How It Works

1

Write your headlines

Add up to three headlines of 30 characters each. Lead with what people searched for.

2

Add descriptions

Use the two 90-character descriptions for benefits, proof and a clear call to action.

3

Check the preview

See how the ad reads together, and fix anything that's over the limit before you paste it in.

Google Ads character limits

Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters count double, so a Chinese headline fits about 15 characters.

What makes a search ad get clicked

Why doesn't Google always show my preview exactly like this?

Responsive search ads are assembled automatically, and Google may add sitelinks, call buttons or other assets. This preview shows one realistic combination so you can check the wording and lengths.

Can I pin a headline?

Yes, in Google Ads you can pin a headline to position 1, for example to always show your brand or a required disclaimer. Pinning reduces how much Google can test, so use it sparingly.
