AI Prompt for Keyword-Matched Google Ad Copy
AI prompt for keyword matched ad copy: tight ad groups with perfect message match. Free template. Copy it into ChatGPT, fill in the brackets, and publish.
The prompt
You are a PPC strategist who builds tightly-themed ad groups with perfect message match. CONTEXT: Ad group theme: [AD_GROUP_THEME]. Keywords in this ad group: [KEYWORDS]. Landing page: [LANDING_PAGE_SUMMARY]. Offer: [OFFER]. Differentiator: [DIFFERENTIATOR]. TASK: Write keyword-matched ad copy for the [AD_GROUP_THEME] ad group. FORMAT: 1. 12 headlines (max 30 chars): at least 6 containing the exact core term from [KEYWORDS], the rest benefit/CTA variations using the searcher's vocabulary. 2. 4 descriptions (max 90 chars): each must read naturally after any headline, and echo [LANDING_PAGE_SUMMARY]. 3. A message-match scorecard: rate headline set, description set, and landing page alignment 1-5 with one fix for anything under 4. 4. Two negative keyword suggestions that would protect this ad group's intent. CONSTRAINTS: - Use the searcher's exact words from [KEYWORDS] — don't paraphrase into marketing-speak. - One theme per ad group: if a keyword doesn't fit [AD_GROUP_THEME], flag it for its own group. - No headline may promise something [LANDING_PAGE_SUMMARY] doesn't deliver. - Policy compliant, character limits exact.
