They complement each other rather than compete.<\/p>\n<p>Demand Gen builds awareness and interest by engaging audiences higher in the funnel, often before they start actively searching for products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, PMax focuses on converting lower-funnel users who are ready to buy.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a fitness retailer might use Demand Gen to reach potential customers with lifestyle videos and discovery ads that showcase their latest activewear ranges.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once that user begins researching or showing purchase intent, PMax steps in with tailored Shopping and Search placements to drive the sale.<\/p>\n<p>You can also set up feed-only PMax campaigns, where you supply only a product feed within the asset group.<\/p>\n<p>This restricts PMax activity to Shopping placements, keeping it focused on direct conversion opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Demand Gen runs across YouTube, Gmail, Discover, and Shorts, covering the upper and mid-funnel with more visual, awareness-based creative.<\/p>\n<p>This setup helps minimise overlap between campaign types while ensuring you reach users throughout the funnel, from brand discovery to final purchase.<\/p>\n<p>For larger accounts with budget flexibility, this dual structure drives full-funnel performance and clearer attribution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For smaller accounts, where efficiency is key, it\u2019s usually best to master high-intent campaigns first and layer in Demand Gen once core conversions are stable.<\/p>\n<p>This mix of campaign types means advertisers now have more flexibility than ever, but it also requires understanding how Google is reshaping its video and discovery products.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Dig deeper: Why Demand Gen is the most underrated campaign type in Google Ads<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-google-reshaped-visual-campaigns\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Google_reshaped_visual_campaigns\"><\/span>How Google reshaped visual campaigns<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since July 2025, Video Action Campaigns (VACs) have been replaced by Demand Gen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The update brings Google\u2019s visual placements together in one campaign type, including YouTube in-stream, Shorts, in-feed, Gmail, and Discover.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a big shift. VAC performed well for ecommerce, particularly for conversion-focused video, so removing it clearly nudges advertisers toward Demand Gen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The upside is that Demand Gen offers stronger creative control and more testing options across YouTube placements.<\/p>\n<p>If you were running VAC, those campaigns now sit under Demand Gen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Check that your top-performing assets and audiences migrated correctly, then use the new controls to refine performance.<\/p>\n<p><!-- START INLINE FORM --><\/p>\n<p><!-- END INLINE FORM --><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-css-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">\n<h2 id=\"where-advertisers-gain-control-with-demand-gen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_advertisers_gain_control_with_Demand_Gen\"><\/span>Where advertisers gain control with Demand Gen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-audience-targeting\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audience_targeting\"><\/span>Audience targeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Audience control is one of the biggest advantages of Demand Gen and a key reason I use it for ecommerce.<\/p>\n<p>With Demand Gen, you can build and manage audiences directly, choosing exactly who sees your ads.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You can select placements, combine audience types, and decide where your budget goes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also the only Google Ads campaign type that supports lookalike audiences, helping you reach new customers similar to your best converters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For brands focused on acquisition quality, that is a major win.<\/p>\n<p>Performance Max uses audience signals rather than fixed targeting, which is fine for scale but limits precision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you value control, testing, and segmentation, Demand Gen is the clear winner for audience strategy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-channel-control\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Channel_control\"><\/span>Channel control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In June 2025, Google launched an open beta allowing advertisers to manually opt out of specific Demand Gen channels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This means you can choose where your ads <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp;
