From Target Search Page Location and Outranking Share to Target Impression Share

May 28, 2019

Automated bidding helps marketers scale as consumer journeys become more complex. In fact, more than 70% of all advertisers use Google Ads automated bidding today. To meet your growing needs, we introduced Target Impression Share in November 2018 to help you ensure your brand is showing up when customers are conducting important searches.

Target Impression Share offers more flexible and granular controls to optimize for your desired impression share and search page location. And you can use “Absolute top impression share” or “Top impression share” to aim for the top of the page using Target Impression Share.

Starting in late June, advertisers will no longer be able to add new Target Search Page Location or Target Outranking Share bid strategies. Later this year, existing campaigns still using these strategies will automatically be migrated to the Target Impression Share strategy based on previous target locations and historical impression share.
