Performance Max Asset Groups

A Performance Max asset group is made from the images, logos, headlines, descriptions, and videos you add when you create your Performance Max campaign. Google Ads automatically mixes and matches these assets based on which Google Ad channel, such as YouTube, Gmail, or Search, your ad is being served.

An asset group cannot be shared between campaigns. Each campaign requires at least one asset group. There is a maximum of 100 asset groups per campaign.

Important: In a non-retail Performance Max campaign, an AssetGroup and all AssetGroupAsset objects linking the minimum required assets to that AssetGroup must be created in the same bulk mutate request. Asset requirements may still apply to retail campaigns in some situations.

Asset groups

Key Point: See how to create an asset group using the interactive guide for Performance Max campaigns.

An asset group is a collection of assets centered on a theme or related to a target audience. The asset group is used to assemble all of your ads and build an inventory for all applicable ad formats for your advertising objective. Learn more about asset groups.

Tip: Use the ShareablePreviewService to generate shareable previews of ads for each asset group.

Asset groups contain one or more final URLs. At least one final URL is required. Use the URL that is most relevant to the conversion path for the given asset group and campaign objectives. The final URL of the asset group cannot be excluded from the WEBPAGE campaign criteria.

Key Point: In non-retail Performance Max campaigns, AssetGroup objects cannot be created using the AssetGroupService so that the minimum number of assets requirement can be met. Instead, use a bulk mutate request along with the associated AssetGroupAsset objects.

Link asset groups to assets

Key Point: See how to link assets to asset groups using the interactive guide for Performance Max campaigns.

An AssetGroup is linked to an Asset by creating a new AssetGroupAsset and providing the following:

• Resource name of the AssetGroup
• Resource name of the Asset
• AssetFieldType of the Asset in the AssetGroup

An AssetGroup can be linked to multiple Asset objects. An Asset can be linked to multiple asset groups. One Asset can have different field types in different AssetGroup objects.

AssetGroup operations must be atomic. Partial failure is not supported. Asset groups cannot be modified in a batch process.

Tip: Try using search requests to find assets in your Google Ads account that meet the specifications and requirements for a given field type. Also check if your account has the required assets to create a valid asset group.

Link asset groups to assets in Performance Max retail campaigns

You can create AssetGroup objects in Performance Max retail campaigns without meeting the minimum asset requirements. However, attempting to link an Asset to an AssetGroup using an AssetGroupAsset in any Performance Max campaign triggers all asset requirements to take effect. In other words, AssetGroup objects in Performance Max retail campaigns can only exist in two states:

• Without any linked Asset objects
• Meeting all Asset requirements

As a best practice, we recommend uploading assets to maximize reach across all inventory. However, you must link all required assets in a single request, and you cannot add assets to asset groups one at a time with separate requests.

Preview ads for asset groups

Once you have created asset groups and linked assets to them, you can generate a shareable preview to show how the ads created from each asset group look.

By passing the asset group IDs to ShareablePreviewService.GenerateShareablePreviews, you can retrieve the URLs of the ad previews to be shared with your users, along with their expiration timestamp.

Multiple asset groups

You can create unique asset groups for different final URLs if the assets are not generic enough to be used across URLs in the domain and you are using URL expansion.

You can also create multiple asset groups for the same final URL if you want to customize your assets by audience. You can also create multiple asset groups per theme.
