Frequently Asked Questions on running a DISCOVER ONLY Campaign in Google Ads

What is a Discover-only campaign in Google Ads?

A Discover campaign allows your ads to appear across Google Discover, YouTube Home, and Gmail Promotions tabs. A “Discover-only” setup focuses solely on Google Discover placements, giving you more control over ad delivery while targeting users browsing personalized Google content feeds.

How do I create a Discover-only campaign in Google Ads?

Log in to your Google Ads dashboard → + New Campaign.

Choose a goal such as Sales, Leads, or Website Traffic.

Select Discover as the campaign type.

Under Networks, deselect YouTube and Gmail to keep it Discover-only.

Add your creatives — headlines, descriptions, images, and logos.

Set your budget, targeting, and bidding strategy.

Click Publish.
Your ads will now appear only within the Google Discover feed on mobile devices.

Can I use videos or carousels in a Discover campaign?

Yes. Discover campaigns support single-image ads and carousel formats. While videos aren’t directly used in Discover-only placements, you can use rich imagery and lifestyle visuals to drive engagement.

What are best practices for Discover-only campaigns?

Use high-resolution, mobile-optimized images (1200x628 or larger).

Focus on attention-grabbing headlines and short, emotional copy.

Exclude YouTube and Gmail networks if you want pure Discover traffic.

Target audiences based on custom segments and first-party data for higher relevance.
