Creating ads with dynamic headline insertion using ad customizers in Bing Ads (Microsoft Ads) involves several steps to ensure your ad copy is personalized and relevant based on real-time data or user interactions. Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up dynamic headline insertion:

### **1. Define Your Dynamic Headline Strategy**

1. **Determine the Purpose:**
   - Decide what you want to achieve with dynamic headlines. Common goals include increasing relevance by matching user search queries or personalizing ads based on user behavior.

2. **Identify Relevant Data:**
   - Determine what data or parameters will be used to dynamically insert into headlines. This could include keywords, product names, promotions, or other custom data.

### **2. Create a Business Data Feed (if applicable)**

1. **Prepare Your Data Feed:**
   - If using a business data feed, prepare a file with columns for the dynamic content you want to insert. For example, you might have columns for `ProductName`, `Price`, or `Promotion`.

2. **Upload Your Feed:**
   - Go to **"Tools"** > **"Business Data"** in Microsoft Ads.
   - Click **"Create feed"** or **"Upload feed"** to add your business data feed. Ensure your feed is formatted correctly according to Microsoft Ads specifications.

### **3. Set Up Ad Customizers**

1. **Navigate to Ad Customizers:**

   - Select **"Ad customizers"** from the navigation menu.

2. **Create a New Ad Customizer:**
   - Click **"Create ad customizer"**.
   - Define the parameters that will be used in your dynamic headlines. For instance, if you want to include product names, set up a parameter like `{=Feed.ProductName}`.

### **4. Create or Edit Ads with Dynamic Headlines**

1. **Access Ad Creation:**
   - Go to the **"Ads & extensions"** tab and select **"Create ad"** or **"Edit"** an existing ad.

2. **Insert Dynamic Headline Parameters:**

     "Buy {=Feed.ProductName} Now!"
     ```
   - Ensure that your dynamic headlines are within the character limits specified by Bing Ads.

3. **Customize Based on User Data:**
   - Use parameters to personalize headlines based on user behavior or search queries. For example, you can use keyword insertion to match user search terms.

### **5. Apply Customizers to Ad Groups**

1. **Select Relevant Ad Groups:**
   - Choose the ad groups where you want to apply the dynamic headlines.

2. **Assign Ad Customizers:**
   - Ensure that the ad customizers are applied to the relevant campaigns or ad groups. This will ensure that your ads are dynamically generated based on the parameters you've set.

### **6. Review and Test Ads**

1. **Preview Ads:**
   - Use the preview tool in Bing Ads to see how your ads will appear with the dynamic headlines. Check for accuracy and relevance.

2. **Save and Submit for Review:**
   - Save your ads and submit them for review. Ads with dynamic headlines may undergo an approval process, which typically takes a few hours.

### **7. Monitor and Optimize**

1. **Track Performance Metrics:**
   - Monitor metrics such as click-through rate (CTR), conversion rate, and engagement to evaluate the effectiveness of your dynamic headlines.

2. **Adjust and Refine:**

   - Use automated rules to manage your dynamic headlines. For example, you can automatically update headlines based on changes in promotions or product availability.

2. **Use Dynamic Text Insertion:**
   - Implement dynamic text insertion to automatically adjust headlines based on real-time data or user interactions.
