Google is changing your Search campaigns for you. No opt-in required.
Since 1 September, campaigns running broad match or auto-created assets have been quietly migrating to AI Max. Dynamic Search Ads are next.
It hands more of the day-to-day over to Google's automation:
- Keywords become signals rather than strict rules
- Your ad copy can be rewritten to match the search
- Clicks can be routed to a different page on your site
- You become eligible for placements inside AI Overviews and AI Mode
Set up well, it can lift conversions drastically. Set up badly, it can quietly spend more and call it growth.
The difference is what you sort before the switch flips: clean conversion tracking, tight brand controls, sensible URL rules and honest measurement.
We've broken down the full pre-migration checklist on the blog. Link in the comments below.
