Term
Structured Snippet Extension
A Google Ads asset/ad extension that shows a structured list with a fixed header (e.g. "Brands", "Models", "Services") below the ad.
Structured snippet extension — in more detail
Structured snippet extensions add a list of the form Header: Value1, Value2, Value3 to the ad. The header is chosen from a fixed Google list — e.g. “Brands”, “Models”, “Styles”, “Services”, “Destinations”, “Courses”, “Degree programs”. Up to 10 values per snippet can be added; Google shows 3–4 per auction. Unlike sitelinks or callouts, snippets don’t communicate a USP — they structure the assortment or service range, which is especially useful in upper-funnel queries.
Example / In practice
A travel brand sets up two snippets: header “Destinations” with values “Mallorca, Canary Islands, Turkey, Greece, Egypt” and header “Hotel types” with “All-Inclusive, Family hotels, Adults-only, Boutique”. Google renders one of the two per ad depending on search context.
Distinction from similar terms
Callouts are free text without a header; sitelinks are clickable with their own destination URL. Snippets are non-clickable, structured assortment hints. Asset/ad extension is the umbrella term — snippets are one of roughly 10 asset types in Google Ads.
