Creative guidelines:
Title should not use block lettering e.g. LIMITED TIME ONLY. Write a title that is catchy and grabs your audience’s attention, something that directly relates to the product or service you offer to users. The best performing ads include a strong deal or offer. e.g. Win $5000.
For the description, write one or two sentences that focus on the most important information you want to display. The copy should relate to what the user is searching for, with a strong call to action. The ad description can contain up to 150 characters but ensure it reads naturally. Use simple language, with text that is complete and makes sense. Avoid extraneous punctuation and note that the copy may be cropped or not appear on some ad formats.
The requested image can not be an ‘ad’ with text or logos. This should be an image only. All ‘ad text’ should fit in the headline and story intro content. Use compelling images eg. a beautiful resort for a travel deal or a single face that’s relevant to your product or service generally performs well.
