Google Ads SDC (Smart Display Campaigns)

Google has just introduced the Google Ads SDC (Smart Display Campaigns) which drive performance on the GDN (Google Display Network) using the power of Google’s machine learning.

• Reach people at all stages of the buying cycle
• Minimize guesswork and spend less time on campaign management
