Google Ads landing page experience, explained

What Google Ads' landing page experience status means, the three ratings, how it relates to Quality Score, and how to fix a below-average page.

Landing page experience is Google Ads' estimate of how relevant and useful your landing page will be to people who click your ad. Each keyword gets one of three ratings: above average, average or below average. Below average is Google's signal to improve the page.

The three ratings

How it relates to Quality Score

Quality Score is Google's 1–10 diagnostic of your ad quality per keyword, calculated from three parts: expected clickthrough rate, ad relevance and landing page experience. Google is clear that Quality Score itself "is not an input in the ad auction": it's a diagnostic that shows where to improve.

What Google says good pages do

Google's guidance is to make the landing page clear and useful, and related to the keyword and what people are searching for. Pages rated higher are usually well organised, with text that relates to the search.

How we fix a below-average page

  • Match the page to the keyword: one page per main service, not one page for everything
  • Answer the search in the first screen
  • Make it fast on phones
  • Show prices or a clear next step
  • Remove anything that gets in the way: pop-ups, auto-playing sound, broken links
FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where do I see landing page experience?

In Google Ads, for each keyword, as part of the Quality Score details.

Will a better page lower my costs?

Google doesn't promise that. It treats Quality Score as a diagnostic, so use it to find the pages to fix.

Do you build Google Ads landing pages?

Yes, and we run Google Ads too. Landing pages are built in our Launch package.
