Earlier, targeting by parental status was only available for Display campaigns.

The parental status targeting is of great benefit to businesses belonging to many different industries. For example, companies selling baby products, back to school products, children’s toys, etc. Savvy PPC management professionals can leverage this feature for clients selling real estate or cars. With household income targeting, you can fine-tune Google Ads campaigns to cater to audiences with different price sensitivities.

 

Promotion Extensions in Ad Extensions

White label Google Ads experts have discovered an exciting new ad extension – Promotion extensions – in the renamed ‘Ads and Extensions’ tab. Using the promotion extension, you can highlight promotional offers currently running on your website. By using an extension for highlighting promotion, you can save space in ad copy and fill it with other valuable information. A great way to add value is by mentioning the promotion in one of the two headlines and/or a URL path.

The new reporting UI is also great for managing your Google Ads campaign’s ad scheduling. There are bar graphs and heat maps that show how your ads perform at different times of the day and different days of the week. Also, Google Ads now lets you group search terms and words in word clouds. PPC agency professionals are already using this feature to easily establish new keyword ideas and negative keywords.

 

Advanced Bid Adjustments

The new Google Ads interface makes managing all bid adjustments much easier. Firstly, the way you view and use bid adjustments is much more convenient.

Account managers can use this feature to drive phone calls from call extensions or call-out only campaigns.

 

Don’t Ignore Old UI for Now
