About specialized Google Ads campaign types

 This article applies only to Google Ads accounts in the new Search Ads 360.


Sometimes you need specialized tools to get the job done. Google Ads has different types of highly-specific campaigns to help you reach your customers.

This article will explain some of the more specialized campaign types that are generally used by more advanced Google Ads users. Learn more about the general ways to advertise with Google Ads.

Call-only campaigns

Search Network campaigns

Clicks on call-only ads initiate a call to your business, so the display URL doesn't send customers to your website landing page. Call-only ads use much of the same information as call assets and show your business phone number as the ad headline.

Dynamic Search Ads

Search Network campaigns

Ads use the content of your website - not keywords - to target searches. Dynamic Search Ads look like text ads, but headlines are dynamically generated from the search phrase and your website content, and landing pages are dynamically selected from pages on your website.
