What Is Asset Group?

Definition

An asset group is a collection of creative assets and audience or product inputs used together within a Performance Max campaign.

How Asset Group Works

An asset group can contain headlines, descriptions, images, logos, videos and, when applicable, a selected group of products from a Merchant Center feed.

A Simple Example

A blinds retailer might create separate asset groups for cellular shades and wood blinds so each product set has more relevant creative and landing pages.

Why Asset Group Matters

Asset groups organize the inputs Google uses to assemble ads across inventory and can improve message-to-product alignment.

Common Misreading

Asset groups are not equivalent to tightly controlled Search ad groups. Google can combine and distribute assets across channels with less placement-level control.
