## Best Practices
### Display Ads
- **Brand Consistency**: Use consistent colors, fonts, and visual style across all sizes
- **Clear Hierarchy**: Establish visual hierarchy - image, headline, CTA
- **Minimal Text**: Let imagery do the heavy lifting; Google prefers image-focused ads
- **High Contrast**: Ensure readability across different website backgrounds
- **CTA Visibility**: Make call-to-action buttons stand out clearly
### YouTube Thumbnails
- **Face Forward**: Human faces with eye contact increase click-through rates
- **Bold Colors**: Use contrasting colors that pop against YouTube's white interface
- **Readable Text**: If adding text, ensure it's legible at small sizes
- **Emotional Expression**: Show strong emotions to trigger curiosity
- **Avoid Clutter**: Keep composition simple and focused
### Discovery Ads
- **Native Feel**: Design to blend with organic content, not look like ads
- **Aspirational Imagery**: Use lifestyle images that inspire action
- **High Quality**: Discovery placements favor premium-looking content
- **Mobile-First**: Design for mobile screens where most Discovery traffic comes from
### Performance Max
- **Asset Variety**: Provide multiple images in different ratios for ML optimization
- **Consistent Branding**: Maintain visual consistency across all asset variations
- **Test Different Styles**: Mix lifestyle and product-focused images
- **Avoid Text in Images**: Google's ML works better with text-free images
### Responsive Display
- **Test All Combinations**: Design images that work with any headline/description
- **Safe Zones**: Keep important elements away from edges (15% margin)
- **Scalability**: Ensure images look good from 300px to 1200px wide
## Prompt Tips for Google Ads
When creating Google ad creatives, include these details in your prompt:
1. **Exact Dimensions**: Specify pixel size or aspect ratio (300x250, 1.91:1, etc.)
2. **Ad Format**: Mention if it's for Display, YouTube, Discovery, or Performance Max
3. **Product/Service**: Clearly describe what you're advertising
4. **Visual Focus**: What should be the main visual element?
5. **Color Scheme**: Brand colors or desired palette
6. **Text Space**: Request space for headlines, descriptions, or CTAs
7. **Style Reference**: Professional, playful, minimal, bold, etc.
### Example Prompt Structure
```
"Create a [dimensions] [ad format] for [product/service].
Show [visual description] with [color scheme/style].
Leave space for [text elements].
[Additional requirements like brand guidelines, urgency, etc.]"
```
## Mode Selection
Ask your users before generating:
**"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"**
| Mode | Best For | Speed | Quality |
|------|----------|-------|---------|
| `max` | Final ad creatives, Performance Max assets, A/B testing winners | Slower | Highest |
| `eco` | Quick drafts, concept exploration, bulk banner variations | Faster | Good |
## Multi-Turn Creative Iteration
Use `session_id` to iterate on ad creatives:
```bash
# Initial creative
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
-H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
-d '{
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Create a 300x250 display ad for a fintech app, modern and trustworthy"}],
"model": "eachsense/beta",
"stream": true,
"session_id": "fintech-display-001"
}'
# Iterate based on feedback
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
-H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
-d '{
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Make the background darker, add subtle grid pattern, more techy feel"}],

"model": "eachsense/beta",
"stream": true,
"session_id": "fintech-display-001"

```
## Banner Size Batch Generation

-H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
