Promo
A promo is an ad extension that includes a brief description of the promo and a bright label or contrasting background. Promos are added to ads in search results if they get the first premium placement. In the YAN, the serving of extensions with ads is governed by the Smart Design algorithm. When clicking the promo, the user may be forwarded to a website or app page that is different from the page linked in the ad.
You can add promos when creating or editing “Text & Image Ads” and “Dynamic ads” campaigns. You can only add one promo per campaign.
