In plain English
Meta reports it as three rankings against comparable advertisers: quality, engagement rate and conversion rate. Each is a percentile rather than a score.
Read together they locate the problem. Low quality points at the creative; low engagement points at the audience match; low conversion points at the landing page or offer.
What to know
Three rankings
Quality, engagement rate, conversion rate.
Relative
Compared against similar advertisers.
Diagnostic
Each points at a different fix.
Affects cost
Poor relevance raises what you pay.
Why it matters
These three rankings are the fastest diagnosis available in Ads Manager. Most advertisers never look at them, then guess at what to change.
Common mistakes
×Ignoring the rankings entirely.
×Changing creative when the conversion ranking was the low one.
×Treating them as absolute scores.
×Expecting instant change after edits.
FAQs
Which ranking matters most?
Whichever is lowest. That names the problem.
Does relevance affect cost?
Yes. Poor relevance makes auctions more expensive.
