New Search Campaign Tools Unveiled
•Google AI
•New Customer Bidding
Should you use them to gain an advantage over your competitors?
/Google Ads Thread/
As we dig into these 2 new features...we need to remember Google's goal
Relevance Above All Else
(the more relevant, the more returning and new users they will have, and thus more 💰)
So if Relevance is the ultimate goal (Search Query > Ad > Offer)
What can Google help with?
#1 Improve Ad Creatives to Match User's Search
High level?
> Enter Google AI
Product level?
> Enter "Automatically Created Assets"
this was announced way back in May of 2022 and has been in beta for a lot of accounts already
but now it's a fully open beta
what does it do?
they claim to build Headers & Descriptions to create more "Relevant" ads
How do they do this?
They use these sources:
1. Ad Landing Page
2. Other Relevant pages on the same domain
3. Existing ad creatives in the ad group
4. Keywords in the ad group
so what's new tool #2?
#2 Focus on New Customers w/ Search
another tool that has been in beta for a while has fully opened up to all accounts
New Customer Bidding w/ Search Campaigns
sounds like a great idea since this is ultimately most of our goals (increase the overall # of new customers)
how?
New Customer Bidding = 2 Modes
1. Value-Based
> aka value new customers OVER existing
> can get sticky quickly since you will have "fake" revenue in your account
2. Target-Based
> aka bidding ONLY for new customers
> rarely has worked in beta due to killing campaigns lol
Over the past 2 years, the "value-based" strategy has been a cool feature
(especially w/ smart shopping)
however, then you're dealing w/ fake revenue, and you/your clients/your boss can get confused quickly
--> it turns into more of a teaching moment than an actual use case
So far I've seen "target-based" work a couple of times w/ PMAX but haven't tested it enough w/ search campaigns to give you an accurate opinion on it
(maybe @kasimaslam, @TaylorHoliday, @PPCKirk or @mikeryanretail have had different or similar experiences)
