Google is revolutionizing digital marketing with new AI agents designed to automate and enhance campaign management across its platforms. These agentic tools represent a significant evolution beyond Google’s conversational AI features introduced two years ago, which have already been used by over half a million advertisers to create higher-quality Search campaigns. The new capabilities aim to address the growing complexity marketers face in analyzing data, creating content, and optimizing campaigns across multiple platforms and touchpoints.
The big picture: Google is introducing agentic capabilities to both Google Ads and Google Analytics that can perform complex marketing tasks under advertiser guidance.
- These AI agents will assist with everything from campaign creation and onboarding to reporting and troubleshooting.
- The tools analyze extensive datasets, landing pages, assets, and real-time performance metrics to help marketers achieve their business goals with less manual effort.
Key features: The agentic expert in Google Ads will offer personalized recommendations and implement them on behalf of advertisers.
- It can suggest keywords and creative elements for campaigns, and even develop multiple tailored ad groups with themed assets for related products or services.
- In Google Analytics, the data expert will proactively surface insights and trends while enabling easier data exploration through simple visualizations.
Marketing Advisor: Google is developing a browser-based AI agent that will help advertisers manage marketing tasks across different platforms and websites.
- This Chrome browser extension will connect to advertisers’ Google accounts and ad campaigns to understand individual goals and provide personalized guidance.
- Beyond answering specific questions, Marketing Advisor will proactively run assessments and identify strategies across entire businesses, including seasonal trend recommendations for specific product categories.
Why this matters: The new AI agents aim to simplify cross-platform marketing complexity that currently requires significant manual effort.
- Marketing Advisor is particularly valuable when working across Google properties, helping diagnose campaign problems or discover growth opportunities.
- It can streamline complex multi-site tasks like tagging, identifying when tags are missing, and offering to install them with advertiser permission.
Where we go from here: Google plans to begin rolling out Marketing Advisor later this year, adding to its growing suite of AI-powered advertising tools.
