There are 20 different display ad sizes used in Display Remarketing campaigns with Google.
There are two main display ad types:
- Responsive display ads
- Custom creative display ads.
Cost-effective standard responsive ads
A responsive display ad is a type of ad that is built based on assets which are various components of the ad, such as headlines, images, and logos. Google Display Remarketing responsive ads are designed to adapt to the wide-range of ad sizes found on the internet and various screen sizes used.
Once digital assets are uploaded Google uses machine learning algorithms to combine these assets into multiple ad variations across the web. This allows for continuous optimisation to achieve the best performance. With responsive display ads you have the ability to upload assets such as headlines, descriptions, images, logos and videos.
Custom creative display ads
Responsive ads while cost-effective to create don't have the visual appeal of custom display ads (custom display ads will cost extra). Custom display ads have a large range of options you can use. Animated, video and image being some of the core creative elements.
Custom creative display ads empower you to showcase your own custom images on the Google Display Network. When uploading custom display ads it's important to adhere to specific requirements for the ad creatives. GOOP Digital will create ads in each of the 20 core unit sizes.
