PMax Asset Experiment - Feed-only vs Full Asset - Google Ads Updates 2025

𝐏𝐌𝐚𝐱 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬! You will soon be able to try the new "π€π¬π¬πžπ­ π“πžπ¬π­π’π§π " option in your PMax campaigns. Find out about this new feature!


With Asset testing you can test under a single PMax Feed-only vs Assets. Furthermore, Google is working on more test options it says on their new Support Page.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐒𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐀𝐬?
↳ Unlike other experiment types that test 2 separate campaigns, asset testing for Performance Max campaigns uses a single campaign, splitting the traffic into a control group and a treatment group.

↳ This approach reduces the learning period and delivers faster results.

π“π«πšπŸπŸπ’πœ 𝐬𝐩π₯𝐒𝐭:
↳ Control group: Your existing Performance Max campaign with a Merchant Center product feed and no additional assets.

↳ Treatment group: The same Performance Max campaign, but with assets you've added.

π‘πžπœπ¨π¦π¦πžπ§ππšπ­π’π¨π§π¬:
↳ Make sure you don’t change the settings of automatically created assets, Final URL expansion, or video enhancement feature after you create the experiment.

↳ Don’t change any assets in the campaign after the experiment has started.

𝐀π₯π₯ 𝐒𝐧 𝐀π₯π₯:
↳ After the β€œPMax Experiments for Automated Asset Testing” in 2024, Google Ads activates another in-campaign experiment.

↳ Hopefully they are not coming after our beloved feed-only campaigns for E-Com accounts.
