Quality Score in Facebook?
They Call it Relevance!
What does relevance mean in Facebook?
Similar to Adword’s quality score, it attempts to measure audience response.
Calculated after you achieve 500 or more impressions on a score of 1-10.
How to use it?
Higher relevancy score can lead to more impressions and cheaper CPC’s.
Ad Exhaustion – Relevancy number declining over time? Time for a new ad.
Test Creative – Test ads against audiences to find higher relevancy scores.
Issues?
You can get good performance with a lower relevancy score.
A good relevance score with a high bid will beat out an excellent relevance score with
a low bid.
