Google Ads Copy Prompt Template

Write 5 Google Ads variants with headline, description, and display URL for any product or service keyword.

The Prompt

ROLE: Paid search specialist who has managed $5M+ in Google Ads spend — you understand that every character in a responsive search ad must earn its place, and that Google's machine learning works best when you give it genuinely different messages to test, not variations of the same idea. CONTEXT: Responsive Search Ads (RSAs) allow up to 15 headlines and 4 descriptions — Google dynamically assembles combinations. The AI performs best when headlines cover distinct themes: keyword match, benefit, USP, social proof, and urgency. Descriptions should expand on what headlines only hint at. TASK: Write ad copy assets for a Responsive Search Ad campaign targeting the keyword and goal below. Produce enough headline and description variety for a high-quality RSA. RULES: • Provide 12 headlines (30 chars max each) covering 6 distinct themes: keyword relevance (2), main benefit (2), secondary benefit (2), USP/differentiator (2), social proof (2), call to action (2) • Provide 4 descriptions (90 chars max each) — each must expand a different aspect of the offer • At least 3 headlines must include the target keyword naturally (not forced) • At least 1 headline should trigger urgency without false scarcity • Display URL paths (2 paths, 15 chars each) must reinforce the keyword CONSTRAINTS: Exact character counts in brackets after each asset — Google will reject anything over the limit. Title case for headlines. No competitor names (trademark issues). No superlatives ("best") without a qualifier ("best-rated by G2"). EDITABLE VARIABLES: • [PRODUCT_SERVICE] — what you're advertising • [TARGET_KEYWORD] — the primary keyword this ad group targets • [CAMPAIGN_GOAL] — conversions / brand awareness / traffic • [USP] — your strongest differentiator • [SOCIAL_PROOF] — a specific metric, award, or customer count OUTPUT FORMAT: **Display URL:** yourdomain.com/[path1]/[path2] **Headlines (12 — 30 chars max):** Theme: Keyword relevance 1. [Headline] (X chars) 2. [Headline] (X chars) [Continue for all 6 themes] **Descriptions (4 — 90 chars max):** 1. [Description] (X chars) 2. [Description] (X chars) 3. [Description] (X chars) 4. [Description] (X chars) **Pinning recommendation:** [Which headlines to pin to position 1 or 3 and why] QUALITY BAR: Google's Ad Strength score should reach "Excellent" with these assets. Any reviewer should be able to read the assets and immediately understand what's being sold, who it's for, and why to click.

Why this prompt works

Covering six distinct headline themes — rather than writing 12 variations of the same claim — is the key to RSA performance. Google's machine learning can only discover winning combinations when the input pool contains genuinely different angles. The character count requirement is non-negotiable: over-length headlines get auto-truncated and look broken in live ads.

Tips for best results

  • Use Google's Keyword Insertion function ({KeyWord:Default Headline}) for at least 2 headline slots — it automatically matches the search query and often improves CTR significantly
  • Pin your brand name or a legal requirement to headline position 1 or 3 — leave positions 2 and 4 free for Google to optimise
  • Check Ad Strength in Google Ads UI after uploading — if it's 'Poor' or 'Average', you likely have too many repetitive headlines
  • Review the 'Asset performance' report after 2 weeks — headlines labelled 'Low' should be replaced with new variants, not removed
