Benefits
- Optimise your ads: When you create a responsive display ad by uploading different assets into Google Ads, Google's machine learning model determines the optimal combination of assets for each ad slot based on your performance history.
- Broader reach: You can upload multiple assets per asset type (for example, multiple headlines, logos, videos and images). Google Ads will automatically adjust the size, appearance and format of your ads to fit just about any available ad space. For example, a responsive display ad might show as a banner ad on one site and a dynamic text ad on another.
- Use with videos: You can also add videos to your responsive display ads to help maximise your reach on the Display Network. Videos are shown instead of images whenever Google Ads determines that your videos could drive better performance.
- Save time: Using responsive display ads, you can reduce your overhead for managing ad portfolios within ad groups and campaigns, and dedicate more time to performance improvement.
- Use with feeds: Responsive ads show personalised content (including ads with products that people already viewed on your website or app) to customers from a feed you add and control. If you add a feed to your campaign, your ads will show in both dynamic and static formats. Learn more about creating feeds for your responsive display ads.
Uploaded display ads
If you want to have more control over the creatives for your Display campaigns, you may build and upload your own image ads. Uploaded image ads are created outside Google Ads (in Google Web Designer, for example) and can be uploaded as a .zip file into Google Ads. Learn more about uploading your own image ads
