Google recently announced that, starting June 30, 2022, content makers will no longer be able to create or edit expanded text ads (ETAs). Google notes that existing ETAs will continue to serve, and performance reports will still be available. They recommend that creators include a minimum of one responsive search ad in every ad group in your search campaigns by June 30, 2022.
This will impact campaign optimization, ad serves, and likely what your ads look like to prospective customers. Beyond the granular change to how ad campaigns are set up, this update also reflects the expanding role of artificial intelligence (AI) in Google Ads marketing. Understanding the impact AI will have on campaigns and your ads, and working within the AI requirements, takes skill and detailed analytics.
The key takeaway: with more focus on responsive search ads, it is more crucial than ever to have a solid B2B Google Ads strategy plan in place. We can help.
What are Responsive Search Ads?
Google ad creators enter assets (like headlines, descriptions, images, and logos) and Google programmatically deploys various iterations of the ad. According to Google, “responsive ads fit just about any ad space across the Display Network and can take on native formatting to match the tone and feel of the websites they show on.” Large available space may result in an ad with a headline, description and asset, while in a small space, the ad simply may appear as text only.
While setting up and running your responsive search ads may actually seem like a simple process, having a certified Google Partner agency like Stifel Marcin to help manage the complexities of your pay-per-click (PPC) advertising campaigns is critical to long-term success.
