✅ Display Path

Each element has a specific role, and should be exploited intelligently to attract the user and motivate them to click.

Step One: Understand the Search Intent

Before you write anything, ask yourself:

Keyword: “The best laptop for studying” Intent: Research – comparison

Example 2:

Word: “Buying a Dell laptop in Jeddah.” Intent: Direct purchase

The title is the first thing the user sees. If it's not interesting, he won't finish.

✅ Rules for writing an attractive title:

Make the title speak to a direct benefit

Examples:

“Buy a Dell laptop today – up to 25% off”
“High-performance laptops – immediate delivery to Jeddah”
"Laptop for study, price starting from 1499 riyals"

📌 Don't use generic titles like: "High-quality laptops." People don't focus on generalities...but on what benefits them now.

Prices
Offers

✅ These extensions don't cost you more, but they give your ad more space and increase your click-through rate (CTR).
