If you are creating your Performance Max campaigns using the Shopping Campaign Management tool, you can configure and add assets directly from the interface in a few clicks.

Creating assets can be a time-consuming task, especially when dealing with multiple asset groups and campaigns. This feature streamlines the process by allowing you to create an asset template. This template will then be used to generate assets for all the asset groups within your PMax campaign.

If you previously defined your campaign structure to create multiple campaigns as a part of the same campaign group, the assets configured here will be applied to all those campaigns as well.

Furthermore, Asset Group level attributes can be inserted into Headlines and Descriptions helping generate unique text assets for each asset group.

While creating your campaign using the Shopping Campaign Management tool, select the 'PMax retail campaign with assets' option in the 'Assets' section after you have defined the structure of your campaign(s). Click on the 'Add Assets' button to open the configuration window.

The configuration window gives you the ability to set up all the aspects of your assets just like you would be able to do using the Google Ads Platform.

Specify the URL where you want your customers to land when they click on your ad. It's crucial to ensure that the domain of the Final URL matches the one mentioned in the merchant center account otherwise, your ad will be disapproved by Google.

Enter the name of your business or brand. In certain layouts, it may appear in the text of your ad.

You can choose a Call to Action that aligns with your goals, or you can opt for the 'Automated' option, which allows Google to automatically select the most relevant call to action for you.

Add your desired headlines (minimum 3) and long headlines using the side tray.
