Better yet, what if you could target highly responsive users when they’re most likely to engage with your brand? Over the years, Google has listened to their advertiser’s feedback and developed advanced audience and customer intent signals that can be used to deliver highly visual, inspiring ads to users ready to discover and engage with brands. By now, you may already be familiar with the Google Discover app on your phone, but have you ever considered what it means to advertisers?

What is Google Discover?
Previously known as Google Feed, Google Discover is a personalized content feed that serves content directly to users based on their interests and preferences. Contrary to Google Search, which requires user input, Google Discover harnesses advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to provide users with interesting and relevant content. It’s currently available to mobile Google users logged in via the Google App on Android and Google.com on mobile browsers and delivers tailored content based on users’ search and browsing histories, app behaviors, and location.
