- Easier to manage: Manage it just like a regular search campaign. Your settings like keywords and bids will automatically be used to find customers on the Display Network, which means there's no extra work required!
- Ability to customize based on how you wish your campaigns to perform: When you upgrade, you may get fewer clicks and impressions, but they’re more likely to be from people who are ready to make a purchase from your business. If keeping your current click levels is important for your advertising goals, also create a new “Display Network only” campaign. This allows you to incorporate the settings and targeting options from your original campaign to help you maintain your click levels.
