Expanded Text Ads

Starting June 30, 2022, you'll no longer be able to create or edit expanded text ads.

Expanded text ads will continue to serve, and you'll still see reports on their performance going forward.

You'll be able to pause and resume your expanded text ads, or remove them if needed.

We strongly encourage you to transition to responsive search ads.

Learn more about this change to expanded text ads.

Use expanded text ads to promote products or services on the Google Network. This ad format supports:

Multiple headlines

This ad type has three headline fields concatenated together with a vertical bar (|) separator. The first two headlines are required, while the third is optional.
More characters

Each headline has a 30-character limit, an increase from that for standard text ads. Languages with double-width characters such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, are allowed 15 characters.
Expanded description

There are two description lines with an expanded limit of 90 characters. Truncation and ellipsification have been minimized to make ad display more predictable.
URL customization

Instead of inputting a display URL for your ad, the URL is calculated from the final URL domain and path fields (path1 and path2), that indicate to a user where they will be directed on a click. Final URL and tracking URL behavior remain the same.

Here's an example ad for Interplanetary Cruises in the Google Ads UI, after being uploaded with the Google Ads API.

For the expanded text ad illustrated above, the ad properties can be mapped to individual fields in ExpandedTextAdInfo with Google Ads API, as shown in the following table:

Field	Value
`headline_part1`	Cruise to Mars #12QjNuTP
`headline_part2`	Best Space Cruise Line
`headline_part3`	Discount ends soon
`description`	Buy your tickets now!
`description2`	Limited number
`final_urls`	["https://www.example.com/0"]
`path1`	all-inclusive
`path2`	deals

Example

The following example walks through the code for the Interplanetary Cruise ad shown above.

Similar to other ad types, ExpandedTextAdInfo can be added through the AdGroupAdService.MutateAdGroupAds method. This ad type requires at least two headlines, at least one description, and one or more final URLs.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This example adds an expanded text ad that uses advanced features of upgraded URLs.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

add_expanded_text_ad_with_upgraded_urls.pl [options]

    -help                       Show the help message.
    -customer_id                The Google Ads customer ID.

add_expanded_text_ad_with_upgraded_urls.pl

Like most other entities in the Google Ads API, an ExpandedTextAdInfo is fetched by querying the GoogleAdsService.SearchStream using a Google Ads Query Language query that specifies which fields to return, with a filter on ad_group_ad.ad.type in the WHERE clause.

Ad variations

Ad variations allow you to easily create and test variations of your ads across multiple campaigns or your entire account. Creating and managing ad variations is currently not supported in Google Ads API, but you can identify the experimental ads created by the ad variations feature using one of the following methods.

If you are using AdGroupAdService, the system_managed_resource_source property of an Ad object will be set to AD_VARIATIONS.
If you are using Google Ads Query Language to retrieve reports, the field ad_group_ad.ad.system_managed_resource_source will be set to AD_VARIATIONS.

Reporting

The ad_group_ad.ad.type in reports for expanded text ads is EXPANDED_TEXT_AD. To make it easier to retrieve data related to expanded text ads in reports, the following fields can be selected along with ad_group_ad:

Upgrade from standard text ads

The upgrade to expanded text ads will require your intervention: In many cases, the second and third headlines will need new content, and you'll need to decide when to enable the new expanded text ad and when to disable the old standard text ad.

To upgrade your standard text ads to expanded text ads:

Create the new expanded text ad in a PAUSED state based on the data in the standard text ad. Take into consideration that TextAdInfo.description1 in standard text ads is 35 characters, while ExpandedTextAdInfo.headline_part2 in expanded text ads is 30 characters: If you simply copy the text from the text ad's description1 to the expanded text ad's headline_part2, an error will result.
Wait for the new expanded text ad's policy_summary.approval_status to become APPROVED.
If you're using fully automated conversion-based bidding (Target CPA or Target ROAS), we recommend transitioning to expanded text ads gradually by letting the expanded text ads run in parallel with the standard text ads for some time before removing the standard text ads.
Send an AdGroupAdService.MutateAdGroupAds request with two operations:
- Set the new expanded text ad status to ENABLED.
- Set the old standard text ad status to REMOVED.

If you're not sure where to start upgrading or experimenting, start with the standard text ads that are performing the worst because you'll get improved clickthrough rates with the new expanded text ads.

Upgrade progress

There are a few ways to measure your progress when upgrading.

Client account level (Google Ads UI)

Navigate to your Google Ads client account.

Click the Ads tab.
Select Filter > Create Filter.
Filter on Ad type as Text ad.
Click Apply.

This results in a list of standard text ads.

Client account level (API)

Using the GoogleAdsService.SearchStream with a Google Ads Query Language query that filters on ad_group_ad.ad.type in the WHERE clause.

Here's an example report query that retrieves all your standard text ads that need to be upgraded:

SELECT
  ad_group_ad.ad.id,
  ad_group_ad.status,
  ad_group.id,
  campaign.id,
  campaign.status
FROM ad_group_ad
WHERE ad_group_ad.ad.type = TEXT_AD

Upgrade helper

ETA Transition Helper is available to assist in upgrading standard text ads in bulk to expanded text ads.

The tool has two main components:

A Google Ads script that copies your standard text ads to a Google Sheet and then helps you write expanded text ads to add to your Google Ads account.
A Google Sheet that displays your standard text ads and lets you configure the associated expanded text ads.
