Mock up & present responsive search ads to your clients the easy way
[Updated 10/13/2021] – #RIP #ExpandedTextAds #ByeByeBye
Now that Google is planning on sunsetting expanded text ads, it will be more difficult to present to clients.
But don’t worry, PPC Ad Editor can help!
Learn how to mock up Google Responsive Search ads easily without excel.
We’ve been through all this before. You pitch your client to try out Google’s responsive search ad format. Your client agrees on your recommendation and then they ask you to show them what it looks like.
Like us, you probably have some sort of excel template that outlines all of the different headlines and descriptions you can have. Or, you start building the ads in Google and just do a screengrab.
Both ways are problematic because it doesn’t show the client any ad variations of what your responsive search ad could look like.
With our Google Ads Responsive Search Ads mockup tool, you can preview different ad variations, along with all the headlines and descriptions to your client in real-time.

What does a responsive ad mean?
A responsive ad will automatically shift in size and format depending on where the ad appears. This means one single ad can appear in a number of different formats, shapes, and sizes. This allows Google to place your ads wherever they want.
- Responsive ads will fit on any space across the Google Display Network (GDN)
- To create the ads you supply Google with assets, and they create the ads automatically and display them across the web.
When should you use responsive display ads?
You should use responsive display ads when:
- Your primary goal is performance according to Google
- When you have to meet a branding requirement
- When you want Google to promote your ad across multiple platforms
- When your ads will only be run in banner-eligible slots
Are responsive ads better than text ads?
It really depends on what you’re trying to advertise, but GDN Responsive Search Ads often have a 5-15% high CTR than simple text ads. This is generally because people LOVE images, and they don’t want just text because it seems lazy on behalf of the creator of the ad.
Are responsive display ads worth it?
Absolutely – In fact, as you can see from the paragraph above, with a 5-15% higher CTR you would be stupid to not have a responsive ad. This is especially true if you’re paying per impression, as you could be burning money if you don’t have a responsive ad compared to if you use just a text ad, as you’re paying per impression and the CTR is lower.
