Specs to Keep in Mind
File types: Google accepts various file formats, including GIF, JPG, PNG, HTML5, and AMPHTML.
File size: The file size limit is generally 150 KB. You'll want to optimise your ads to load quickly without sacrificing quality.
Animation: For animated ads (GIF, HTML5), keep the duration under 30 seconds. Shorter animations tend to be more effective.
Creating Effective Display Ads
Clear Call-to-Action (CTA): Your ad should clearly state what you want users to do (e.g., "Shop Now," "Learn More," "Sign Up").
Compelling Visuals: Use high-quality images and eye-catching designs to grab attention.
Relevant Headlines: Write concise and relevant headlines that are personalised for your target audience.
Brand Consistency: Maintain a consistent brand identity across all your ads.
