With remarketing being such a powerful tool in so many campaigns, this organisation can only be a good thing!

A small change that will change the way SERPs look - Google is testing out a new way to present site links. Google often play around with how their site links look and this time they seem to be trying out a vertical list of three.
When setting up an account, we always suggest using ad extensions to bolster your ad quality. In this case, a vertical list could mean a slight increase on SERP real estate, making site links more important than ever!
