Google Ads Performance Max Campaigns Assets

Assets are the separate sections of content such as images, headlines, videos, final URL, and HTML5 bundles. You can upload these assets to your Google Ads account and associate them with different advertisements. Google Ads Performance Max campaigns automatically assemble the relevant assets to create the perfect combinations.
You can create different types of assets by using the assets service of Google Ads and then merge them into your ads account. Moreover, you can manage the association between individual assets and ads by using ads-level operations. The uploaded assets can be used to build asset-based ad types.
The collection of all the required assets in a group is called the Asset group.
Following are some of the Google Ads Performance Max assets that one can find in the asset type column.
- Description
- Image
- Headline
- Long Headline
- YouTube Video
The performance column in Google Ads allocates and ranks the assets against other assets based on their performances.
- Low Performance
- Good Performance
- Best Performance
Optimisation of Asset Groups
The primary purpose of optimising the asset groups is to improve and develop the efficiency of the Google Ads Performance Max campaigns.
Optimisation of Google Ads Performance Max assets groups refers to the replacement of low-performing assets with the identical best-performing assets. An asset group is a combo of the product group and ad group. Therefore, it should be optimised to enhance performance.
Always replace the low-performing assets instead of deleting them because it will affect the advertisement service of the campaign.

Steps To Add Assets To An Asset Group
Adding the assets to an asset group is not a hard nut to crack. You can easily form a relevant asset group by adding the required assets. Then, leave the rest on Google Ads Performance Max campaigns.
The following are two simple steps to add assets to an asset group;
- Give a name to the asset group:
Assigning a specific name to the asset group is the basic step. It is essential to name the asset group because it helps to find the theme of your asset group.
- Add assets
Once you have assigned a name to your asset group, add assets to it. Add the relevant assets such as headlines, videos, URLs, business names, images, logos, etc., to the asset group.
