This would help marketers gain a better understanding of how their campaigns are doing and how they can optimise them. Recently, Google announced the launch of a feature within Performance Max, which marketers were long waiting for –\u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsupport.google.com\u002Fgoogle-ads\u002Fanswer\u002F11465047\"> Placement Reports\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Placements Reports for Performance Max can easily be found under \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fhow-to-use-performance-max\u002F#visibility-within-performance-max\">Predefined reports in Google Ads\u003C\u002Fa>, as shown below. Here, marketers can find all of the websites and mobile applications ads appeared on, as well as seeing the number of impressions for the dates you select.

Moreover, they can see where their ads showed most often and plan their marketing decisions accordingly. For instance, seeing the webpage or mobile app where their ads appeared more, marketers could choose to target audiences most interested in those placements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Although this information is helpful in painting an overall picture, the report is still limited, allowing marketers to see placements only from Google’s owned and operated platforms such as YouTube, Gmail, Discover, but not Display for instance. Moreover, Google only shows the number of impressions at the account or campaign level, but does not include any other performance metrics such as clicks or conversions. Presumably, in the next few months, Google will start rolling out more performance metrics on these reports, to offer marketers all the tools they need to run successful Performance Max campaigns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1240\" height=\"867\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2022\u002F09\u002Fperformance-max-campaign-placement-report-example-min.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"Performance Max campaign placement report with impressions and placement type and web domain.\" class=\"wp-image-19399\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"value-adjustments\">Google rolls out value adjustments for conversion goals\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail is-resized\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fimages.impression.co.uk\u002F2021\u002F10\u002FIKG4iH4i-amberlight.png?auto=compress%2Cformat&q=90\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11704\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To allow businesses to further optimise towards their KPIs, Google has rolled out a new functionality within Google Ads, which allows marketers to \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsupport.google.com\u002Fgoogle-ads\u002Fanswer\u002F12487857\">set value adjustments to their conversion goals\u003C\u002Fa>. This function is available under the Tools and Settings tab in Conversions, and allows for value rules to be applied to shop visits and shop sales conversion goals, as well as provides a range of conditions to be applied for further granularity.

If a business values online sales more, it could decrease the value of store visits by a certain percentage to allow Google’s smart bidding to optimise more towards ecommerce sales. This is particularly useful for marketers during peak season, as the online and offline trends are evolving differently between Black Friday, Cyber Week and Christmas, and shopping patterns differ for customers for each business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, this new feature allows marketers to select conditions to their rules such as geographic location, audiences and devices, which enables further customisation of the conversion goals.
