Google Ads announced that it would no longer allow the creation of Expanded Text Ads (ETAs) after June 2022. We’ve asked some of the industry experts to weigh in with their thoughts on the changes and what advertisers should do to prepare. Of the folks we spoke to, nearly every single advertiser mentioned that they had assumed the change was eventually coming, and that they weren’t surprised by the change. Most saw this change coming when the interface was updated to make Responsive Search Ads (RSAs) the default for new ad creation. Though the change didn’t come as a surprise, it still hasn’t been well received. See reactions from Kirk Williams, Julie Bacchini, Michelle Morgan, Tim Jensen, Navah Hopkins, Joe Martinez, Brooke Osmundson, Robert Brady, and Mark Irvine.

With a focus on a more private browsing experience, Google has announced that it will deprecate third-party cookies. Not long after, it announced the concept of Federated Learning of Cohorts, or FLoC, to create solutions and alternatives for advertisers while maintaining privacy for users.

So in this post, I’m going to help you understand what FLoC means for advertisers by answering seven key questions and the goal of this post is to help answer some of those common questions. If you’ve ever wondered what FLoC is, how it will work, or why it was developed, this post is for you. You’re going to learn:

  • What Google FLoC is and how it relates to third-party cookies.
  • How FLoC works and why it’s gotten backlash.
  • What you can do to stay on top of advertising in a cookieless world.
