Google Ads has made a significant leap in allowing the control of more brand identity by advertisers on Performance Max campaigns. Ever since the official announcement at Google Marketing Live, a long list of configurations for automated assets – such as fonts, colors, and logos, among others – can now be fine-tuned.
Industry veteran Dario Zannoni recently made available details regarding a rollout of such settings in certain Google Ads accounts. This is welcome news for advertisers that have long required this sort of control of how their brands are presented in PMax campaigns.
A New Era of Brand Customization
The latest update enables advertisers to customize several key aspects of their brand identity:
- Business Name: Tailor the display of your business name to align with your branding guidelines.
- Logo: Upload your preferred logo to ensure consistent brand recognition across ad formats.
- Fonts: Select specific fonts to maintain brand consistency and readability.
- Colors: Choose brand-specific colors to evoke the desired emotional response and enhance brand recall.
This allows for the customization of such components, and Google then permits that in turn creates an opportunity for more consistent and impactful ad experiences on the part of advertisers. For brands with brand identity so strong and consistent to strategy, this level of control is quite valuable.
The Impact on Advertisers
The introduction of these brand customization options is likely to have a profound impact on advertisers in several ways:
- Enhanced Brand Consistency: Advertisers can now ensure that their brand message is delivered consistently across all PMax ad formats, regardless of the automated assets generated.
- Improved Brand Recognition: By controlling elements like logos and fonts, advertisers can strengthen brand recognition and recall.
- Increased Brand Trust: A cohesive and professional brand presentation can help build trust with potential customers.
- Better Performance: A strong brand identity can positively impact ad performance metrics, such as click-through rates and conversions.
A Step Forward for PMax
While indeed powerful for advertisers, its autonomous nature sometimes ends up piquing the minds of the advertiser because they question whether the brand is always consistent. Google is taking the best steps towards further entrenching PMax at the apex of its field by resolving those concerns and being more in control over the brand identity.
Of course, the deployment of these new settings among even more users raises a need for continued adherence to best practices and strategy in the effective utilization of these settings. Meaning, by understanding the nuance in brand customization in PMax, advertisers will most certainly maximize their campaign leads.
