Ads in Gmail
In December 2020, Google announced that Google would convert stand-alone Gmail campaigns to “read-only”. Since July 1, 2021, advertisers cannot create Gmail-only campaigns.
Advertisers who want to run ads on Gmail will have to switch to Discovery campaigns. Discovery campaigns are the only way to run Gmail campaigns since July 1, 2021.
This change is good for advertisers trying to expand their reach and test new placements that Discovery campaigns open.
With Google Gmail Ads, you used to be able to reach people based on:
- Detailed demographics. Like gender, age, household income, and parental status.
- Users’ affinity interests and in-market segments – so you target those who are interested in your products or services.
- Geo-targeting – your ads will only show up where they’re most effective at driving sales and conversions.
