1. Gemini models now help you craft more effective, multilingual Search strategies
When customers are searching, Google Search connects them with the appropriate companies that can provide what they need. This gives companies enormous chances to reach out to clients when they require help achieving goals and a return on investment. Hundreds of thousands of organizations have already used generative AI to create high-performing Search marketing thanks to the conversational experience for Search campaigns.

In this instance, the vacation rental marketplace HomeToGo is creating optimal headlines and descriptions for Search advertisements by using the conversational experience.
2. Additional methods to use generative AI to further your creative vision
The buying journeys of consumers are highly unpredictable, thus your advertising approach must be as adaptable. Google AI powers Performance Max from start to finish, dynamically allocating your money to increase conversions across all of Google’s channels and audience segments. Google Performance Max programs generated a 19% greater return on ad spend (ROAS) in 2023 than AI-powered and automated performance campaigns on the leading social platform by share of spend in MMMs conducted by TransUnion among Retail & Consumer Electronics advertisers in the U.S.
Demand Gen campaigns are the solution if you want to reach out to customers who might not be actively looking but are curious to learn more. Using non-search inventory and engaging, visual-first storytelling on YouTube, they generate and convert demand. Additionally, demand generation campaigns let you personalize your Google AI approach according to audience, channel, and creativity to create messages specifically for the clients who matter most to you. Demand Gen add-ons to Search and/or Performance Max ads increased conversion rates by 14% on average for advertisers.
A large volume and variety of creative materials are crucial for any AI-powered campaign. Google is extending AI-powered picture editing to new campaigns outside of Performance Max in order to assist. Improved picture assets are now available for use in Search, Demand Gen, App, and Display campaigns. You may also use Google Merchant Center to choose and alter photos of your own items to highlight them.
Additionally, Google offers asset generation in the following six languages: Dutch, Italian, German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. A greater range of ad language and pictures for your Performance Max, Demand Gen, App, and Display campaigns—as well as anywhere else you wish to use them—will be effortlessly generated by more advertisers.
3. Grow and maximize your resources while maintaining control
Not take the role of human creativity, but instead use AI to open up new possibilities for its development. As a result, Google is creating new ways for you to participate in this creative process. You can now watch how AI generates new images that fit your company’s style using a prompt and up to five reference shots.
You will have more freedom when the Performance Max brand standards become fully accessible to the public beginning next month. Define and submit specific brand elements, such as fonts, colors, and logos, to ensure that your brand identity is visually consistent across ad formats.
Furthermore, Google is making Demand Gen creative options available to all advertisers. You may pin video assets to specific formats and surfaces so that your most impactful visuals appear exactly where you want them.
4. Performance Max: Better outcomes with a deeper understanding
Creating high-performing creativity requires constant optimization and a thorough comprehension of what functions well and poorly. You may create a clear path to outstanding Ad Strength with the aid of our most recent creative reporting. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance asset reporting, Google has started adding conversion data for every asset. Additionally, beginning next month, Performance Max will offer enhanced asset coverage data that will assist you in identifying failing asset groupings and provide you with detailed suggestions on how to enhance them, such as adding 2 long headlines or add 3 square images.
Additionally, Google provides you with enhanced visibility into the performance of your campaigns, beginning with a revamp of performance insights. With target pacing insights, you can effortlessly track progress toward your CPA and ROAS goals. Recognize whether a campaign is on track to deliver results within the expected bid target. If not, seamless integration with explanations reveals the contributing factors — whether it’s bid strategies adjusting to recent market shifts or budget limitations influencing results. From there, leverage tailored recommendations to steer your campaigns back on course.
Performance Max will also be receiving impression share reporting for the first time. Check out how often you appear for text and shopping advertisements on the search results page to see how the competition is doing and whether there is anything you can do to get more exposure.
5. Your approach to media management
Google has been attentive to your suggestions regarding the need for more controls in campaigns driven by AI. Google is pleased to announce the beta release of Performance Max’s campaign-level negative keywords. By the end of the year, we’ll begin implementing this much-requested functionality to make sure your advertising on Search inventory matches the demands of your target demographic and your unique brand.
Demand Gen campaigns are also going to get new optimization levers. In order to assist you in increasing conversions both online and in-store, omnichannel bidding will be made available in beta in the upcoming months.
Last but not least, Google will provide the ability to purchase Demand Gen campaigns in Display & Video 360 in October, offering you even more adaptability and efficiency within your current processes.
And in case you missed it, Google recently unveiled secret matching, a significant advancement in safe data processing, last week. It was developed using secure computing technologies to revolutionize the way companies safely handle their first-party data.
