Campaign-Level Negatives for Performance Max Now Available in Europe: Boost Your Google Ads Strategy
The world of digital advertising is constantly evolving, and staying ahead of the curve is essential for any marketer. One of the latest breakthroughs in Google Ads is the expansion of campaign-level negative keywords for Performance Max campaigns to European accounts. Previously limited to the United States, this feature is now available to advertisers in Europe, providing an unprecedented opportunity to fine-tune targeting strategies.
Why is this a significant development for European advertisers? With Performance Max campaigns, advertisers can access a wide array of Google’s inventory. However, the lack of control over which search terms and placements are targeted has often been cited as a drawback. Introducing campaign-level negatives offers much-needed precision, allowing advertisers to exclude irrelevant search terms and improve campaign performance.
How to Access and Use Campaign-Level Negatives in Europe
To utilize this feature, navigate to the "Audiences, keywords, and content" dropdown in your Google Ads account. Under the "Keywords" section, select your Performance Max (PMax) campaign to begin refining your targeting.
Important Considerations for Using Campaign-Level Negatives in Performance Max:
1. The campaign-level limit of 100 negative keywords has been lifted since the latest feature update, offering more flexibility.
2. These negatives apply specifically to the Search and Shopping inventories, ensuring your ads are shown only in the most relevant scenarios.
3. Currently, using negative keyword lists in Performance Max campaigns remains unavailable, meaning negatives need to be managed at the campaign level for now.
Harnessing the power of campaign-level negatives can significantly enhance your targeting precision. As a Google Ads manager, staying updated with these changes is crucial to optimizing your ads and expanding your reach effectively.

Highly recommend Matteo to set up your server side tracking. He has a deep understanding of e-commerce tracking and will go above and beyond to make sure everything is set up correctly and working 100%. If you are scaling your store this set up is non-negotiable in my opinion and there isn't many people who have this much knowledge or put the effort in to get it right. Thanks again!
