Native Web Ads appear as a part of the design of the web page they’re on. Rather than standing out as an Ad, Native Ads tend to have an editorial look and feel, with a softer selling approach. For example, they can appear as recommended content on news sites. We recommend supplementing Image Web Ads with Native Web Ads. Click here to see some examples of Native Web Ads.

Troubleshooting
There are a few items that you can check if you are experiencing issues with your Native Image Web Ads:
- The landing page must include a link to the homepage and/or site privacy policy.
- The destination URL should not redirect to a different website or redirect to a video, for example, a YouTube video.
- GIF Ads cannot loop endlessly or be longer than 30 seconds.
- Review our Advertising Policies Guidelines to learn how you can make sure your ads and site are compliant.
- Ensure that you are not using Third-party Ad tags since these are not supported.
If your Native Image Web Ads appear cropped or appear incorrectly on certain placements:
- Native Ad images should not contain any text. Text can get cropped or not appear in certain placements, which won't deliver an effective ad experience.
- Keep in mind that Publishers have editorial discretion for native ads on their websites. They can choose to resize your images, hide or truncate your descriptions to ensure consistency with their website.
