Responsive search ads are the type of ads which allows you to present more information about the product/service by allowing you to write in multiple headlines and descriptions. It is quite different from the traditional type of ads where the information had to be so brief in order to write within 1 ad text.
In responsive ads you can write upto 15 headlines and upto 4 different descriptions. The process in responsive ads is quite simple, while creating responsive search ads, entering numbers of headlines and descriptions overtime, Google will automatically test different combinations and learn which one works the best.
If you make your ad content quite relevant or close to the potential customers’ search terms responsive ads tend to improve your campaign’s performance.
Responsive search ads are very beneficial because one can deliver more pieces of information to the customers and also saves time by allowing them to provide multiple headlines and descriptions, which you can make more better by customising them according to the customers location and interest.
Recently, Google has added new features to responsive search ads which one cannot definitely ignore! Read them as follows:
