Good morning, search marketers, are you ready for a new look?
The Google Ads treatment has come to Editor. Google Ads Editor version 1.0 rolled out Thursday. It sports a new look, with the biggest change being a revamped editing pane that displays on the right side of the interface. And new capabilities, most notably the ability to make changes across accounts — even across MCCs.
The old version of Google Search Console OTOH keeps losing features. Several more reports are no longer accessible in the soon-retiring version.
Turning now to Bing, Bing Ads Custom Audiences are now available in most markets. (Sorry, E.U., Norway and Switzerland where privacy trumps new first-party targeting capabilities.) On the privacy note, though, Bing Ads has taken a different approach to the way it handles advertisers' customer lists. Rather than uploading customer emails directly to the platform, advertisers will need to work with one of three DMP partners: Adobe Audience Manager, LiveRamp or Oracle BlueKai. Once integrated, your custom audience lists will automatically show up in Bing Ads.
Lots more below, including tips to getting client buy-in on responsive search ads.
