Ad Strength Principles
- Incomplete: This asset group lacks minimum assets to serve.
- Poor: This asset group only serves to some available inventories because it only has the minimum assets required to launch Performance Max (in other words, not enough breadth).
- Average: The asset group has all asset types to serve all available inventories, however it lacks variety for better performance (in other words, not enough depth).
- Good: This asset group has all asset types, good asset varieties, and good text diversification (in other words, good breadth and depth).
- Excellent: This asset group has all asset types including optional ones that won’t impact inventory but are good for performance (sitelinks, horizontal logo, square image), excellent text diversification, and excellent asset varieties (in other words, excellent breadth and depth).
