Manage Google Ads sitelinks

Manage sitelink settings for a Google Ads campaign or ad group

Manage sitelinks

Next: Apply or remove Google Ads sitelinks from campaigns or ad groups

By default, Google Ads campaigns are set to inherit sitelinks from the account and ad groups are set to inherit sitelinks from the campaign. If you want to override the inheritance, you can change the setting for campaigns or ad groups and apply sitelinks directly to the campaign or ad group. You can also disble sitelinks in a campaign or ad group.

For information about how to manage an account's sitelink setting, see the Configure a Google Ads sitelink for inheritance article.
