Google Ads Unveils New Brand Recommendations Powered by Google AI

Google is thrilled to announce the launch of Brand Recommendations, a new feature powered by Google AI, now live on the Recommendations page of Google Ads. These tailored recommendations are designed to enhance both awareness and consideration campaigns, including cost-per-thousand (CPM) and cost-per-view (CPV) campaigns. Brand Recommendations will appear alongside existing performance-related suggestions for cost-per-action campaigns, providing advertisers with a comprehensive suite of optimization options.

By analyzing an advertiser’s Google Ads account history, campaign settings, and trends across Google, Brand Recommendations automatically generate suggestions that improve the effectiveness and performance of campaigns. These recommendations help advertisers discover new, relevant features and adopt the latest Google Ads best practices to achieve their campaign goals.

Advertisers can now leverage the Recommendations page to optimize their CPM or CPV campaigns for maximum brand impact. These recommendations are customized for each advertiser and are continuously updated. We encourage advertisers to check their recommendations frequently, as Google Ads continually identifies new opportunities and launches new recommendation types.
