Your Lookalike audiences are becoming suggestions, not rules

Your Lookalike audiences are becoming suggestions, not rules. Google's changing how Demand Gen treats Lookalike segments. Instead of restricting ad delivery to your selected audience, the default is now suggestion mode.

Your audience becomes a signal, and Google's AI can explore beyond it. Think of it like this: you used to draw a fence. Now you're planting a flag and letting Google roam.

The pitch is that broader targeting helps the algorithm find conversions you'd miss with tight constraints. The risk is spending budget on users who look nothing like your actual customers. You can opt out and restore the fence if you want.

But if you let it run, watch these:

• Cost per conversion

• Conversion rate

• Quality of leads or sales

Broader doesn't automatically mean better. Test it, measure it, and be ready to pull back if the numbers slide.
