Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Time-sensitive promotions in Google Ads need specific tactics because the platform decides which ad assets appear. Countdown customizers show the remaining time until an offer ends and create urgency. The countdown can display days and switch to hours and minutes on the final day. Promotion assets add a 25 character line that highlights a discount and can include start and end dates. Callout and sitelink assets can also highlight offers, though too many assets can reduce how often the promotion message appears.
