Benefits of the New AdWords Experience
Even if you were particularly fond of the old experience, the new one brings several benefits you can take advantage of.
According to Google, the new AdWords experience makes it easier to create and improve campaigns based on your business goals, get faster access to the features you use most frequently, and take advantage of new graphs and reporting tools to help gain actionable insights.
That’s the overarching message about the new experience from the horse’s mouth – well, Google’s mouth. But there are a few specifics that jump out.
For example, one new feature is an ‘overview’ page that presents users with curated performance insights. These are generated by Google and cover your accounts, campaigns and ad groups.
Usability has also been enhanced thanks to a new navigation panel. This allows users to zone in one your chosen campaigns with greater ease.
There’s also an audience manager tool that unifies targeting options for the Google Display network, as well as bringing together remarketing lists for Search ads.
It’s also easier to adjust bids to help call extensions show more frequently, showcase shopping ads and experiment with ad variations, and target CPA (cost per acquisition) bidding for ad campaigns.
Furthermore, conversion tracking has been enhanced, so you’re in a better position to see how effective your campaigns are proving.
