When you want to keep an eye on the quality of your Google Ads account, you can look at the quality score of your keywords. But realize that this is a snapshot. And unfortunately there is no graph available in Google Ads with the historical values ​​of the Quality Score (QS).

PPC Epiphany has built a solution for this. With this script the quality score is retrieved from your account every day and saved. As a result, you will eventually see a graph showing the development of the quality score of your account. An indispensable script if you want to rate your account and see where you can improve.

How the script works

When you set up this script on your account, it automatically creates a folder in Google Drive. A quarterly document is placed here containing the collected quality scores for all keywords in your account per day. In addition, one spreadsheet is created that serves as a dashboard and overview with the averages per date. The graphs in the overview provide insight into the development of the QS over time and the distribution of QS in the account.

Do you want to use this script at MCC level for multiple accounts? We have made an adjustment for this in the script.

Scheduling: Set the script to run 1x every day. This way you collect all the necessary information from the account.
