Google Marketing Live is where Google typically announces its biggest changes to Google Ads \u2014 including new AI features, campaign types and measurement tools that can directly impact how campaigns are built and optimized. <\/p> <p>Many of Google\u2019s most significant advertising updates each year are first revealed at this event, meaning it often shows where the platform \u2014 and advertisers\u2019 strategies \u2014 are heading next.<\/p> <p><strong>The bigger picture<\/strong>. The event will land during the same window as Google I\/O 2026, scheduled for May 19\u201320. While I\/O focuses on Google\u2019s broader ecosystem \u2014 including AI, Search and developer technologies \u2014 announcements there often influence the direction of advertising products.<\/p> <p><strong>What to watch<\/strong>. Expect updates tied to AI-driven advertising, automation and new ways to measure performance across Google\u2019s platforms. For marketers, the event often sets the tone for where Google\u2019s ad strategy is heading for the rest of the year.<\/p> <p><strong>First spotted.<\/strong> Kobzov\u00e1 shared the update on PPC News Feed <\/p> <p><strong>Dig deeper.<\/strong> Google Marketing Live 2025. <\/p> <\/div> <hr\/> <p class=\"article-disclosure\"> <em>Search Engine Land is owned by Semrush.
