Google Ads announced a number of new features and updates to the ad platform this morning at DMEXCO in Europe. These include negative keywords coming to Performance Max campaigns, new insights and reporting, expanding AI features and much more.
I’ll just bullet point the news, so it is easier to chew on:
- Negative keywords for PMax: Google is bringing campaign-level negative keywords to Performance Max campaigns. This is something Google told us was coming in early 2022, and I thought was here but what do I know. This will roll out by the end of the year.
- New insights and reporting for PMax: Google is offering detailed insights on PMax campaign performance including (1) asset coverage reporting in Q3, (2) a revamped performance insights is available now, (3) target pacing insights and (4) impression share reporting are both rolling out now.
Here are some GIFs of the last two bullet points in action.
