Upgrade details

Upgrade timeline

You’ll be able to upgrade your Smart Shopping campaigns using our self-upgrade tool in Google Ads starting in April. You’ll be able to upgrade your Local campaigns starting in July or August. The tool gives you options to upgrade specific campaigns or all of your campaigns at once. You’ll be notified in Google Ads once the upgrade tool becomes available to you.

If you choose not to upgrade early, most Smart Shopping campaigns will be automatically upgraded between July and September, and your Local campaigns will be automatically upgraded between August and September. Once your campaigns are automatically upgraded, you’ll no longer be able to create new Smart Shopping or Local campaigns.

Your campaign settings, such as goals, budget, bid strategy, creative assets, and product targeting, will automatically transfer to Performance Max. You’ll also be able to add audience signals to speed up the machine-learning optimization process. 

After the upgrade, we recommend adding additional creative assets, such as text, images, and videos, to your Performance Max campaign to enable serving on additional inventory. 


What happens after the upgrade to Performance Max

After you upgrade to Performance Max, your Smart Shopping or Local campaigns will be automatically changed to “Removed” status. You won’t be able to edit or reactivate your Smart Shopping or Local campaigns, but you’ll still have access to the historical data for your Smart Shopping or Local campaigns in your Google Ads account.

Forex trading has the clear advantage of being a full-time job that can be done anywhere with an internet connection. As a Forex trader, you cannot have a boss, avoid the stressful commute to work, and not be tied down to a specific location. You can work from anywhere, so why not choose the best place? Usually, what’s best depends a lot on the person. But there are some common considerations you should probably make as an FX trader that we can follow to make a few suggestions. Depending on where you live, Forex trading can prove to be anything but successful. This is thanks to something called capital gains tax.
