Tweaking Adwords
-
Hi,
I want to understand how one can tweak adwords and make first line long. I am showing the example as attachment. Please check and guide. Is this ethical ?
Regards,
Preet

Yes its ethical...and highly effective.
you just need to use punctuation at the end of line 1 description.
look at your example...there is a period (.) at the end of the long headline.

Thank you for a quick and detailed reply.

I couldn't get the attachment link to work, but by linking right to http://www.apexsoft.ca/adwords.jpg I can see what you're asking.
This is a feature recently introduced into Adwords that moves the content from the Description Line 1 into the Headline. The guidelines state that if Description Line 1 is a full and complete sentence, Google may create the longer headline.
In your screenshot, you can see that only the highlighted ad has a gramatically correct and full sentence as its Description Line 1, and as a result it's been moved to the headline.
The other two ads are both missing what in my opinion are crucial full stops that severely impact the readability of the ad when displayed in the top-box three-pack -- let alone prohibit the "headline increase" promotion!
AFAIK there is no way to trigger this per se, it's all at Google's discretion. Rather than changing the text of your ads to include a fullstop you might get a quicker result by creating a new ad that contains the same text and the grammatical fixes.
Hope that helps!

Is it possible to link two sites' Search Console to Adwords?
My company is a healthcare organization that has two brands, one that's our 'system' and is mainly adult health services and the other is pediatric only focused care. Both have separate websites. Our SEM is managed by an outside agency. We're in the process of linking our Google Search Consoles to the Adwords account. Our GSC has both of the sites as separate properties, but the Adwords account has all of the campaigns for both brands under one account. Is it possible to link both of the GSC properties in the Adwords account to be able to get accurate information for the Paid & Organic report in Adwords?

Adwords - Mobile Checkbox
Hi Everyone, I am looking to optimize my adwords campaigns and have been pondering how to handle the checkbox for "Mobile" on the standard Text Ads. (My ecommerce website is fully responsive.) If i want to create 1 Ad for each ad group and have that ad displayed on desktops as well as mobile devices, should i be checking the "Mobile" checkbox? Is it best practice to create 2 ads per ad group that are identical except have 1 with Mobile checked and 1 without? Please let me know how you guys typically set this up. Thanks

Privacy Policy in Adwords
Does anyone have direct experience regarding the impact on quality score by ensuring there is a privacy policy in place on the landing page? I am aware of the legal requirement but I have heard anecdotal evidence there could be an impact on quality score if one is missing.

Adwords and Analytics figures not matching up
We are currently running a A/B test on a landing page using only adwords to split the traffic. Looking at the figures in adwords has given us a higher number of conversions than the analytics is giving us in transactions. The conversion rate is also different. The only visitors this page is getting is from Adwords. Can someone please help us understand why this is? Cheers Al
