Microsoft Advertising To Move Smart Shopping Campaigns To Performance Max In Coming Months

Microsoft, in its monthly update, announced that it will be moving (or “upgrading” as they call it) smart shopping campaigns to Performance Max within the next couple of months. Microsoft said they sent out notices to advertisers via emails earlier.

Microsoft Advertising also announced several other announcements, which I will cover below in summary.

Microsoft said, “All advertisers with smart shopping campaigns have now received email communications about the upcoming upgrade of smart shopping campaigns to Performance Max, which should happen in the coming months.”

This update will roll out over the next coming months but if you want to upgrade now, you can by selecting “Edit Upgrade to Performance Max.”

Microsoft added that the setup, reporting, and performance history will remain unchanged after this transition. It is important to note that there will be a 1-2 week campaign learning period after the upgrade.
