What is Google Discovery Ads?
Google Discover Ads is a simple method of getting your business products and services to appear in Google feeds to a specific audience who are most likely to buy them. Ads testing, targeting, and campaign optimization are part of Google Discovery Ads, which allows you to create the right target audience across Google-affiliated platforms such as Gmail, YouTube, and other websites.
The target schema you create will trigger Google Discovery Ads. Google collects information about users based on the websites they visit, the apps they download, the videos they watch, and the searches they perform. This is the aspect that Google uses to target the audience. Therefore, instead of responding to existing audience requests, Google Discovery Ads generates new audience requests.

This is an important factor because these three elements will form the foundation of your ad campaign.
