How to use Google Ads Headline Generator
- Enter the product/service + the target keyword you want the ad to match
- In the offer field, name the hook: free trial, % off, free shipping, money-back guarantee
- Specify a tone: urgent / professional / playful / problem-solving
- Ask for 15 variants and pick the strongest 8–10 for your RSA — Google's machine learning needs variety to optimize
- Verify every headline hits 30 characters or fewer (spaces count) before pasting into Google Ads
Tips for better results
- Mix headline types: 3 with the keyword, 3 with the offer, 3 with the USP, 3 with a CTA, 3 with social proof — don't stack identical angles
- Use dynamic keyword insertion ({Keyword:Default}) for at least one headline, but keep most static — Google's algorithm prefers human-written variety
- Avoid all-caps, exclamation overuse, and duplicate punctuation — Google disapproves ads that look spammy
- Track each headline's impression share in the Asset report after 2 weeks and prune anything below "Low" performance
Frequently asked questions
Will every headline fit the 30-character limit?
The model targets 30 characters but occasionally overshoots. Always paste each one into a character counter or Google Ads itself before saving — Google will reject anything longer.
Can it write the 90-character descriptions too?
Ask in a follow-up: "now write 4 descriptions at 90 characters max for the same campaign." It keeps context from the headlines you generated.
Does it know Google's ad policy on superlatives and claims?
Mostly — it avoids obvious claim violations ("#1," "best") by default, but you should still review every headline against Google's editorial policy. Health, finance, and legal verticals have stricter rules.
Should I use the same headlines on Microsoft Ads / Bing?
Mostly yes — Microsoft Ads accepts the same 30-character headlines. Localize for the audience differences (older skew, different competitor set) and you can usually import campaigns directly.
