What the Google Ads Character Counter Checks

  • Headline length

    Each headline is counted against a practical 30-character limit.

  • Description length

    Each description is counted against a practical 90-character limit.

  • Multiple variants

    One variant per line makes it easy to scan a whole responsive-search-ad set.

  • Over-limit warnings

    Rows over their limit are flagged with the overage amount.

  • Copy-only scope

    The tool checks length, not ad approval, policy risk, pinning, or expected performance.

Google Ads Character Counter Questions

  • Q: What can I copy or download? A: You can copy the character report for review or upload prep.
