New step-by-step campaign creation process and menu

Earlier this month, we released an improved campaign creation process for Performance Max. As of now, it has been launched for all campaign types (Search, DSA, Display, Shopping, and Meta). Enjoy smoother navigation and several other interface improvements.

Updated catalog mapping for Feed Exports

All fields have been updated to align with the current status and have been categorized into required and optional fields. Setting up your export is now clear and efficient. Additionally, a quality check has been added: the more fields you complete, the higher the percentage displayed.

Improvements and features

Bug fixes

November 1, 2023

Performance Max UI improvements

Dotidot now presents enhanced improvements to the Performance Max campaign creation. Our new step-by-step process is designed to streamline campaign setup, making it easier for you to discover the full potential of automated strategies, even for this specific campaign type. Furthermore, each step of the campaign creation process has received some care, for example: - We’ve simplified Google Merchant Center mapping, categorizing fields into required and optional sections. - Informed decision-making is now at your fingertips with added recommendations for data source selection, providing insights into the advantages and disadvantages of each data source. - Performance Max was moved to the forefront as the recommended campaign type when creating a new campaign.

Image Editor learned new tricks

With the new image cropping modes, you can rely on Dotidot even more when trying to change your image background. First mode does not work? Try the other one! Also, users are now able to copy-paste layers. Not to mention that the keyboard shortcuts are now working, not just CTRL+C and CTRL+V, but even a step back (CTRL+Z), arrows, etc. Try it out.

Improvements and features
  • A new Feed Export feature has been added for Ceneo.pl, a well-known Polish online shopping and price comparison website.

Remove any elements or category directly from the category path and use the new variable for feed grouping.

December 1, 2022

Text Ad Customizers

You can now also work with Ad Customizers in the application. These allow you to add dynamic content and thus personalize text ads in search results. Why? Because personalized ads attract far more attention than general ads. A pleasant advantage of using text Ad Customizers is also that the entire advertisement will not be generated again, only its dynamic part.

Improvements in the Feed Exports interface

Several changes have been made. The first thing you will definitely notice is the division of the entire menu into three sections, which will help you manage your work there. The last section is activity log, where you can find the entire history of activities, downloads and synchronization.

Improvements and features
  • You can now manually generate a new feed

If you make a modification to your export settings (rules or changing custom variables), you can now manually force a feed to be generated. No need to wait for the next automatic update.

  • New options in the Image Editor

Even better pictures with new features! Vertical text aling, underlines, line editing, line wrapping, text shortening… Now you can do it all!

  • Synchronization rules if the campaign does not contain any products

Sometimes a bugged source or any wrong settings can lead to no products being present in the campaign. Now you can set how the campaign should behave in such a case. Wanna synchronize it anyway? Sure. Wanna use the last existing settings that contained products? Of course.

Bug fixes
  • Display campaigns linked to an archived data source

Campaigns that were linked to archived data sources could occasionally be hidden. This is now fixed, ads are shown and an error message appears that you need to upload a new data file or restore an existing one.

November 10, 2022

Automatic account clean-up

Now you can set your ad groups to be deleted from your ad system after a certain amount of time. This allows you to decide when your ad sets should be removed - after 7, 14, 30, or 90 days. Or you can rule out deletion entirely by choosing “Never”. This change brings several improvements such as removing old errors, speed up your app or prevents your from reaching the ad group limit in Google.

Improvements and features
  • New feed exports for Aukro and Spartoo

We now support the Czech online shopping platform Aukro where you can auction off your products. Settings include everything you’ve become used to with Aukro. Additionally, e-shops expanding abroad will no doubt appreciate our support for Spartoo, a huge marketplace specializing in fashion and accessories.

  • Promo templates for Image Editor

We have added Black Friday and Cyber Monday templates to Image Editor.

Bug fixes
August 19, 2022
Improvements and features
  • Design of the edit buttons for images

Previously, the action buttons above the image were not easily visible against the background of the image. We have therefore modified their design and added a background so that you can no longer miss them :)

  • Warning when missing ad for Search campaign with DSA

When you create a search campaign with DSA, it may happen that you choose a campaign structure but don’t create adequate ad text for it. For example, if you select DSA for each item, set up DSA ad text for it, but no longer set up ad for standard ads, the application will notify you that you are missing the ad text.

  • New variations of Feed exports

We have prepared more new variants of Feed exports, now available for Mall, Mall Availability and Spartoo.

Smart Shopping Campaigns switches to Performance MAX

On 30.9.2022, Google will discontinue support for Smart Shopping campaigns. New Smart shopping campaigns will no longer be able to be created and existing ones will be converted to Performance MAX campaigns. You can do the conversion manually directly in the system or wait until 9/30/2022 for the system to convert them itself, but we definitely recommend adding Assets to your new MAXs for better campaign performance. In PPC Bee we are ready for this change and the system will automatically detect the change of ads in the ad system and transfer them to PPC Bee. So you don’t have to worry about losing data or having to do anything complicated, we’ve got your back :)

Smart Display Campaigns switches to Display Campaigns

Another such change is regarding Smart Display campaigns, these are officially ending on 1.8.2022 and will be replaced by Display campaigns. But it’s not a major change, the campaign will be automatically converted again in PPC Bee and you don’t have to worry about anything. In addition, you will now be able to target location and language.

Migration from ETA to RSA ads on the web

We wanted to offer an easy solution to the wider community on how to migrate ETA - RSA ads. The web interface, besides being available free to all users, can also easily convert ads with countdown feature. Other features are already identical to the in-app migration Wizard. In contrast, the user does not need to link his ad account, but uploads and downloads the ads as a CSV file for conversion.

Improvements and features
  • Improved onboarding wizard

For newly registered users, we’ve prepared a more intuitive wizard to help them get started with the app.

  • Microsoft Ads Performance Statistics

Performance statistics for campaigns advertised on the Microsoft Ads network are now also available in the app. Simply use the custom columns to adjust their settings for campaigns so that the stats appear in the field.

  • New feed export for Kaufland.de
Bug fixes
  • Remapping variable

When using the Remapping variable, it happened that the function got stuck and didn’t work properly for larger files. Now everything works like clockwork.

  • Ungenerated KWs in preview

In addition to generated keywords, you can now also see KWs in the KWs generator preview that are not generated, e.g. because they do not meet the length or word count conditions.

May 12, 2022
Improvements and features
  • In order to improve clarity, we have modify the Cookie bar, which especially on mobile devices did not work as we would have liked. So we redesigned it for all platforms to make it as convenient as possible to interact with.

  • You can now change the data source for an already created export if needed. This action will result in a loss of filled data, but we will notify you in due course.

  • For Facebook campaigns, there is now an option to select the so-called “quick sync” in the menu below the update. This is faster than the classic synchronization because it does not synchronize the data source, but only the structure of your campaign in the system. So if you only want to tweak a few things in your ads, this is the option for you :)
