Frequently asked questions

What is a Google ad mockup?
A Google ad mockup is a preview of how a search ad will appear on the results page, showing the Sponsored label, display URL, headlines and description in Google's layout. Because a search ad has no image, the copy is the entire creative, so previewing truncation is the whole job.
What are the Google Ads character limits?
Responsive search ads allow 30 characters per headline and 90 characters per description. You can supply up to 15 headlines and 4 descriptions, and Google assembles combinations, typically showing up to three headlines and two descriptions at once.
How many headlines does Google show?
Usually two or three, joined by vertical pipe separators, chosen by Google from the headlines you supplied. Because the combination is assembled automatically, every headline needs to make sense next to every other one.
Is this Google ad mockup generator free?
Yes, with no signup. It runs entirely in your browser and the PNG export is generated locally.
