Elevate your advertising to reach
audiences in a multi-device world
We live in a constantly connected world where most of us carry at least one
device, all the time, every day, and we use our devices interchangeably
depending on our situation, seamlessly transitioning between them. This
technology creates new opportunities for businesses to deliver a message
customized to the specific context of a potential customer, such as their location,
the type of device they are on and the time of day. Marketers have never had a
more powerful reason to be relevant.
AdWords enhanced campaigns help you reach people in the moments that
matter across all devices, with smarter ads that are relevant to intent and
context.
Prepare for enhanced campaigns
Enhanced campaigns make advertising across devices smarter, more powerful
and more measurable. These quick steps will make it easy to take full advantage
of enhanced campaigns functionality:
● Identify all multi-device campaigns and upgrade these first.
● Determine which of your desktop and mobile campaigns have the
same keywords, ads, extensions and location targeting. Combine
these campaigns for simplified campaign management.
● Plan to copy mobile ads and extensions from mobile-only campaigns
to the new enhanced campaign to maintain as much
history/quality as possible.
