What’s your main goal? Provide enough information to convince the user to click through to your landing page. When writing copy for text ads, remember that you can’t cram in every possible detail about your offer. With so few characters, accompanied by a barely visible image (which doesn’t even show up in all placements), every element of the ad is crucial for getting the user’s attention.
