The role of automation should be to supplement your skills, not to replace them. It has been a source of frustration for many PPC practitioners that Google and other platforms have been implementing increasing automation. At SMX Next, Michelle Morgan and Joe Martinez shared how they find a balance between human knowledge and machine learning for four campaign types, including:

  1. Smart Display with pay for conversions
  2. Dynamic Search Ads with exclusions and negative keywords
  3. Custom video campaigns
  4. Broad match and smart bidding with remarketing lists

 

Google kills FLoC, introduces Topics API as its next-gen targeting tech

By George Nguyen | Jan 25, 2022 | Search Engine Land

Read the article here.

Google will replace FLoC with a new interest-based targeting proposal called Topics. The Topics API will select topics of interest (based on the user’s browsing history), without involving external servers, and share those topics with participating sites. “When a user visits a participating site, Topics selects three topics to share (one from each of the previous three weeks) with the site and its advertising partners. Up to five topics are associated with the browser. Topics are stored for three weeks, with topic selection occuring on the device, without involving any external servers, including Google’s own servers,” writes George Nguyen. The main distinction between FLoC and the Topics API is that Topics does not group users into cohorts.

 

Google Ads scripts rolls out support for asset-based video ads

Google Ads scripts now support asset-based video ads. “Advertisers that have scripts to create new video ads must migrate their code by February 28, 2022. After that date, media-based video ads will no longer be supported and their scripts will start failing with errors,” writes George Nguyen.
