In today’s fast-moving business landscape, especially markets like the UAE, relevance and timing are everything. Whether your business offers tailored travel packages, logistics, or professional services, reaching decision-makers at the right moment can make all the difference.

Dynamic ads are built for doing exactly that. 

How? By customizing your ad content in real-time and helping you stay visible, relevant, and efficient. And while a number of platforms also offer versions of dynamic advertising, Google’s dynamic ad formats are particularly well-suited for intent-driven B2B campaigns.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about dynamic ads. 

What are Dynamic Ads

Dynamic ads are a type of automated digital ad that personalizes content based on user behavior. These ads automatically adjust to show the right product, message or service to the right user, based on their real time behavior and interests. 

You don't have to manually input a specific ad for each keyword or service. These kinds of ads 'dynamically' generate the headlines, URLs, or even images based on what a particular user is searching for, or what they have viewed previously. 

On Google, dynamic search ads fall under two main types: 

1. Dynamic Search Ads (DSAs)

With dynamic search ads, Google scans or indexes your website's content and then matches the search queries of users to your most relevant pages. The system will then automatically generate a headline and direct the user to your best-fitting landing page. 

Example:
If a user searches for “commercial solar energy solutions UAE,” Google can dynamically generate an ad that links directly to your commercial solar services or consultation page.

2. Dynamic Remarketing Ads

Dynamic remarketing ads take personalization a step further. These ads track what a user viewed on your site and then shows them tailored follow-up ads across the Google Display Network.

Example:A logistics company visitor viewed your page on warehousing services but didn’t fill out a lead form. Dynamic remarketing can remind them of your warehousing capabilities through a display ad the next day. This can be done through featuring client case studies or even highlighting your UAE distribution hubs.

How Do Dynamic Ads Work?

Dynamic ads are powered by three core elements:

1. Your Product or Service Feed

This is a structured database of everything you want to advertise—products, listings, services—with details like price, images, descriptions, availability, and more.

2. A Dynamic Ad Template

This is where you define the layout, format, messaging style, and placeholders for dynamic content (for example., “{Product Name} now available for {Price}”).

3. Tracking and Targeting

The ad platform will use tools like Google Ads tag to track users’ actions. This includes what they viewed, added to cart, clicked on, or searched for. The platform will then show dynamic content based on those actions.

Dynamic Search Ads (Google):
  • Data source: Website content
  • Platform: Google Search
  • Best for: Capturing high-intent search queries
Dynamic Remarketing (Google):
  • Data source: User behavior on your site
  • Platform: Google Display Network
  • Best for: Re-engaging past visitors

Once everything’s in place, the platform automatically generates and serves personalised ads across placements like:

  • Google Search and Display
  • YouTube
  • Gmail and Discovery campaigns

Why Dynamic Ads Matter

Dynamic ads aren’t just about clever automation. They’re a conversion powerhouse. 

Here are the top reasons businesses across different sectors are increasingly making them a key part of their performance strategy:

You Can Hyper-Personalize at Scale 

Generic, one-size-fits-all ads simply don't work for today's consumer. In fact, a study reveals that at least 80% of consumers are more likely to buy when you provide tailored ads that match what they are searching for. 

Dynamic ads help you deliver this kind of highly-personalized messaging, whether you have 50 products or 500. 

You Get Higher Engagement and CTRs

Relevance is what drives engagement. When users see ads that speak exactly to their actions or searches, they click more. In fact, according to the numbers, dynamic ads are consistently outperforming static ads, with over a 35% higher CTR. 

Stronger Conversion Rates

The magic of dynamic ads lies in the fact that it's not guesswork; they're targeting users who have already shown interest in your product or service. Whether they viewed a service, downloaded your brochure, or even bounced from a lead form—these users are already in your sales funnel.

Dynamic ads allow you to give them a well-timed and relevant nudge in the right direction.  

You Reduce Waste and Improve ROI

Every impression costs money. And because dynamic ads focus your budget on users who have already demonstrated intent, you minimize on wasted impressions. And because you focus your spend where there is proven engagement, you improve your return on ad spend (ROAS) without increasing budget.

Why Dynamic Ads Work So Well for B2B 

Unlike casual consumers who might click on an ad out of curiosity, B2B buyers are purposeful. They are generally comparing solutions or revisiting options and expect relevant information to be provided at every turn. 

Dynamic ads are designed to address this level of complexity. Here's how:

By Supporting Multi-Touch Journeys 

Prospective clients might visit your site multiple times before they’re ready to engage. In fact, 70% of buyers revisit a search multiple times during their decision-making process. 

With dynamic remarketing, you can keep reminding them of the exact reason they visited earlier. 

You Can Serve Niche Offers 

If you offer layered or customizable services, just writing a separate ad variation could turn into a full-time job. Google Dynamic Ads uses your site's structure to generate specific ads. This makes them especially useful for businesses with highly segmented offerings 

You can Discover Untapped Demand

Dynamic ad campaigns often reveal long-tail keyword queries and content gaps you might not be targeting manually. These insights can also reveal niche service lines you hadn’t considered. 

When to Use—and When Not to Use Dynamic Ads 

Dynamic ads can be incredibly effective, but not always.  

Here's a quick guide to help you decide whether they’re the right fit:

Dynamic ads are ideal when:

  • You have a well-structured, content-rich website that Google can index easily
  • Your products, listings, or service offerings change frequently
  • You want to capture long-tail or unexpected search queries
  • You offer multiple services or products 
  • You want to retarget users based on their exact site behavior

You may want to avoid dynamic ads if:

  • Your website lacks detailed content or a clear structure
  • You require strict control over ad copy, such as in highly branded or legally reviewed campaigns
  • You operate in a regulated industry where compliance risks make automated messaging impractical
  • Your website uses a single-page structure or lacks distinct landing pages

Dynamic ads can do the heavy lifting—but only if they’re set up right.
