I would like to know what are allowed non-alphanumeric ASCII characters in Keyword, Sitelink, Callout and Ad text. If you could share full regex for validating each of them would be even better.

Hi Tomas,

There are only a few non-alphanumeric characters that you can use such as dashes and periods. This Help Center guide gives a detailed description on what is allowed or what isn't.

Cheers,

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for your answer, but keyword text rules is only part of the question. Callout, ad and sitelink text has other kind of restrictions. Where can I find detailed information about them?

Hello Tomas,

I have provided the text requirements for each of the following:
  • Ads - check the Using special characters with your ads section
  • Sitelinks - check Link text requirements
  • Callout - check Callout text requirements

Ad "Using special characters with your ads" section is quite vague. Does it mean any ASCII character except the gimmicky ones can be used including `~,.?!@#$%^&*()/\'|"<> ?
