About the new Google Ads experience

30/11/2019

With easier navigation and exclusive tools, the new Google Ads experience makes it easier to reach new customers and grow your business. 

Benefits

  • Exclusive features like call bid adjustments and new Shopping campaigns (goal optimized).
  • Create and improve campaigns based on your unique business goals.
  • Save time and get more done with faster access to the features you use most.
  • Gain actionable insights with new graphs and powerful reporting tools.
  • Same Google Ads performance you're used to, so your campaigns continue to run the same way you're already familiar with.

Feature differences between the previous and new Google Ads

Many of the reporting changes you make in the old experience, like saving a filter, will not be reflected in the new experience. We recommend that you make reporting changes in the new Google Ads experience.
Work done in the Report Editor will be synced between both experiences.

Some names and features have changed in the new Google Ads experience from what you might be used to in the previous experience. Here's a summary of the differences:

Previous experience What's changed in the new experience
Ad gallery No longer available as a standalone tool. Create responsive ads, lightbox ads, and Gmail ads during Display campaign set-up.
Auction insights Available at the top of the “Campaigns,” “Ad groups,” and “Keywords” pages
Audience lists Now available during Search campaign creation. When you create a new Search campaign, select Audiences as you choose your campaign settings.
Audiences targeting “Target & bid” now called “Targeting”
“Bid only” now called “Observations"
"Dimensions" tab reports Now called "Predefined reports" and available from the reporting icon in the top right of your account
Display Planner  No longer available as a standalone tool. You can see your reach and performance estimates during Display campaign creation
Gear icon features, Shared library, bulk operations, features under the “Tools” drop-down menu Moved under the tool icon in the top right of your account

Search Network with Display Select campaigns

Now available during Search campaign creation. When you create a new Search campaign, choose “Add Display Network.”

Image ads are no longer available in Search Network with Display Select campaigns. Instead, create a responsive ad.

Total conversion value (“Total conv. value” column header in your data tables) Now called "conversion value" ("Conv. value" column header in your data tables)
Webpages in conversion tracking To see the webpages where conversions occur, go to your “Conversion actions” table and click on a website conversion action. Then, click Webpages along the top of the page.
