Google Gallery Ads Might Change Multifamily PPC Forever…Might

REPLI Team • September 24, 2019

 

In early August 2019, Google surprised select advertisers with Beta access to their new shiny wizardry of interactive Gallery Ads.

Google’s new Gallery Ads, were first introduced to us back in May, at the Google Marketing Live Keynote. Select advertisers, for now, will have beta access to showcase their customers beautiful communities at the top of the mobile search results page. That’s right, Google is rewarding advertisers that use this new ad format the coveted ‘top spot’ (1st Position) on the search results page.

So you’re probably wondering what Gallery Ads are, and what they look like aren’t you?
Google Gallery Ads are swipe-able (like Instagram or Facebook Carousel Ads), image-based ads that appear at the top of mobile search results.

These Ads are designed to help you showcase your brand visually where you never were able to do so previously. Visibility has long been a difficult fight for the Multifamily PPC game. Tried and True efforts like structured snippets, expanded text ads, call extensions & price extensions always help, but gallery ads will truly set you apart from your competition.

Gallery Ads are eligible to have 3 unique headlines, up to 8 images and all of those images are eligible to have their own unique tagline. The Multifamily industry relies heavily on having a strong digital presence and great creative to back it up. We’ll now have the ability to push all of that great photography from your landing pages directly to the prospect via Gallery Ads. Boom!

Rebrand Your GBP The Right Way

By Tracy Uhl-McNutt • April 20, 2026
Congratulations, you’ve just gotten access to your Google Business Profile (GBP). Now that the previous owner has handed you the keys to the kingdom, you need to make some updates that align with your branding. Just as you think you’ve gotten everything updated to the new brand and are ready to let the leads roll in, Google smacks you with a dreaded “your edits have been rejected” message. Or even worse, you get a request for re-verification. Well, sh*t. It may take a couple of weeks (or longe r…), but you get everything straightened out and the updates eventually go live. But what if you could have avoided that delay and frustration in the first place?
