Often surprising things we learned by running text analyses on some of the best ads in Google Ads from the past year.This analysis was a group effort. Shout-out to everyone who worked on the project including our data analyst Josh Brackett, our web team leader Meg Lister, our designer Kate Lindsay, and content team leader Elisa Gabbert.About the Data Set: How Did We Define “Best Ads”?Here’s how we arrived at our set of top Google Ads ads.

We also split the set into branded and non-branded ads (335 brand ads, 277 non-branded).

We separated out branded ads (brand ads are the ads that show up when users search for a business’s brand name) because these ads naturally tend to have very high performance, including high click-through rates and Quality Scores. Why? Because people searching for a brand name are often just trying to navigate directly to your site; plus, they’re already heard of you, so there’s natural brand affinity (which can increase CTR by 2 or 3x). Therefore, we excluded brand ads from most of our analysis, so we could see what tricks and tactics lead to super high performance even when businesses don’t have the benefit of high brand affinity.With that said, let’s get into the data!.1: What Are the Most Popular Words in the Best-Performing Ads?Back in 2016, Google released Expanded Text Ads, which basically double your ads’ max character counts.pared to their predecessors, Expanded Text Ads are a sprawling canvas. ; to others, it represents.
