Ai Max test result! Brand inclusion vs url inclusion vs page feed for ecomm

Test results for Ai Max brand inclusion VS url inclusion VS page feed for an ecommerce store selling various branded products brand inclusions FRIGGEN WORKS, but if the brand is really small, you may struggle to get the brand inclusion, which my results show the dsa portion of the ad group goes CRAZY, matching search terms and urls to any and every brand on the store within the controlled brand-specific ad group. I saw ZERO gain of brand focused search terms or URL deliveries after adding url inclusions or the page feed which was a bummer. For the ad groups that got great brand/url delivery, i hoped that the page feed would deliver more product specific urls to product specific searches, but again ZERO change. the product specific searches often still delivered to collection page URLS, not all of them, but most of them. In the end im quite pelased with ai max for this context, but it seems like url inclusion and page feeds did absolutely nothing. If you need help understanding page feeds, watch the video from Marketing O'Clock [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#] Greg Finn [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#], they did an awesome job that i used step by step to get the page feeds and custom labels set. link to that vid is in the comments.

episode A new era of Ecomm management artwork

A new era of Ecomm management

We are at a paradime shift in ecom account managment and data feed optimization.   with Google Ads [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#] taking controls away, but adding conversational attributes in merchant center, its clear that high level account management is about the data we give google and no longer about the buttons we press in the UI.  But, this goes deeper than just that stupid surface level message everyone spits on "its all about the data you give google" lets dive into what that data is and how we optimize for it. because the WAY we manage the data has completely shifted and the platforms we use like DataFeedWatch by [https://www.linkedin.com/feed/#]Cart.com [http://Cart.com] need to catch up as they are built on an older system of rule based feed managment.
