• Pin headlines or descriptions to specific positions in your responsive search ads. This is useful if you have certain messages that always need to be shown. Pinning headlines or descriptions is similar to expanded text ads, meaning the pinned text is always shown to the user. If you need to use pinning, try to pin at least 3 options to a position.
• Use ad variations. Using ad variations can help test different copy and versions of your ads at scale. You are also able to review their performance across multiple campaigns to A/B test.
