4. **Select Dynamic Search Ads as the Campaign Goal**:
   - Choose the goal that aligns with your advertising objectives, such as Sales, Leads, or Website Traffic.
   - For Dynamic Search Ads, you can choose any relevant goal as DSAs aim to drive traffic by dynamically matching user searches with relevant content on your website.

   - Under "Dynamic ad targets," select how you want Google to target your ads:

     - **Categories**: Google will use specific categories or sections of your website to generate ads.
     - **Specific pages**: You can choose specific landing pages or URL conditions to target.

   - Each ad group corresponds to a specific category or section of your website.

8. **Write Ad Text**:
   - Write a compelling description line for your ad. This description line will be used in your Dynamic Search Ads.

    - Use performance data (e.g., clicks, conversions, ROI) to make informed decisions about bid adjustments, negative keyword implementation, and other optimizations to improve campaign effectiveness.

### Best Practices for Dynamic Search Ads:
