On June 30, 2022, Google deprecated Expanded Text Ads (ETAs), and now marketers can only build new ads using the responsive search ad (RSAs) format. With RSAs, search marketers supply Google with 3-15 headlines and 2-4 lines of description resulting in 42,680 ad combinations! To make sure you’re completely ready for this new era of SEM, here are some critical best practices when using Google Search’s default ad format:

  • Make sure all of your combinations work together
  • Stay in control with RSA pinning
  • Really love ETAs? Make “pseudo-ETAs” from RSAs with this hack.
  • Remember your fundamental ad best practices
  • Use the Ad Strength tool
  • Watch Google’s brief RSA best practices tutorials
