Content
The Content section is where you specify how your ad looks like.
There are several subsections in it.
Headlines
Think of five things you’d like people to know about your offer. Include search terms people may have entered. Start with the most important message because smaller screens may not display all the headlines.
- Click Create content.
- Provide Headlines 1 to 5 (up to 30 characters).
- Provide 3 additional Headlines (optional, up to 30 characters).
Based on the device and its resolution, Google decides how many headlines will be displayed, so keep this in mind when adding them.

Add the address of the site that your ad leads to and customize the URL as it appears in your ad to attract more customers.
- Add the URL to which the ad will redirect people.
- Change how the URL looks like by changing display URL (optional). Each path can have up to 15 characters. The display URL appears in your ad but the paths may not always show. Add paths to give people a preview of what they’ll find on your site. You can use phrases that mirror your keywords, headlines, or description. It can look like this:
Descriptions

Keywords
With keywords you target people searching for your offer. Pick words or phrases that will match your ad with relevant search terms. You can use both positive and negative keywords.
How to choose keywords?
You can try specific keywords like “women’s designer glasses” to show your ad to people searching for a particular product. Use general keywords like “glasses” to reach a wider audience.
What are negative keywords?
These are words or phrases that will prevent your ad from showing up in matching search results.
For example, add “water” as a negative keyword and your ad won’t appear in search results for glassware.
To add keywords:
- Select the keywords from your previous ads to make the process faster (optional).
- Provide the keywords for which your ad should appear.
- Provide negative keywords to exclude your ad from these searches.
Runtime and budget

- Select the start date.
- You can keep I want to run this ad indefinitely selected, or untick it.
- Provide the end date for your ad (optional).
