Google AdWords is About to Give Advertisers 2x More Space with Expanded Text Ads
Key Takeaway:
Are you ready for this? The new longer format is designed to give advertisers better results on mobile devices with bigger headlines and an extra-long description. Google has a mobile-first mindset, meaning that these ads are most definitely going to be applied across both mobile and desktop, with the text simply wrapping automatically based on device.
