The feature was teased at Google Marketing Live last year and follows recent tests that allow A\/B experiments in some Performance Max campaigns \u2014 signaling a broader push toward experimentation across automated formats.<\/p> <p><strong>Big picture<\/strong>. As Google Ads leans further into automation, controlled testing tools like this help advertisers regain insight into what actually drives performance, especially in Shopping and feed-based campaigns.<\/p> <p><strong>Credit.<\/strong> Founder of Take Some Risks Duane Brown shared a screenshot he saw in a Slack group he is a member of on LinkedIn. <\/p> <p><strong>What to watch<\/strong>. If rolled out widely, product data experiments could become a core optimization lever for Shopping Ads \u2014 and a long-requested upgrade for advertisers focused on feed performance.<\/p> <\/div> <hr\/> <p class=\"article-disclosure\"> <em>Search Engine Land is owned by Semrush.
