November 8, 2024

RELEASED: Meta Advantage+ Shopping campaigns

You asked, we delivered. Our latest Meta shopping campaign introduces powerful improvements over Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) while giving you back the control that standard Meta setups often limit. This release brings more transparency and customization, helping you avoid the “black box” challenge and allowing you to fully optimize for higher ROAS.

With Dotidot, you can connect your product catalog and enjoy unlimited editing options along with advanced product segmentation. This allows for easy campaign structuring based on bestsellers, high-performance items, high-profit-margin products, and more.

We’ve also enabled the integration of Meta Advantage+ campaigns with our Image Editor, allowing you to craft eye-catching, customized ads. All templates previously available for DPA can now be seamlessly applied to Advantage+ campaigns, providing greater consistency and creative options.

To save you time, we’ve developed a feature that allows you to import existing ads directly from Business Manager, making setup smoother and faster. Alongside this, Dotidot’s interface has been refined for a cleaner, more intuitive experience, ensuring a more streamlined workflow.

Additionally, real-time ad preview generation is now available. This feature allows you to see exactly how your ad will appear, which simplifies and enhances the creative process.

  • Improved UI for variable inputs
  • Optimized and accelerated feed export generation
Bug fixes

The Performance Max final update

In recent months, we’ve been developing and releasing smaller features to enhance the popular Performance Max campaigns in Dotidot. In our latest update, we’ve introduced many new features that complement the previous improvements.

We have implemented a Performance Max importer, allowing you to easily import your existing campaigns from Google Ads to Dotidot without losing any data or algorithm patterns.

We have also updated audience signals to include the latest options in Google Ads, such as Search Terms, and provided better descriptions within the app.

Performance Max Insights are now available. This feature integrates popular third-party reporting scripts, allowing you to export historical data from your active campaigns and connect it to pre-made templates. Gain deeper insights into brand and non-brand search term performance, detailed metrics, and keyword overlaps.

The campaign layout has been slightly modified to incorporate new features while still enhancing the user experience.

Performance Max upgrades - vol.1

We are now heavily focused on improving the Performance Max campaign features. Many upgrades have been completed, and significant improvements are on the way.

We have also enhanced the Insights dashboard and added more metrics. Stay tuned for big things to come!

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.

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.

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.

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