Dynamic Search Ads (DSAs) are revolutionizing B2B lead generation by leveraging AI to automatically generate ads based on your website content. For businesses looking to fill gaps in traditional keyword-based campaigns and capture high-intent traffic, DSAs offer a powerful solution. In this guide, we’ll break down best practices, optimization strategies, and emerging trends to help you maximize ROI—plus insights into how SalesHive, a leader in B2B sales development, integrates DSAs into its proven Google Ads framework.
What Are Dynamic Search Ads?
Dynamic Search Ads automatically generate headlines and landing pages by crawling your website content. Instead of manually selecting keywords, Google’s AI matches user search queries to relevant pages on your site. This makes DSAs ideal for:
- Capturing long-tail or unexpected search terms
- Promoting complex product catalogs
- Complementing existing keyword-based campaigns
For B2B companies, DSAs help bridge the gap between niche search intent and your solutions, especially when targeting specific industries or use cases.
Best Practices for B2B Dynamic Search Ads
1. Optimize Your Website Structure & Content
Your website is the foundation of DSA success. Ensure your content is:
- Keyword-Rich: Include industry-specific terms (e.g., “enterprise CRM software” or “industrial IoT solutions”) to improve ad relevance.
- Well-Organized: Use clear hierarchies (e.g., /solutions/enterprise-software) to help Google crawl and categorize pages.
- CTA-Driven: Pages with strong calls-to-action (e.g., “Schedule a Demo” or “Download Whitepaper”) generate higher-quality leads.
SalesHive’s Google Ads specialists recommend auditing your site quarterly to remove outdated content and align pages with current campaigns.
2. Refine Targeting with Negative Keywords & Exclusions
Prevent wasted spend by:
- Blocking Irrelevant Terms: Add negative keywords like “free,” “tutorial,” or non-B2B phrases (e.g., “for students”).
- Excluding Non-Strategic Pages: Block blog posts, policy pages, or out-of-stock products from your DSA campaigns.
3. Leverage Automated Bidding
Google’s Smart Bidding uses machine learning to adjust bids in real time for users most likely to convert. For B2B campaigns, prioritize:
- Target CPA (Cost Per Acquisition): Set a target cost for demo requests or lead form submissions.
- Target ROAS (Return on Ad Spend): Optimize for revenue-driven goals like enterprise contract signings.
Advanced Optimization Strategies
Combine DSAs with Audience Targeting
Layer DSAs with:
- Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSA): Target users who previously visited pricing or case study pages.
- Customer Match: Upload existing client emails to exclude them or upsell complementary services.
Craft Compelling Ad Descriptions
While headlines are auto-generated, you control the 80-character description. Highlight:
- Industry-specific pain points (e.g., “Reduce manufacturing downtime”)
- Unique differentiators (e.g., “ISO 27001-certified SaaS platform”)
- Urgency (e.g., “Limited 2024 implementation slots”)
Integrate DSAs with Other Campaign Types
Pair DSAs with:
- Branded Search Campaigns: Protect your brand name while DSAs capture unbranded queries.
- Display/Video Ads: Retarget DSA visitors with LinkedIn or YouTube ads reinforcing your value proposition.

First-Party Data as the New Currency
With third-party cookies phased out, B2B marketers must rely on:
- Gated Content: Offer whitepapers or ROI calculators in exchange for contact details.
- Email Lists: Use newsletter signups to build retargeting audiences.
- CRM Integration: Sync Salesforce or HubSpot data to refine DSA targeting.
