Google's Smart Bidding Exploration is a major update that helps marketers find new conversion opportunities by expanding beyond past performance and short-term goals. It allows advertisers to bid on less obvious but valuable queries, increasing reach and qualified leads. Building on AI Max, it targets a wider range of searches, leading to an 18% rise in unique search categories and a 19% boost in conversions, improving campaign success.
Google introduced AI-driven tools to improve advertisers' measurement and first-party data strategies. Incrementality testing now has lower spend thresholds and better methods to identify value. Cross-channel measurement in Google Analytics will provide deeper customer journey insights. Data Manager consolidates data with privacy protections and a new API to boost ROI. These tools help marketers prove ad ROI, manage data, and understand consumer journeys.
Google AI provides tools to help businesses create engaging visual content. Innovations include image-to-video transformation and AI outpainting for ads. The Asset Studio centralizes creative tools for advertisers, while the Product Studio suggests campaign ideas based on trends.

Google is launching agentic capabilities for marketers to enhance performance and reduce workloads. These tools will assist with onboarding, campaign creation, reporting, and troubleshooting in Google Ads and Google Analytics. The agentic expert offers personalized recommendations, while the data expert provides insights for decision-making. Marketing Advisor, an AI tool in Chrome, will help manage marketing tasks and diagnose campaign issues, launching later this year.
Meta Ads now offers 'Value rules' to adjust bids for specific audiences based on age, gender, location, or mobile OS. Advertisers can create up to 10 rules with 2 criteria each to optimize conversions by increasing or decreasing bids for preferred groups. Only the first applicable rule applies if multiple match. This feature helps focus budgets without multiple ad sets but may raise cost per result. Outcomes can be tracked in Ads Manager.
