Best ADWORDS


Expanded text ads are optimized for the screen sizes of the most popular smartphones. They feature two headlines, each with 30 characters, and one long 80-character description line. It’s a lot more space for you to highlight your products and services.

As you make the transition from standard text ads to expanded text ads, there are a couple of things to keep in mind.
+ Test multiple versions of expanded text ads,
+ Remember lessons learned from standard text ads,
+ Focus your ad tests on your headlines,
+ Leave your standard ads running.

Take Advantage


When taking advantage of expanded text ads, you’ll want to follow these guidelines:
+ Create ad text that appeals to users across devices,
+ Use your character limits, and
+ Focus on your headlines

Writind

As you adjust to the new mechanics of expanded text ads, there are certain things to consider when writing your ad copy itself.
Namely, you want to show value to a user without coming across as pushy. But how can you do that?
+ Rethink your entire ad creative,
+ Craft messaging that focuses on user needs and benefits, and
+ Avoid generic sales language in your ads.

TRANSCRIPT:

00:06
- Hello world, welcome to our ongoing video series on the Google Display Network. My name is Tran Ngo and I'm a product marketing manager here at Google focused on display best practices.

In this video we're going to go over how to optimize for better display performance. I'll be covering three things:

+ First, audit your site categories for irrelevant content.
+ Second, optimize your placements with the Placements Performance Report.
+ Third, surface relevant technical issues with the Account Set-up Dashboard.

00:39
First, you'll want to audit your site categories. Most brands would want to exclude sensitive content, error pages, parked domains, or forums. You can add these exclusions through the display network tab of the AdWords User Interface.

00:54 
Second, you'll want to review your Placement Performance Report to identify irrelevant or underperforming placements. Look for placements that are off-brand or are consuming budget but not driving any conversions. 

If you're using Remarketing, avoid adding placement exclusions. If someone's expressed interest in your business, you want to have as few constraints as possible.

01:19
Lastly, you can surface any relevant technical issues in the account setup dashboard in the summary tab of the AdWords User Interface. Here you can find common pitfalls like low bids, inactive tags, budget limits, and more.

01:36
So let's recap on how to optimize your display performance.
+ First, audit your site categories for irrelevant content.
+ Second, optimize your placements with the Placement Performance Report.
+ Third, surface relevant technical issues with the Account Set-up Dashboard.

This brings us to the end of our video series for Google Display Network Best Practices. I hope you enjoyed this and can apply these tips to your campaigns.

Setup

A well-written ad is only one component of the ad unit that competes in the auction. There are several steps you can take to give your expanded text ads the best possible chance at success. Three things that can make your ads more appealing: ad extensions, keyword insertion and ad customizers

Test and Optimizeation

Well-written ad creative starts out as great only in theory. It’s up to your actual performance to see what users respond to.
It’s important to establish a robust testing and optimization process.
Do that through three key steps:
+ Test and iterate your ad creative,
+ Focus your testing efforts on high-value campaigns, and
+ Evaluate your ad rotation settings.
