    10 biggest takeaways from Google Marketing Live 2025<\/h2>\n

    GML 2025 was a fast-paced presentation of the newest features in Google Ads<\/a>. Here are the biggest announcements from the event.<\/p>\n

    1. Expanded ads in AIOs and AI Mode<\/h3>\n

    Several announcements highlighted Google\u2019s push for AI-powered discovery. As the GML speakers put it, the goal is to turn non-commercial intent into \u201cads that don\u2019t interrupt but help your customers discover you.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Along that theme, users will soon begin to see expanded ads in their AI Overviews<\/a> that align with the educational nature of the result. This is something we\u2019ve anticipated since the announcement of AI Overviews.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s how it\u2019ll work. Say someone searches for \u201chow to bring small dogs on flights,\u201d they\u2019ll see an AIO with helpful tips and an ad for dog carriers.<\/p>\n

    Likewise, users of Google Search\u2019s newly released AI Mode<\/a> will see ads that pull a commercial intent from an educational query and serve an ad to match it.<\/p>\n

    These new ad placements may be a big boon for advertisers hoping to engage customers as they use more complex search methods. But some PPC pros noted a glaring gap in the announcement: How will these new ads be tracked?<\/p>\n

    2. Power Pair becomes Power Pack<\/h3>\n

    Google announced the Power Pair<\/a>\u2014the combo of AI-powered search campaigns and Performance Max\u2014at GML 2024. This year, Google introduced its replacement, the Power Pack, which includes the trio of an upgraded Performance Max<\/a>, AI Max for Search campaigns, and Demand Gen.<\/p>\n
