Google is broadly rolling out brand exclusions in Performance Max and broad match brand restrictions in Search to all advertisers.
Following successful pilots for both, the search engine announced that the move would help marketers with guiding Google AI and where their campaigns appear online.
Up until now, both features were only available in beta.
Brand restrictions with broad match will help marketers increase the reach of their campaigns, while brand restrictions give marketers control over their Performance Max campaigns. By using these settings, advertisers can increase the reach of their campaigns and take steps to stop their ads from serving branded queries they may wish to avoid on Search.
