What will Google’s AI option do for marketers?
For over a year, Google has been discouraging A/B testing and encouraging adding 3 ads per ad group. In a nutshell, it drives multi variant testing to accelerate performance. The basics are you submit an ad, 15 headlines, 4 descriptions, logos, and photos.
Google Ads will then show combinations more relevant to the user’s intent across it’s channels: Search, YouTube, Display, Apps, Maps, and so on.
New ad formats will be big on real estate!
The new ads can show as many as 3 headlines and 2 descriptions.The descriptions are even larger and will be expanded to 90 characters, expanded from 80. You can also pin a headline to a specific position. Not only that, cross device reporting allows an expanded remarketing opportunity.
