29 October 2024 | Adobe Analytics for Advertising | (Advertisers with Adobe Analytics for Advertising and Microsoft Advertising performance max campaigns) Asset group-level data for your performance max campaigns is now available in Adobe Analytics when you implement a new AMO ID (s_kwcid) parameter in the tracking URLs for your performance max campaigns, which don’t include ads and keywords. Tracking for most accounts with performance max campaigns was already migrated to the new format. For accounts with performance max campaigns without the Auto Upload tracking option that weren’t already migrated to the new format, however, you must manually update each landing page suffix to include the following AMO ID format:AL!%(userid)d!%(sid)!%(creativeref)s!!!%(termid/orderid)d!!!%(campaignid)!%(adref) .Adobe Analytics data for your performance max campaigns is also available in Search, Social, & Commerce. | See the new AMO ID format and when and how to add the parameter to your tracking URLs. |
Campaigns | For each performance max and search campaign, you can now choose whether to allow Google Ads to bid higher for new customers, bid only for new customers, or bid equally for new and existing customers. To bid higher for new customers, you must first activate the new customer acquisition goal for your Google Ads account or manager account using Google Ads. The goal definition includes the eligible existing customer lists and the additional conversion value for new customers. | See “Google Ads Campaign Settings.” See also the Google Ads help “About the new customer acquisition goal” and Steps 1-2 in “Activate the new customer acquisition goal.” | |
