Best Practices
Display Ads
- Brand Consistency: Use consistent colors, fonts, and visual style across all sizes
- Clear Hierarchy: Establish visual hierarchy - image, headline, CTA
- Minimal Text: Let imagery do the heavy lifting; Google prefers image-focused ads
- High Contrast: Ensure readability across different website backgrounds
- CTA Visibility: Make call-to-action buttons stand out clearly
YouTube Thumbnails
- Face Forward: Human faces with eye contact increase click-through rates
- Bold Colors: Use contrasting colors that pop against YouTube's white interface
- Readable Text: If adding text, ensure it's legible at small sizes
- Emotional Expression: Show strong emotions to trigger curiosity
- Avoid Clutter: Keep composition simple and focused
Discovery Ads
- Native Feel: Design to blend with organic content, not look like ads
- Aspirational Imagery: Use lifestyle images that inspire action
- High Quality: Discovery placements favor premium-looking content
- Mobile-First: Design for mobile screens where most Discovery traffic comes from
Performance Max
- Asset Variety: Provide multiple images in different ratios for ML optimization
- Consistent Branding: Maintain visual consistency across all asset variations
- Test Different Styles: Mix lifestyle and product-focused images
- Avoid Text in Images: Google's ML works better with text-free images
Responsive Display
- Test All Combinations: Design images that work with any headline/description
- Safe Zones: Keep important elements away from edges (15% margin)
- Scalability: Ensure images look good from 300px to 1200px wide
Prompt Tips for Google Ads
When creating Google ad creatives, include these details in your prompt:
- Exact Dimensions: Specify pixel size or aspect ratio (300x250, 1.91:1, etc.)
- Ad Format: Mention if it's for Display, YouTube, Discovery, or Performance Max
- Product/Service: Clearly describe what you're advertising
- Visual Focus: What should be the main visual element?
- Color Scheme: Brand colors or desired palette
- Text Space: Request space for headlines, descriptions, or CTAs
- Style Reference: Professional, playful, minimal, bold, etc.
Example Prompt Structure
"Create a [dimensions] [ad format] for [product/service].
Show [visual description] with [color scheme/style].
Leave space for [text elements].
[Additional requirements like brand guidelines, urgency, etc.]"
Mode Selection
Ask your users before generating:
"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"
| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
max |
Final ad creatives, Performance Max assets, A/B testing winners | Slower | Highest |
eco |
Quick drafts, concept exploration, bulk banner variations | Faster | Good |
