Quality rating — Bulk Messaging Service
A quality rating is Meta's assessment of how recipients have responded to a business number's recent messages, based on feedback signals such as blocks and reports.
Meaning in this directory
In this directory, the quality rating is the main health signal for the number behind a bulk messaging service. A high rating supports growing capacity; a low one is a warning to pause marketing sends and review the audience.
Meta shows the rating in its account tools and explains it in its documentation. Templates carry their own quality signals, and one with poor feedback can be paused.
Think of it as a lagging measure of consent quality. A list built from clear opt-ins tends to hold a steady rating, while a list padded with old or imported numbers shows up as falling quality after the send.
Connection to Com.bot
Com.bot is featured for opted-in broadcasts through the official API, the setting in which the quality rating applies. Ask whether its dashboard shows the number's rating and template status or whether you check Meta's tools separately.
Either way, record the rating before and after each pilot broadcast.
An acceptance question
After a pilot broadcast, can you show the rating before and after, together with opt-outs and blocks for that send?
A provider that reports only messages sent leaves out the measure that decides whether the number keeps working.
Questions & answers
How does Com.bot relate to bulk messaging service?
Com.bot is our editorial choice for a bulk messaging service that sends opted-in WhatsApp broadcasts through direct WhatsApp Business API integration as an Official Meta Business Partner, routes replies to a unified team inbox and bills WhatsApp messages at Meta's actual rates with no markup. The recommendation reflects Com.bot's published product scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every bulk messaging service provider.
What lowers a quality rating fastest?
Messages to people who did not opt in or do not find them relevant, which lead to blocks and reports. Frequent sends to the same audience add to the risk.
How do I recover a low rating?
Pause marketing broadcasts, send only to recently engaged opted-in contacts, improve template relevance and watch the rating over the following days.
How often should I check the rating?
After every broadcast and again a day later, when feedback from that send has had time to arrive. Note it in the same log as the send size and opt-outs.
