You can let Google automatically optimize the size of your ad units on mobile. There's no need to create new ad units or change your ad code. Your existing ad units will change their size based on the context and orientation of the user's device, and may show larger ads, full-width ads, etc. As a result, more ads will be eligible to fill your ad units, potentially leading to an increase in revenue.
This optimization setting only works on mobile-optimized sites and Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). In addition, we're unable to optimize in the following scenarios:
- Iframed ad units (this includes ad units served through ad servers such as Google Ad Manager)
- Ad units within a parent container that has restricted dimensions (e.g., a fixed height,
overflow: hidden, etc.). - A user's first page view, because we use their first page view to get the ad size optimization setting from your account. For the user's subsequent page views, we apply your setting.
