Google Ads Copywriting
What ad copywriting includes
Responsive ads
- Headlines
We write up to 15 short headlines of 30 characters: with the service, a benefit, price, timing and trust. Google matches them to each query.
- Descriptions
Up to 4 descriptions of 90 characters expand the offer: what is included, how you differ and what to do next.
- Pinning
If a line must always appear, for example the service name, we pin it to the first position.
Result: the ad adapts to the query.
City and benefit
- City in the headline
We add the city or district so people see straight away that you are close. For several cities we use automatic location insertion.
- A concrete benefit
Instead of “quality and affordable” we write facts: timing, guarantee, a “from” price, free visit or consultation.
- Call to action
Each ad ends with a clear step: call, get a quote, book. People know what happens after the click.
Result: clicks from people the offer suits.
Testing and rating
- Ad strength
Google rates each ad from “Poor” to “Excellent”. We aim for a good rating so the ad is shown more often.
- Headline report
We see which headlines Google shows more often and which bring enquiries. Weak ones are replaced with new variants.
- Policy check
We check texts against Google’s advertising policies before submitting, so ads do not get stuck in review.
Result: ads improve over time.
A template ad or an ad with a benefit
Most search ads look alike. The difference between them shows in the cost per click and the share of enquiries.
| Template | With a benefit and city | |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | “Quality services at low prices” | “Pipe replacement in 1 day — Your City” |
| What the customer sees | Just another ad among many | An answer to their question and a reason to choose you |
| Click-through rate | Below average | Higher thanks to specifics |
| Cost per click | Rises due to a low quality score | Falls thanks to a high quality score |
When to rewrite your ads
Ads show, but nobody clicks
If there are many impressions and few clicks, the ad does not grab attention: it looks like its neighbours or does not answer the query. People choose a competitor without even reading your offer.
We rewrite headlines for the query and add a concrete benefit. This usually lifts the click-through rate quickly and lowers the cost per click.
Signs
- Low CTR at a good position
- An ad without price or timing
- No words from the query
- Texts like everyone else’s
Google rates the ad poorly
A “Poor” or “Average” rating means Google lacks headline variants or they are too similar. The ad shows less often and clicks cost more.
We add headlines that differ in meaning: with the service, a benefit, trust and a call to action. The rating rises, and impressions with it.
What we add
- Headlines with words from queries
- Price or timing
- Reviews and experience
- A call to action
You have a new offer or promotion
Old ads keep talking about what is no longer relevant. The customer sees one thing in the ad and another on the site, and leaves.
We update the texts for the new offer and, if needed, run a promotion ad for a limited time so it switches off by itself.
What we consider
- Promotion dates
- Matching the site text
- Promotion assets
- Separate tracking of promotion enquiries
You work in several cities
One shared ad without a city looks less convincing in each of them. People search for “near me” and see a faceless text.
We add location insertion: in each city the ad automatically shows its name. The texts stay shared but look local.
What you get
- The city name in the headline
- Shared texts for all areas
- Less manual work
- More trust in the ad
Review keeps rejecting your ads
Google rejects ads for promises, unproven superlatives, extra symbols and restricted topics. While an ad is under review or disapproved, the advertising does not work.
We rewrite the texts following the policies, keeping the benefit but without forbidden wording. Ads pass review the first time.
Common reasons for rejection
- “Best” and “number one” without proof
- Excess capitals and symbols
- A phone number in the text
- Restricted topics
How we write ads
Six steps: from the benefits of your offer to ads proven by enquiries.
Benefits
We find out how you beat competitors and what matters to the customer.
Competitors
We look at competitors’ ads so as not to repeat them.
Headlines and descriptions
We write up to 15 headlines and 4 descriptions for each group.
City and price
We add the location, a “from” price, timing and a call to action.
Review
We check the texts against Google’s policies and the site.
Testing
After 2–3 weeks we replace weak headlines using the report.
Who it is for
What you get
You get ads that answer the customer’s query and show why they should choose you: with a benefit, the city, a price or timing and a clear next step. Each query group has its own texts, checked against Google’s policies. In a few weeks we know which wording brings enquiries and strengthen it.
What to know before you start
Let’s write ads people want to click
Ad copywriting is included in campaign setup and launch, and we add assets and images to the ads straight away. The consultation is free: first we go through your offer and competitors, then we name the price and timeline.
All Google Ads servicesFrequently asked questions about ad copy
- What is a responsive search ad?
An ad where you provide up to 15 headlines and 4 descriptions, and Google picks the best combination for each query and person.
- How many ads does a group need?
Usually one or two well-filled responsive ads are enough. Variety of headlines matters more than the number of ads.
- Can a price be shown in the ad?
Yes, and it often raises the share of enquiries: people understand the price level in advance. The price in the ad must match the site.
- How do I add a city to the ad?
Type it in manually or use location insertion: Google then fills in the city where the ad is being shown.
- Why does Google reject ads?
Most often because of unproven superlatives, excess symbols and capitals, a phone number in the text or restricted topics. We write texts with these rules in mind.
- How do I know which ad is better?
By enquiries, not clicks. We look at the headline report and the share of enquiries and replace weak variants.
- Should ads be written in several languages?
If your customers search in different languages, yes, and separately for each language. More on the page about ads in several languages.
