It also relates to the people viewing your content, where your ad will be located on the page, and how much Google is going to charge you for your ad location.
High quality scores (7-10) result when Google deems your landing page, keywords, and ads as something worthwhile for people to check out. It means that each of these things are useful and highly relevant to the keywords you’ve purchased. The great thing about high quality scores is that they lower your click costs.
