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.

Assets Ranking

The performance column in Google Ads allocates and ranks the assets against other assets based on their performances.

  1. Low Performance
  2. Good Performance
  3. Best Performance

Optimization of Asset Groups

The primary purpose of optimizing the asset groups is to improve and develop the efficiency of the Google Ads Performance Max campaigns.

Optimization of Google Ads Performance Max assets groups refers to the replacement of low-performing assets with identical best-performing assets. An asset group is a combo of the product group and ad group. Therefore, it should be optimized to enhance performance.

Always replace the low-performing assets instead of deleting them because it will affect the advertisement service of the campaign.

You can create multiple asset groups on the Google Ads Performance Max campaigns. However, every Performance Max campaign requires less set of assets at the start.

A minimum of one asset group is mandatory to include in a single Google Ads Performance Max campaign. Furthermore, you cannot share asset groups among other Google Ads Performance Max campaigns. However, a user can have a maximum of 100 asset groups in a single 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.

Initially, we can only form one asset group to proceed. However, we have the option to add multiple asset groups after publishing our campaign.
