Ad group

An ad group is a level within applicable Google Ads campaigns connecting ads with related settings or keywords.

How it works

Group by shared intent so ad text and landing pages match the query.

Example

Example: A shoe-repair group contains ads and a page for that service.

Common mistakes

A Performance Max asset group is a different structure.

How can you check this in practice?

Group keywords and ads around one distinct task. Align the advertising promise with the landing page. When one group mixes unrelated products, a generic ad may not answer the specific search.

Distinctions and limitations

An ad group is not a separate campaign and generally has no independent daily budget. A PMax asset group has different inputs and roles. Similar names do not imply identical settings.
