected impact of ad extensions. Ad Rank is recalculated in every single auction.

An advertiser with high ad quality can achieve a better position than a competitor with a higher bid, because Ad Rank weighs more than bid size alone.
