Dynamic Search Ads Tap Informational Queries

Dynamic Search Ads have a long history of helping advertisers show for queries they haven’t bid on. Merchants with thousands of constantly changing products cannot realistically create ads for every item. DSAs fill this gap by allowing Google to crawl websites and display dynamic ads when they are relevant to a search query.

For instance, a merchant may bid on the keyword “window curtains” but not “blue rod pocket curtain panel,” as this query is specific and presumably has a low search volume.

I first addressed DSAs in 2021. They often attract unqualified traffic, regardless of how the campaigns are optimized. Google decides which queries trigger the ads, rather than advertisers selecting specific keywords. Fortunately, the cost-per-click for DSA campaigns is generally lower than traditional Search.

Lower CPCs enable more clicks for a given budget, ideally resulting in more conversions and revenue.
