Titles and Descriptions

Write clear, factual and objective ads that accurately describe what is offered on your site. When writing titles and descriptions, keep in mind the following:

  • Clearly explain how your offer specifically relates to the keywords you have chosen. To improve your click-through rates, include the keyword in your title and description where possible.
  • Write ads that closely relate to the content on your landing page. This helps ensure a high quality experience for users and better results for you.
  • Accurately describe what the user will find at your site.
  • Use correct spelling, punctuation and grammar.
