TABOOLA DO’S AND DONTS
Taboola Image Best Practices:

  • Use an image where the subject of the photo is

  • Looking into the camera

  • If you are using your ad to sell a product, be sure to include that product in the image

  • Photographs usually win over cartoon characters

  • Images without text usually work better

  • Images of animals are usually getting higher

  • CTRs, check if it is true with your filter selection

  • Recommend images with people

  • Close up images are usually more engaging

Taboola Title Best Practices

  • Use keywords that speak directly to products and services being sold

  • Qualify audience: such as “senior”, “singles” etc..

  • Use a list to create familiarity with the user and set an expectation of the post click experience

  • Ask a direct question of the user to pique interest and pre-qualify the audience

  • Provide a trustworthy but definitive benefit statement about the content, product, or brand

  • Tell a story with a dangling resolution to draw the user in

  • Use bandwagoning to call out the audience and create fomo

  • Use low-commitment language to supplement bigger actions

  • Use a clear call-to-action to drive user intent
