Dynamic structured snippets are an asset type that automatically show additional details about your site with your ads, helping users learn more about your business. Dynamic structured snippets require no setup and give the system more opportunities to show assets with your ads.
Before you begin
For background information, start by learning about call assets or, more specifically, about account level automated assets.
How they work
When users search for information on Google, they may be served ads and search results for similar or related web pages. To help them decide whether your site contains information they're interested in, your ads may include additional information about the products and services offered on your site.
The information that appears for your ad's snippets reflects categories of content found on your website.
Benefits
Here are benefits of dynamic structured snippets:
- They help users find out more about your products and services without changing a thing: Additional information from our analysis of your site can appear with your ad automatically, with no additional effort or ad management on your part.
- They may improve your return on investment: The additional website information that appears with your ads can increase your ads' relevance and click-through rate. This can help you to improve your return on investment by focusing on attracting clicks from visitors who are more likely to be interested in what you have to offer.
When they might show with your ads
Your ads may show dynamic structured snippets automatically when your ad is eligible and your landing page has a matching category for a search. Dynamic structured snippets only show when they’re expected to boost your ad’s performance and may show alongside or instead of manually created structured snippets. You can control which structured snippets are served by pausing or removing individual dynamic structured snippets. Learn more about how to remove assets
Example
When someone uses Google to search for electronics, they might be served an ad for Acme Electronics with dynamic structured snippets. These snippets may display additional details about the content found on the landing page for the ad, such as specific electronics brands or subcategories
How much dynamic structured snippets cost
There's no cost for showing dynamic structured snippets for your campaigns, but you'll be charged as usual for clicks on your ad.
Why your dynamic structured snippets aren't showing
Keep in mind that your ads won't always show dynamic structured snippets. Also, when dynamic structured snippets appear, the information displayed and its length may vary. We consider several factors when determining whether dynamic structured snippets will appear with your ads, including whether other assets are also eligible to appear with your ads. Dynamic structured snippets usually won't impact whether other assets appear with your ad; however, if another asset showing with your ads performs better than your structured snippets, these will be more likely to appear with your ad instead.
