Ad Rank
The short answer
Ad Rank is the score Google Ads uses to decide where your ad appears on the page, and whether it shows at all — calculated from your bid combined with your Quality Score and expected ad format impact.
Full explanation
Because Quality Score factors so heavily into Ad Rank, a well-optimized, relevant ad can outrank a competitor with a higher raw bid but a lower-quality experience behind it.
