Summary
Google has introduced AI Max for Shopping, a new feature for existing Shopping campaigns that leverages the Merchant Center feed to generate ad copy tailored to shopper intent.
The update adds three core capabilities: Text customization auto‑generates ad copy, Final URL Expansion (FUE) matches the most relevant landing pages to shopper intent, and Optimal Format Selection chooses between text or Shopping ad formats per shopper need. Existing product targeting controls, bidding flexibility and campaign structure remain unchanged, and FUE can be disabled to restrict delivery to Shopping ads only. The feature can be enabled with a single click for current Shopping campaigns, and Performance Max already uses FUE and format selection, with text customization arriving as a new addition. Attendees are encouraged to register for Google Marketing Live to see the new capabilities in action.
