Wondering if you can put emojis in Google ads for your jewelry store to boost your clickthrough rate?

For jewelry stores making use of paid advertising online to grow their marketing reach and brand, emojis can seem like an attractive way to get the edge and stand out. With so many different choices, ranging from people to diamonds to hearts galore, it can seem like a veritable buffet of ideas for jewelry store ads.

It's worth considering things from Google’s point of view. Before you go adding lots of hearts and diamonds to your ads, ask yourself this: 

A Look from Google’s Point of View

If you were searching for diamond engagement rings, and every jewelry store in your area was advertising on Google, would you want to have ads with lots of tiny graphics in  everywhere you look? 

It would be distracting and cluttered and Google is all about the user’s search experience. It wants users to find what they’re looking for, quickly and accurately. And it can’t do that if every ad and website is trying to stand out with unique imagery along with the text. 

To that end, although you may try to get some Google ads past the review process with emojis, it’s technically against Google’s policy and doing it multiple times could get your account flagged.

Our advice? Don’t risk it. There are far better ways for your online jewelry store stand out from the crowd, including:

A Delightful User Experience
