Pros and cons. Most common con: If all the competitors do it already, it can pay off not to do it.

@rosebud why is this?

@equine First priority is to win the war of eyeballs. When everyone zigs, then zag. When in every ad the search terms are built in and in yours not, then you your ads pop out visually. That can lead to more attention, more clicks, more conversions.

That's right. Or you can have it done automatically for you with Dynamic Keyword Insertion ads. But be careful not to have any competitor names in dki campaigns, if they catch their name in your ads that's a lawsuit
