What Quality Score Pilot tests

Quality Score Pilot is an auction. Each of the 12 lots puts a common Google Ads belief up against what Google documents, and you decide how much of your Rs 10,000 per lot to bet on each. Confident and right doubles your money. A 50/50 hedge never wins a lot. The lots cover how broad match and negatives behave, what Quality Score and Ad Strength really do, what Smart Bidding needs before it can work, and where to look when budget leaks. The 4 pillars are account structure, ads and relevance, bidding and conversions, and landing pages and measurement.

Every answer comes from Google Ads Help, and each lot links to the exact page. Sources were read on 9 Nov 2026. The rupee amounts are game money, not a model of real CPCs.
