Grouping themed keywords together helps us better understand the intention of your keywords to select the best keyword + ad option to serve. A good way to consolidate traffic is to have each ad group point to a single landing page. This will allow more volume and more variety of queries per ad group, while still staying on-theme. If not ready to consolidate campaigns, Portfolio Bidding is a good place to start, as it allows you to optimize bids across multiple campaigns to reach your performance goals *Some automated features have volume thresholds, like the Performance Asset label for RSA which only shows if there are 5k+ impressions per month in the ad group

Confidential + Proprietary Broadmatch improvements are happening as we speak Theming - Advertiser Agent New Trumping Hierarchy Quality Improvements Smarter way for our system to choose the best keyword in an account when multiple keywords are eligible for the same query so that advertisers do not have to do this themselves. Advertiser Agent only works when there is more than one keyword in the account that is eligible to serve for a given query. Phrase and Broad Match keywords that are identical to the search term or the spell- corrected search term are preferred over other keywords in the keyword selection process. Previously, only an exact match keyword received preference in keyword selection. Improve query understanding signals by created a new machine learning system based on historically reported bad matches from advertisers to include in our search language understanding model to exclude poor matches and include matches we may have previously excluded.

- 32. Confidential + Proprietary Notall customers are equal in their business value after converting A California-based bank who is focused on LTV and knows local Californians spend twice as much over time as those living outside of California. Before Value Rules, they valued each customer identically A lead generation business who knows mobile users are worth on average $50 more than users converting on other devices, but can’t send those on-the-fly when the conversion tag fires A financial services provider who wants to optimize towards LTV, and knows that existing customers with brokerage accounts invest more, so would like to value those customers twice as much A retailer who is focused on profit and wants to optimize towards users who are in-market for running apparel, because they know they are of higher value to their business Geo location Google Audiences First-Party Audiences Devices Transaction economy vs. customer view
- 33. Confidential + Proprietary Untilnow we used audiences to optimise before transaction happened Keep in mind: Smart Bidding already uses signals like geo, device, and first- party audience lists. If a user in one of those segments converts better, and this is reflected in your reporting, Smart Bidding already accounts for that. Conversion value rules simply allow you to provide additional value information that isn’t already reflected in your account (for example, different margins for different devices or users, or LTV considerations) and optimize in real time to those values
- 34. Confidential + Proprietary Ifyou use Google Ads Conversion Adjustments, keep using it Understand your segmented conversion values Original value (rule applied): total original value of conversions which then had a value rule applied Original value (no rule applied): total recorded value of conversions that did not have a value rule applied Audience, Location, or Device: The net adjustment when value rules were applied After selecting the value rules adjustment segmentation, you will see the following reporting on your campaigns page:
