Expanded Text Ads
• Write Specific Copy
• Feature Unique Selling Points
• Connect Your Ad & Landing Page
Make sure your messaging really targets what users will be searching for. Using your keywords in your copy is a good way to do this.
Think about how you’re different or better than your competitors. Use those unique selling points – like a promotion you may be running or “free quote” as the basis of your ad copy
Your ad should click through to a page that has the same messaging. If people click on an ad that says, “Get 25% off striped socks today” then they should land on a 25% off striped socks page
