Anatomy of Google Display Ads

google display

The change of display ads over the years has helped many advertisers along the way. Designs and sizes must be crafted by hand to meet Google’s stringent requirement on display advertising. Now, advertisers will simply upload an individual asset of recommended sizes and Google will do the magic based on the images uploaded.

Google used to have a wide variation of dimensions to fit different display ads placing available. A missing sizing would reduce our chance of appearing in a prominent place which may end up converting to a valuable lead.

These static sizes are still being used to be targeted specifically. Some advertisers prefer to have a wide net casting strategy to enable a responsive display ad to be appearing in almost all eligible places.

Why not? More placements more eyeballs from the public which may lead to a closure in sales. These are the sizes of static display ads and recommended display ads sizing.

  • Long Headline Keep a safe number of less than 90 characters in terms of long headline
  • Descriptions A detailed explanation to engage your audience with up to a total of 5 different description of your ads of maximum 90 characters
  • Business Name Short and sweet name for your business. It would be sad if your character exceeds 25 characters as google set a limit to business names. Thus keep it short and simple or use abbreviations if needed
