Why should every digital marketer learn how to create a Google text ad?<\/span><\/p>\n

Text ads, also known as search ads, appear on Google\u2019s search engine results pages (SERPs)<\/a> and in other locations throughout the Google search network. Presently, Google is the most popular search engine, processing almost 6 billion searches per day. Advertisers that use Google text ads as part of their PPC advertising<\/a> efforts gain access to this enormous audience and the ability to target their ads based on the search queries or keywords that users type into Google.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to PPC advertising, we\u2019ve created this essential guide to help you start using Google text ads to promote your products and services online. We\u2019ll explain what a Google text ad is, how the ad format is defined, Google text ad setup and basics, and <\/span>how to create ad copy<\/span><\/a> for your text ads.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Google Text Ad?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s what Google has to say about the definition of a Google text ad:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA text ad is a form of marketing communication that advertisers can use to promote their product or service on the Google Network.\u201d (<\/span>Source<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Google Network mentioned here is really two networks: the Google Display Network<\/a>, which supports image- or video-based banner ads, and the Google Search Network<\/a>, which exclusively supports Google text ads.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can view examples of Google text ads yourself by visiting the Google search engine, entering a search query of your choice, and scanning your results for text advertisements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"google<\/p>\n

This search for yellow running shoes returned four different types of results. The red box contains a Google text advertisement for the Puma shoe brand. The blue box contains Google image results. The orange box at the bottom contains organic search results from major online retailers. The green box on the right contains Google shopping results from a variety of online retailers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"google<\/p>\n

SERPs can contain more than one Google text ad, like this one for the search query \u201ccloud hosting\u201d which contains three text ads in the red box.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advertisers can customize their text ads to target specific keywords<\/a> or search queries on the network. When a user enters a targeted search query, Google calculates a metric called Ad Rank to determine which advertisements will be shown to the user. Ad Rank depends on advertiser bid amounts, auction-time, and overall ad quality score (based on landing page experience<\/a>, expected click-through rate, and relevance).<\/span><\/p>\n

Keyword targeting allows advertisers to target audiences with relevant text ads when they\u2019re actively searching for a specific product or service, thus increasing the probability of a click-through and a downstream conversion. Google bills advertisers based on the number of clicks they generate using the PPC advertising business model.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google Text Ad Format Explained<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that we\u2019ve explained how Google Text ads work and you\u2019ve seen a few examples, let\u2019s review the standard format for text ads on the Google network.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google won\u2019t allow advertisers to run ads that don\u2019t fit these formatting guidelines, so all online advertisers must figure out how to fit their desired marketing message into the character allotments that are provided. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/span><\/p>\n

For each text ad you create, you\u2019ll be able to include three headlines and two descriptions. You\u2019ll also be able to create a display URL for your text ad by creating path text that will appear after your domain name. Text ads include two fields for path text. Google imposes strict character limits for each of these components as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Text Ad Component<\/span><\/td>\nCharacter Limit<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Headline 1<\/span><\/td>\n30 characters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Headline 2<\/span><\/td>\n30 characters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Headline 3<\/span><\/td>\n30 characters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Description 1<\/span><\/td>\n90 characters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Description 2<\/span><\/td>\n90 characters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Path Text 1<\/span><\/td>\n15 characters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Path Text 2<\/span><\/td>\n15 characters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

While advertisers are encouraged to make the most of their character allotment, Google will not show all three headlines, and both descriptions each time one of your ad placements is triggered. Depending on the user\u2019s device, Google may show either all three headlines or just your first two. Google will try to show all 180 characters of your description, but a part of it may be cut off to fit the user\u2019s device.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Create a Google Text Ad\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before you can create a Google text ad, you\u2019ll need to finish setting up your Google Ads account. You can start the process by visiting the <\/span>Google Ads homepage<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve finished registration, you\u2019ll be able to access the Google advertising platform and create your first search advertising campaign. You\u2019ll need to create a search advertising campaign and at least one ad group before you can create your first text ads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"create<\/p>\n

When you reach step three of the campaign set-up, you\u2019ll discover Google\u2019s ad creation interface where you can start writing your text ads.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"google<\/p>\n

Google recommends that you create three distinct text ads for each of the ad groups you target in your campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to writing your headlines, descriptions, and path text, you\u2019ll be able to specify a final URL – the web address of the landing page where audiences will be redirected after clicking on your advertisement. You can use the ad preview tool on the right side of your screen to preview what your ad will look like when it appears for your audience on their search results.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Write More Effective Google Text Ads<\/span><\/h2>\n

Professional marketers spend years learning how to create ad copy that produces more clicks and conversions from their target audiences in paid search advertising. Here are just a few tips to help you get started:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Include a <\/span>strong call to action<\/b><\/a> that directly asks your target audience to click on your ad.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Include your target keywords in your ad copy to make your ads seem <\/span>highly relevant<\/b> to the user\u2019s search.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Use your headlines to grab your audience\u2019s attention by <\/span>appealing to their biggest pain points<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Create and <\/span>optimize landing pages<\/b> that align well with your ad and deliver on its promises.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Pay attention to any changes to your <\/span>ad quality score<\/b>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Offer something exciting or valuable<\/b> that encourages your audience to investigate further by clicking on your ad.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Create multiple text ads<\/b> for your campaigns and compare their performance. Experiment with different Google text ads in your marketing efforts and <\/span>measure results<\/b> to see which ones work the best.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
