What is the Review ad format?

You're putting actual customer review text front and center — not just star ratings or a generic "thousands of 5-star reviews," but the real words someone wrote about your product. This works best when you have reviews that name a specific problem or outcome, so pull quotes that sound like your target customer talking, not bland praise. Use this when someone's close to buying and just needs that final nudge of social proof to feel confident hitting checkout.
