Structure Responsive Search Ads Properly

The first step to fantastic responsive search ads is having a structure, almost like a template.

What do I mean by this? Let me explain.

As you probably already know, Google gives you the opportunity to create 12 headlines. Now, will those say the same thing?
Only if you don´t know what you´re doing!

The right structure involves including the following:

These will be 4 groups of unique headlines, totaling 12.

What you want to do next is to pin headlines 1, 2, and 3 in that same order.
By doing this, you´re insuring that Google shows the ad following a sequence.

This sequence has proven to convert since it follows a natural progression for humans, in the way we make decisions.

Also, you can use the same tactic for descriptions.

Use All Available Fields

Here´s the truth…

Most advertisers on Google get lazy. Maybe it has happened to you too.

When you´re paying for customers, there is no room for complacency or laziness.
What does this have to do with responsive search ads?

I´ve seen over and over again, advertisers creating these ads and only including 4 or 5 headlines and 1 or 2 descriptions.

Don´t get lazy!
If you´re going to create a responsive search ad, use all the fields.

Imagine this, if someone offered you $100 and another $10,000 to start a company, what would you choose?
So, you want to give yourself as many chances as possible to capture an ad click.

Look At The Search Terms Report

In the past few weeks, Google announced a change in the number of terms you see on the search terms report.

However, it doesn`t mean you should quit looking at that report.

In fact, you can benefit the most from constantly diving in there and look for keywords you can add to your responsive search ads.

The goal here to make your ads more profitable!
If you notice your quality score is on the low side, this could help improve it.

Also, don´t forget to do a proper keyword research before hand.

Employ Different Selling Points

You already know you should be using benefits in your responsive search ads.
Furthermore, it´s equally important to add different value propositions.

One of the most important responsive search ads best practices is variety. How does it make a difference, exactly?

• Different-sized headlines
• Benefits
• Different ways to position your offer
• Social proof
• Guarantees

For example, there´s no point in having 12 headlines saying the same thing. It will only hurt your conversion rate.

Use Keywords In The Display Path

This is another simple and great way to increase ad relevance.

Being ad relevance part of quality score and knowing it affects ad costs, you should really consider this best practice.

For instance, if you´re selling shoes, your display URL could look like this: www.example.com/mens/shoes.

The purpose is to take advantage of every space Google gives you to make sure you get the most out of your advertising efforts.

Again, don´t get lazy, use all the advantages you can get.

Start Creating More Profitable Responsive Search Ads

But remember, the tactics without execution are worthless.
Go out there, use these tips and I guarantee you´ll have more profitable ads in no time.
