Your guide to responsive search ads

Responsive search ads let you create ads that adapt to show more relevant messages to your customers. Enter multiple headlines and descriptions when creating a responsive search ad, and over time, Google Ads tests different combinations and learns which combinations perform best. With the feedback provided from the Ad Strength feature, you can refine your headlines and descriptions so ads resonate even better with your customers.

In this article, you’ll learn how to find resources that can help you set up, edit, and optimize your responsive search ads to ensure the best results for your campaign.

Benefits | Why you should use responsive search ads

Responsive search ads help you:

  • Create flexible ads that adapt to device widths, giving you more room to share your message with potential customers.
  • Save time by providing multiple headline and description options, allowing Google Ads to show the most relevant combinations to your customers.
  • Tailor your headlines and descriptions to your customers' locations, regular locations, or locations of interest.
  • Reach more potential customers with multiple headline and description options that give your ads the chance to compete in more auctions and match more queries.
