Dynamic search ad format: when is it relevant and when is it not?

Dynamic Search Ads provide an opportunity to attract potential buyers who are looking for your company's products or services. This ad format is perfect for online stores and catalogs, companies that provide a wide range of services.

Any Google ad account with a large number of keywords will have lower reach. That is why it is worth using this tool.

The use of Dynamic Search Ads is not relevant if:

• the website is constantly undergoing updates or contains a large number of Flash elements;

• your industry - pharmaceuticals and healthcare, gambling or adult content, alcohol and tobacco (limited screenings);

• registration is required to gain free access to the bulk of the information on the site.

Make sure your Google AdWords campaigns comply with all the applicable Google Ads policies and regulations.

Expert tips to help you before creating and launching a campaign

For your dynamic search ad campaigns to be effective, you should:

• Optimize your website before starting, since the quality of the ads also depends on the quality of the resource.

• Take care of the mobile version of the site, because Dynamic Ads are shown to users who have logged in from smartphones.

• Create attractive selling descriptions for your ads. For your ad to be able to interest potential customers, study the information on creating such ad texts.

• Remember: one language - one advertising campaign If your web resource contains 2 language versions or more, and you intend to set up contextual advertising on each of its pages, then create a separate advertising campaign for each version.

2.2. Write a name for the group and specify a targeting rule, which is configured based on the content of the website pages:

• To specific URLs. If this is the first time you decided to create Dynamic Ads and you need to analyze their performance indicators, enter the URL of the main page.

• On pages whose URLs include certain words. For example: flower-delivery (site.md/flower-delivery-in-chisinau/ site.md/flower delivery-in-cahul/; site.md/flower-delivery/roses)

Information from Google Ads Help:

If this is your first time setting up this type of ad, follow the guidelines and start by choosing your target web pages - All Pages. This will help increase traffic to your website.

Note! You have the opportunity to set the necessary categories and a method for grouping similar site pages. If this is the first time setting these categories, they will appear in your Google ad account within 24 hours.

You can also specify the exact URLs, which will allow you to customize the targeting to specific pages on your website. But this can lead to limiting and reducing the volume of traffic.

Important! Be careful with specifying certain URLs. If you enter an incorrect or inoperative (the page has been deleted) page address, your ad will be rejected and, accordingly, the ad will not start showing.

If you do not use automatic bidding, please indicate their adjustments. This will give you control over how your advertisements appear.

2.3. Click "Save and continue" and start creating ads.

3. Creating Dynamic Search Ads

When creating them, write two descriptions, the maximum length of which is 90 characters. The final URL, title and display URL are automatically generated based on the settings from the targeting rules (paragraph 2.2).

Where the page is indicated (see screenshot above), you can preview the ad's appearance. To determine the most effective one, create and apply multiple dynamic ads at once.

To add a new Dynamic Search ad, proceed as follows:

"Ads and extensions" ►► "New ad" ►► "Dynamic search ad" and “Specify an ad group” ►► “ “Create an ad “►► "Save new ad".

With these types of advertisements, you don't just help your potential buyers quickly find what they are looking for in the Google search engine, but find it on your website.

To avoid mistakes when setting up contextual advertising, we recommend that you audit Google ads yourself or contact specialists.
