Google Ads Now Labels Search Terms with Limited Usage as ‘Private’
Google Ads has enhanced its Performance Max campaigns by revealing private search phrases, providing advertisers with valuable data on less frequent search queries.
A new feature has been discovered in Google Ads, specifically within Performance Max campaigns, which flags “private search terms” that have garnered less than 50 distinct searches in the past 90-day period.
A potential shift is on the horizon that may alter the way advertisers access and examine search query data within Performance Max campaigns, which could limit their capacity to refine their strategies based on precise user search behaviors.
Advertisers have expressed frustration with Google’s lack of transparency regarding search term data, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of important search terms. While specific search details are not provided, some insights are available for low volume keywords, which could assist in shaping overall marketing strategies.
