Automation

  1. A new asset library will be available for you to store all your creative assets.
  2. There will be a series of updates rolling out to Perfomance Max campaigns including A/B testing, optimising for in-store sales, better performance insights, optimisation score and recommendations.
  3. New reports will be added to the Insights Page, including budget insights, audience insights and attribution insights.
  4. Mobile-first layouts will be introduced for Responsive Display Ads.

Video Ads
