I'm here to elaborate on why we don't generally like Performance Max, while we have seen some upsides to using them they aren't the "go-to" for many reasons. They target every Network - this sounds nice but they don't tell you have much spend goes to each network and when you try and segment...

There is no way to do this on the images for search ads and I doubt there will be an option to do this down the road as these images are just here to complement ads with a visual

Hey Luisa! There is no direct way to target ads on the map pack. We have seen them more effectively targeted by running a "Performance Max" campaign but this would also have you showing on Display/YouTube/Discovery. Your best bet would be to just run a normal search campaign with a location...

@Chris Ratchford are you still getting this "operation" issue? If you try logging into an incognito window (or doing a hard refresh) and updating it that way, it might do the trick. If that doesn't work you'll likely need to contact Google Support get them to take a look at the issue If for...

Hey @Chris Ratchford Do you already have an ad schedule set for the local campaign? If not, this would solve your issue! I swear they change the smart campaign interface more than chameleon in a candy store! To get to the ad schedule you just open the campaign, scroll to the bottom where it...

Hey @JoshuaMackens So it isn't the only way to show up in the gmb results. As long as you are running a location extension you will be eligible to show for them. There is no way to target them directly but one of the ways that can help you get more activity from them is targeting a radius...

Hey @MoneypennyCO In my experience with remarketing for personal injury lawyers, 9 times out of ten the list will be disabled because it falls under the "Personal Hardship" or "Health in personalized advertising", in the sensitive interest categories of the policy which can be found here -...

Hey Mitesh, This was mostly a UI update on the products beta side which I have seen rolled out on some accounts. But not much has changed on the technical side. You can create a new "category" directly within the posts portion (which it looks like that is where you are from your screenshot)...

Hey @Digitaldar The fine print on their policy page for this says "If you’ve never used Customer Match and don’t have an assigned account manager, your account is currently ineligible to use Customer Match, even if it otherwise meets the requirements above. In the future, we’ll offer an...

Hey Caroline! This is really tough to answer since I can't see the account haha The first thing I would do is check your impression share across each keyword you are targetting by adding in the column if you are looking over the auction insights it just does the average for everything bundled...

I am also a believer in if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But there is always room to improve, right? I am not fully up to speed with the new smart campaigns, mostly because I despised AdWords Express, so it wasn't something I looked into when it came out. But from the sounds of it, and with a...

The cost per call is higher generally because most of the time it is a solid lead, and if it's not, you can usually dispute it and get your money back. You shouldn't need to worry about causing more competition since they are separate, and if there are already other local service ads showing...

From what I've seen, If you set up a call only ad inside an ad group with text ads, 9 times out of 10 the text ad will show instead of the call only ad. I believe this is related to the ad rank being higher on the text ad vs the call only ad. So to avoid competing against yourself (since you'd...

Automated rules are great, but I find they can be very restricting depending on what you're trying to achieve. Scripts would be a better way to do this, but if you don't have experience with Javascript it may get a little confusing so there are some companies you can pay that do it all for you...
