Google is allowing advertisers to use more characters in their search ads. • The new ad format has 2 headlines of 30 characters each, vs. 1 25-character headline before. • The description section now has 1 80-character line, vs. 2 35-character lines before. • Search ads now can automatically pull in URLs from websites, helping to avoid typos in the ads.
