Create text ads

Create text ads

A text ad includes an ad title, ad text, display URL, and destination URL.

The combined ad title and ad text must be at least three words. The following character limits include spaces and default dynamic text:

• Ad title: 25 characters
• Ad text: 71 characters
• Display URL: 35 characters
• Destination URL: 1024 characters

  For destination URLs, the limit includes all the characters in http:// and https://.

Optimizing for long ad titles

It is important to take advantage of longer ad titles, as ads with the combined titles typically generate better results. You can take specific actions to influence how your longer titles are displayed: If you want the first sentence of your description appended to the title, that sentence must end with an exclamation mark (!), question mark (?), or period (.) and then be followed by a space. When this sentence is combined with the title, is must be relatively short; around 63 characters or so, in order to fit in the space available. However, if you prefer to append your display URL instead, make your ad title or your description first sentence a bit longer.

Use the ad preview in the edit pane to see the results and experiment with different combinations until you get what you like. It’s possible that what is ultimately displayed by Bing will be different from what you see in the preview (due to our experimentation to get you the best results).
