Google is rolling out a few new products to help you work smarter and get the most out of your omnichannel goals in the coming weeks. We will see two improvements to click-to-message ads:

  • Email forwarding
  • Automatic reply

Additionally, to help measure the success of your click-to-message ads, message reporting will now include message conversions.

To help you take action on store visits, they’re adding insights to data-driven attribution and  Smart Bidding, which uses machine learning to help you improve performance by helping you understand which keywords, ads, ad groups, and campaigns have the greatest effect on your business goals. Store Visits in Google Analytics will start rolling out to eligible advertisers to connect store visits to other marketing efforts that bring customers to your website and then to your store to help you better understand how your online and off-line conversions are affecting each other.

Bing is making two useful changes to their conversion reporting that will help you focus your business decisions and actions across their platform. The first, conversions will now be reported based on the time of the ad click that led to the conversion.

The second, Assists will now be reported based on the time of the ad click that contributed to a conversion. You should find that these changes will improve the performance of ad schedule bid modifiers, as they align better to the time of the click, instead of the conversion.

Apple Search Ads algorithm will then evaluate the ads that are running and, based on engagement, they will choose the to show the better performing ad.

Bing’s ‘Quest for Intelligent Search’ at SMX East

by Eric Enge | Oct 26, 2018
Read the article here.

The Bing team delivered a keynote talk at SMX East this week, “The Quest for Intelligent Search.” Featuring Christi Olson and Frederic Dubut, the presentation contained many insights into the core areas that search engines are investing in to make search better.

Bing approaches the goal of a search engine as to, “Provide searchers with timely, relevant results that they can trust to provide insights about their search queries.” Christi and Frederic then walk you through a discussion of what led them to that goal and ultimately conclude that a search engine should be intelligent, personalized, pervasive, predictive and conversational.
