In a significant move to enhance transparency and control, Google has updated its Performance Max campaigns to reveal which search terms are triggering ads. This change allows advertisers to add negative keywords directly from the Search Terms report, addressing previous concerns about the lack of visibility in automated campaign types.

What This Means for Auto Dealers
For auto dealers, this update is a game-changer. The ability to see which search queries are activating ads means dealers can now fine-tune their campaigns more effectively. By identifying and excluding irrelevant search terms, they can ensure their ads reach the most pertinent audience, optimizing ad spend and improving return on investment.
