Search campaigns for travel unify travel ad formats with AI Max

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Search campaigns for travel bring travel ad formats: Travel Promotion Ads, Booking Links, travel feeds: directly into the Search ecosystem with AI Max. The change consolidates what previously required multiple campaign types into a single buying door for all travel formats, with full access to AI Max's targeting and creative automation and a unified performance view across the SERP.

What changed

The format will expand into new verticals such as Events and Car Rentals.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means travel advertisers can collapse what has been a multi-campaign reporting and optimisation workflow into a single AI Max Search campaign. Particularly relevant for hotel groups, OTAs, and tour operators, where the previous fragmented setup has been an operational drag. Availability: Beta, Global, All languages.
