Drive sales and reach more customers with new Shopping campaigns

Shoppers are looking for and researching products across all devices in more ways than ever before: searching online, watching product review videos, reading blog posts, browsing in apps, reading product ratings, etc. Each of these moments creates a new opportunity for you to get your product in front of a potential customer. Yet, it’s a challenge to manage across channels, products, technology, and data to reach today’s customers – all while trying to hit your marketing objectives.Introducing Shopping campaigns that are goal-optimizedThe next generation of Shopping campaigns empowers you to tackle this challenge head-on by tapping into the power of automation and machine learning to maximize your conversion value. For example, if you’ve defined your conversion value to be “revenue,” the goal-optimized campaign type will automatically optimize across networks to maximize “revenue” based on your budget constraints. The new Shopping campaign type also combines the channels previously available through separate Shopping and display remarketing campaigns into one campaign so you can maximize your reach and simplify campaign management.While standard Shopping campaigns will continue to provide a more manual option, the new Shopping campaign type offers a fully-automated solution to drive sales and reach more customers. Managing your Shopping campaigns has never been easier. Drive conversion value with automation and machine learningCombined with signals like intent and context, there are a vast number of variables to consider when making important optimization decisions. The new Shopping campaign type is automatically goal-optimized and will take the guesswork out of your day-to-day optimizations to deliver your marketing goal, whether it’s maximizing conversion value or maximizing conversion value at a specific return on ad spend (ROAS). Our systems will evaluate all available signals and use machine learning to predict the likelihood of a search query to convert so you can make the most of your budget across networks, products, and audiences.Find more customers with unparalleled reachThe new Shopping campaign type combines Shopping and display remarketing campaigns to deliver your ads across Google’s entire suite of sites and networks.
