This article describes the standards for search ad styles. These standards are designed to enhance the overall user experience and drive better results for your advertisers. We recommend you review your ad styles to ensure that they conform with the standards. Google will automatically adjust ad styles that don't meet these standards.
Enhanced CTA default style
We've released a new Enhanced CTA default style, with an improved design to help you drive even more engagement.
You can customize certain color elements within the Enhanced CTA default style. To maintain design consistency, some elements inherit color contrasts based on colors selected for other elements.
