Demand Gen Supports Google Maps-Only Targeting in Beta

Lexi Hobbs shared that Google Ads has introduced a new beta for Demand Gen campaigns: channel control for Maps only.

Until now, Performance Max was the only way to advertise on Google Maps, without any way to focus spending just on Maps. This beta changes that by allowing advertisers to run Demand Gen campaigns exclusively on Maps.

Side-by-side screenshots of a mobile map app: the left shows a search bar and map view, while the right highlights Google Maps targeting with a search for "cBalm," showing location details, hours, and options for directions and sharing.

Currently, it’s limited to promoted pins only, but this could expand to Map Pack placements in the future.
