What Is Search Partners?

Definition

Search Partners are non-Google websites and properties where eligible Google Search campaign ads can appear.

How Search Partners Works

When the setting is enabled, Google may serve Search ads on partner search results and related properties. Reporting can separate the Google search network from search partners at a broad level.

A Simple Example

A campaign may receive clicks from Google Search and from partner inventory even though both are managed inside the same Search campaign.

Why Search Partners Matters

Partner inventory can add reach and conversions beyond Google.com.

Common Misreading

Performance can differ materially from Google Search. Evaluate conversion quality and economics rather than assuming all Search Network traffic behaves the same.
