Dynamic Ads
Dynamic Ads are an internet advertising format where the ad content is automatically generated based on user data, their behavior, or the site’s product range. Simply put, the system itself selects the headline, text, and link to show the user the most relevant offer.
How Do Dynamic Ads Work?
Unlike standard advertising, where the text and creative are set manually, dynamic ads are formed automatically based on:
- Website content
- Product feed (product catalog)
- User’s search queries
- User’s previous actions (viewed products, added to cart)
- Audience segment
For example, if a user looked at a specific model of sneakers in an online store, the system might show them an ad for those exact sneakers with a discount.
Where Are Dynamic Ads Used?
This format is most often used in:
- Search advertising
- Retargeting
- Advertising for online stores
- Marketplaces
- Social networks
Dynamic ads are particularly effective for e-commerce and projects with a large product assortment.
