Your ad copy is important because:
- It serves as your company’s introduction to potential customers.
- It indicates the quality of your web site and can help users to decide whether to click on your ad.
- Effective ads can increase the likelihood of meeting your customers’ needs, which can lead to a higher conversion rate (i.e., a higher rate of clicks turning into paying customers).
Three easy ways to write better ads
- Include the keyword in the title and description. You can do this easily by using our insert keyword feature, which enables you to insert a code into your titles that will automatically be replaced by the keyword.
- In search results on Yahoo! and other sites in our distribution partner network, your keyword will be bolded when it appears in your title and description.
- Our research indicates that customers are 50% more likely to click on ads that include the keyword.
- If possible, start the title with the keyword.
- Describe the product or service precisely.
