Enhanced campaigns: What happens on July 22, 2013

Enhanced campaigns: What happens on July 22, 2013:

This week, we published some of the reasons advertisers have already upgraded more than 3 million legacy campaigns to enhanced campaigns. If you have already upgraded all of your campaigns, then you are all set!  If you still have some legacy campaigns in your account, this post will cover what will happen to campaigns that are auto upgraded starting on July 22, 2013.



Default upgrade path

We strongly encourage everyone to upgrade before July 22, 2013 so your campaigns are set up as you'd like. If you don't, then the AdWords system will upgrade them using the following default settings.



Campaigns will be configured, like all new AdWords campaigns, to reach customers across all devices. Upgraded campaigns require a mobile bid adjustment setting, which influences your bids, ad position, and click volume on mobile devices. The table below shows how the mobile bid adjustment will be set depending on the devices targeted by a legacy campaign. Of course, you're free to change your default mobile bid adjustment and all other campaign settings after a campaign is automatically upgraded.

Legacy campaign device targeting	Default mobile bid adjustment
Any campaign that targets computers	Set based on bids from similar advertisers
Campaigns targeting tablets only	Set based on bids from similar advertisers
Campaigns targeting mobile devices only	+0% (same bids across all devices)
Campaigns targeting tablets and mobile devices only	+0% (same bids across all devices)

Special cases

What we've described above covers the vast majority of legacy campaigns. But there are some special cases with different default upgrade settings, like a legacy campaign that runs ads on the Google Display Network and uses device-specific targeting. Details on these special cases are in the AdWords Help Center.

And when getting the term out to that consumer base, a lot of business owners could switch to the media to help generate a excitement for them.
