Ensure Consistent Branding with Google Ads: Update Your Guidelines Before March 2025

In the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing, maintaining a consistent brand image across all platforms is crucial. Google Ads has recently highlighted this importance and has set a deadline — March 2025 — for advertisers to update their brand guidelines. As a Google Ads manager, it’s vital to stay ahead of these changes to ensure your brand is accurately represented in all advertising efforts, especially in Performance Max campaigns.

Why Update Your Brand Guidelines in Google Ads by March 2025?

Google Ads encourages all advertisers to review and update their brand guidelines to ensure that the appearance of their brand is controlled and consistent with their overall marketing strategy. If updates are not made by March 2025, Google will automatically use the business name and logos from the top-performing asset group. This automatic selection could potentially alter your intended brand image, which is why taking action is essential.

How to Update Your Brand Guidelines

To continue using your preferred business name and logos in your campaigns, you should add the following assets to your brand guidelines:

1. Brand Font: Ensure that your brand’s personality shines through with the correct typography.
2. Brand Color: Consistency in color usage helps in creating a distinct and recognizable brand identity.
3. Business Name: Make sure your business name is correctly and distinctly presented across all ads.
4. Logo Assets: Upload 1-5 images of your logo to make sure your brand is instantly recognizable to your audience.

These updates can be made while creating a new campaign or by editing an existing one.

The Importance of Consistent Branding

In today’s digital age, consistent branding is more than just a buzzword. It plays a pivotal role in building brand recognition and loyalty. By updating your brand guidelines, you protect the integrity of your brand and ensure its accurate portrayal in all your advertising efforts. This initiative by Google Ads underscores the need for cohesion in how brands present themselves across various digital platforms.

Final Thoughts

Keeping your brand guidelines up-to-date not only aligns with Google Ads’ new regulations but also strengthens your brand’s position in the market. It’s an opportunity to reassess your brand’s visual and messaging strategies, ensuring they’re as effective and impactful as possible.

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!
