Frequently Asked Questions and Common Scenarios


How do I put bold, italics, links or other formatting into my ad copy?
This planner does not support formatting such as bold, italics and links. These ads are designed by an interactive designer to include wordmarks, photos and other graphic design elements. If you have special design or formatting requests, please include those requests in the Notes or Special Instructions field above.

Please note that paid search ads only accept plain text.

How do I create a landing page or a multi-channel campaign?
Your ad(s) must link to a special landing page. To include these ads as part of a broader, multi-channel campaign, you need to contact the Web team to obtain the necessary forms. Multi-channel campaigns are relatively easy to plan and complete, but you'll need to give us advanced warning so that we can reserve production time for your campaign.
