Shrinkify 2.0

Some advertisers experience a challenge with the character limits on Google Ads search creative headlines. This challenge directly affects their performance and scale, as they cannot use their full headlines in their ads, which leads to lower-quality search ads.

Shrinkify uses the VertexAI PaLM API to shorten long headlines to a certain number of characters in order to overcome this challenge and have better quality ads.
