How to add callouts

Callouts can be added when creating or editing ads. You can do this on the ad editing page under Ad extensions, select Callouts → Add. Callouts must meet the moderation requirements. If a callout doesn't follow the guidelines, it will be rejected during moderation and it won't be served with the ad.

The maximum length of a callout is 25 characters including spaces. The total length of the callout for an ad mustn't exceed 132 characters for desktop impressions and 66 characters for mobile impressions. Callouts can be displayed in any order.

Yandex recommends that you keep callouts short and clear. Once created, you can add a callout to any ad in one or several campaigns.

Callouts cannot be edited. If you want to change a callout, you need to delete it and create a new one.

You can add callouts to multiple ad groups at once with XLS/XLSX files, multiple amendments in multi-editing, Direct Commander, or via the Yandex Direct API.
