Don't Let Google Mess Up Your Google Search Ads

Google now adds “AUTOMATED ASSETS” to your ads without asking.

  • Google adds random text and page links from your website.

  • Distracts from your desired sales pitches for specific keywords.

  • Creates complex text that’s difficult to read on cell phones.

  • You don’t know what ad people see, so you don’t know what works.

Force Google to display your ads the way you want.

You want every ad to laser focus on your product and business advantages.

  • People see their own search words in Headline 1 and Headline 2.

  • People see why your product is better in Description 1.

  • People see why doing business with you is better in 2 Call Out Extensions.

  • People always go to your desired landing page – not a random Sitelink page.

GET RID OF DISTRACTING ASSETS (Extensions)

Go to Your Search Ads Campaign > Ads and Assets > Assets

Now you see the Assets page.

  • Table View = Associations  Upgraded = All.

  • Callout > You should only have two Callout assets on the list.

  • To change a Callout > scroll over the Callout and click on the Edit pen.

What are Callouts? 

  • Text that is sometimes added to the end of any ad in your search campaign.

  • So it should apply to any product.

  • And explain why it’s better to work with your business than competitors.
