How to Use Dynamic Text

Using dynamic text, you can insert geographic-related content or set custom variables in your ads.

This functionality works with Ad Serving and is available with the Ad Delivery and optimization addon, which can be obtained with a Pro or Plus subscription plan. Please see this page for more information on our subscription plans.

 

Benefits of using Dynamic Text

  • Your ad is tailored to each person.
  • Only one ad is needed to address different custom or geographical scenarios.
  • Our system will automatically detect the user's information, showing the suitable variation of your design. You won't need any external requirement or integration from your DSP or Ad Network.
