## What each campaign type is built from

Shopping

### Your product feed

Shopping runs on your product feed, so the feed is checked first. A product Google has rejected cannot show.

[The product feed check →](/crank-os/tracking/product-feed)

Performance Max

### Your approved ads

Asset groups are filled from the images, videos and copy you have signed off in Review, sized the way Google asks for them.

[Image ads →](/crank-os/ad-production/static-ads)

Brand search

### Ad copy

Written to Google’s limits for search ads, so people who already know your name find you first.

Generic search

### Ad copy

The same limits, for people searching for what you sell. Search can be built for leads as well as for sales.

## The limits the copy and images are written to

So everything fits before it is built, not after Google has refused it.

## How a build works

1

Approved in Review

Only ads you have signed off are used.

2

Built, paused

In your Google Ads account, to the name pattern below.

3

Checked

Feed, copy and images checked before the build is handed over.

4

Your team switches it on

Audiences, bids and budget are copied from a campaign you already run. They check them and run it.

## One name pattern, everywhere

On Google the third part of the name is the campaign type, written the same way every time.

BRANDWhose ads\-GOOGLEPlatform\-CAMPAIGN TYPEShopping, search, Performance Max\-OBJECTIVEThe goal\-AUDIENCEWho it is for\-DATEWhen it was built

Product or theme detail follows the date. Campaign types are always written the same way, so brand search and generic search are never mixed up in reports. The pattern is Crank’s own convention, used on every account we build.

Before any build

### The feed and the tracking come first

Shopping and Performance Max depend on your product feed, and every campaign depends on a sale or a lead being recorded. Before a build starts we check that the feed is healthy, that sales or leads are recorded and that the main goal is a real business result. If something is broken we tell you and fix it in [the tracking layer](/crank-os/tracking) first.

## Built from your feed and from ads that have been scored

Nothing goes into your account that you have not seen. Audiences, bids and budget are copied from a campaign you already run, and your team checks them, switches the campaign on and runs it.

Included in Content

From £6,250 a month

With the monthly production bundle. Audiences, bids and budget are copied from a campaign you already run.

## Questions about Google builds

### Who switches the campaign on?

Your media team. Everything arrives paused, ready for them to switch on.

### Do you set our audiences, bids and budget?

Not unless you ask. A new campaign reuses what is already set in one of your campaigns, and your team checks it before switching it on.

### Do you build Performance Max campaigns?

Yes, built paused like the rest, from the images, videos and copy you have approved.

### Do we need a product feed?

For Shopping and Performance Max, yes, and we check it before the build. A weekly [product feed check](/crank-os/tracking/product-feed) is part of Crank OS for Shopify shops.

### Can you build search campaigns for lead generation?

Yes. Search can be built for leads as well as sales.

### What happens to the campaign if we leave?

It is in your Google Ads account, so the history and the structure stay with you.

### Do you build for Meta too?

Yes. See [Meta campaign builds](/crank-os/campaign-builds/meta-ads).
