Google has implemented a new feature in its Google Ads Performance Max platform, introducing the designation "private search term" in the search category.
Google defines private search terms as queries that have received less than 50 unique user searches within a 90-day period. This new labeling system provides advertisers with more clarity about low-volume search queries while maintaining user privacy.
The introduction of private search term labeling marks a significant update to how Google displays low-volume search data in Performance Max campaigns. This change helps advertisers better understand the nature of queries that trigger their ads while protecting user privacy for less common searches.
This update reflects Google's ongoing efforts to balance advertising transparency with user privacy considerations in their Performance Max advertising platform.
