Vastly larger text ads, both in content and the real estate they occupy, have made their way to Google and Bing. Ads can now have up to three, 30 character headlines and two, 90 character description lines. Along with ad extensions, the entire ad unit is now an even greater pitch than ever before for users to click. Making the right use of this extra ad space is crucial to gaining the right clicks. Though advertisers have always used the latest and greatest features, these larger text ads present an excellent opportunity to include additional pertinent information in your copy.
