Google just rolled out a cool new feature for their Demand Generation campaigns to make things more exciting for advertisers.
So, what’s the scoop? Well, now you can automatically show off screenshots of your landing pages right in your ads! Yep, you read that right! This little gem is designed to grab user attention by giving them a sneak peek of where they’ll land once they click. It’s like a tiny visual invitation saying, “Hey, check out what’s behind this door!”
Here’s how it works: Just tick the box that says “Show a screenshot of your landing page in your ads,” and voilà! Some folks might even find this option switched on by default, making it easy to dive in.

Who’s going to benefit from this feature? Well, if you have a website that’s as pretty as a picture, this is your time to shine! It’s a fantastic way to draw in more clicks. Plus, for marketers who love to experiment, this opens up a whole new avenue for A/B testing those visual previews against the usual ad formats.
And let’s not forget—if your campaign is all about the visuals (especially with video ads), this will be a game-changer. A heads up, though: having a stunning landing page is key! If it’s eye-catching and well-designed, it could boost your click-through rates. But if it’s a bit of a mess, you might scare away potential customers.
Right now, this feature is mostly available for lead-generation video ads. Still, fingers crossed it’ll roll out more broadly based on how well it does and the feedback from advertisers.
Exciting times ahead!
