Total Budget in Demand Gen Campaigns

The Demand Gen campaigns now offer the option to set a total budget for the entire campaign (previously, only a daily budget was available).

What Does this Mean for You?

If you choose this budget allocation method during the campaign run, you must provide an end date so the Google Ads system knows how to manage the allocated funds. This ensures that the budget stays within the defined limits and won’t be exceeded.

Automatic Video Adjustments in PMax Campaigns

A new feature for automatic video enhancements has been introduced in Performance Max campaign settings. Google will now be able to create alternative video formats and generate shorter versions of the videos.

What Does this Mean for You?

Upon obtaining the appropriate certification, you will be able to advertise beer and share information about it. However, the sale of alcohol, as well as the advertising of other types of alcohol, will remain prohibited.

Recommendations for Automatically Increasing Campaign Budgets

Once implemented, the “Set Target ROAS” recommendation will automatically increase the daily budget of the campaign. Previously, when the Google Ads recommendation system suggested a change to the daily budget, manual approval was required.

What Does this Mean for You?

It’s important to closely monitor Google Ads activities if you opt for this recommendation to prevent unexpected budget overruns.

Changes in Video Campaigns and Related Conversions

In 2025, video campaigns aimed at driving conversions, also known as action-oriented video campaigns, will be replaced by demand generation campaigns.
