What are responsive search ads?

Responsive search ads are Google’s most pliable, latest update. Responsive search ads are the type of ads that allows you to add more text in your ad. Unlike text ad in this ad type, you can add 15 different headlines and 4 divergent descriptions. Descriptions and headlines together form up to 43 thousand different combinations. Google ads test different combinations which they combine with given headlines and give the best possible results. If you’ve added relevant keywords in your text, then it is more likely that your potential customer will find your product through their search query which is more likely to improve your campaign’s performance.

Responsive search ads are available in beta and may not be available for all AdWords advertisers. Once it goes live for everyone you can create responsive search ads by clicking on blue “+” icon under “ads & extensions”.

Pin Important Headlines and Descriptions :

When you want to highlight any specific headline with every ad then make sure you add on pin to that important headline or description.

This pinned headline will remain constant and will be shown with every advertisement plus with this, other 2 headlines will also be shown depending on the search query.

How to Pin your Headline or Description –

pin headline or description in Google ads
  • While  writing the headline you’ll be able to see the pin icon in the right
  • By clicking this icon you’ll receive several other options to make your headline visible
  • Also, works similarly to important description text

This pinned headline will appear in the headline like a priority, preventing other headlines from showing in its place. It is suggested that you pin 2 to 3 headlines and descriptions so that it will keep changing according to the search query entered by a person looking for that particular product/service on Google. This will help you in A/B testing the performance of these pinned headlines and descriptions, which will help your brand improve its CTR.

Google is tirelessly coming up with new updates and we like the way it experiments with its modules for running ads.
