To give advertisers more room for adding information, Google Ads updated the Expanded Text Ads with an additional headline and description .
Launched in 2016, Expanded Text Ads offered more real estate for advertisers . In light of the announcement, we announced the Expanded Text Ads Preview Tool to help advertisers build ads in the new format and check how it will show up on desktop and mobile.
Here is what has changed from the previous ETA ad format to the current renewed one:
| Previous ETA Character Limit | New ETA Character Limit | |

| Headline 3 | – NA- | 30 characters |
| Description 1 | 80 characters | 90 characters |
| Description 2 | -NA- | 90 characters |
