How the Prompt Is Structured
15 and 4 — Not 30 and 4
RSA allows up to 15 headlines. Asking for exactly 15 forces the AI to use the full range without repeating. Four descriptions is the RSA cap, and four is plenty to cover benefit, urgency, trust, and offer angles.
Landing Page Text as Context
Paid ads should make promises the landing page can keep. Including the landing page text anchors the AI to provable claims and prevents "same-day service" ads landing on pages that never mention response time.
"Avoid Repeating the Same Message"
RSA performs best when headlines cover multiple angles: benefit, urgency, location, trust, offer, and specific feature. This constraint nudges the AI to diversify instead of rephrasing.
"Do Not Make Claims the Business Cannot Support"
Generative copy tends to over-promise ("fastest in the state," "lowest prices guaranteed"). This constraint keeps the output defensible — Google disallows unsupported superlatives, and customers punish them.

Tips for Better Results
Pin Strategically
Pin one brand or location headline to position 1 so every shown ad includes it. Leave the rest unpinned for Google to test combinations.
Verify Character Counts
Google Ads allows 30 characters per headline and 90 per description. The AI occasionally overshoots — paste into the Ads editor to verify before launch.
Mirror Headlines With Landing Page H1
When one headline closely matches the landing page H1, Quality Score improves and bounce rate drops.
Refresh Quarterly
Pause your two lowest-performing assets every quarter and replace them with new variants. RSA rewards fresh material.
