What This Prompt Does

Responsive Search Ads mix and match your assets, but Google can only mix good ingredients into good ads. This prompt produces 15 varied headlines and 4 descriptions keyed to the ad group's keyword theme, offer, and landing page — so the RSA rotation has real range without drifting off-message.

When to Use It

  • Writing copy for a new ad group
  • RSA ad strength is rated "poor" or "average"
  • Refreshing tired copy after six months in market
  • Bulk-writing ad copy across many similar ad groups

How the Prompt Is Structured

1

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.

2

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.

3

"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.

4

"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.
