Everyone Should Know How AI Reshapes Google Ads

In today's digital advertising field, AI has evolved from an auxiliary tool to a core engine. According to the latest data from Google, 80% of advertisers have adopted at least one AI technology to optimize their advertising campaigns. When most people believed that the "e-commerce dividend" had disappeared, Taiwanese beauty brand Jealousy went against the trend and resolutely closed 1,400 physical channels across Taiwan and fully switched to the e-commerce market. Behind this bold decision is the strategic layout of in-depth cooperation with Google Ads. Through AI-driven automated bidding strategies and data-driven thinking, Jealousy not only achieved a 10-fold revenue growth within a year, but also successfully expanded its business to overseas markets. With the full application of the Gemini multimodal model in 2024, Google Ads is leading an all-round transformation from material generation, audience matching to effect prediction. This article will deeply analyze how AI reshapes the advertising industry chain and provide practical suggestions for companies to embrace this wave of technology.

I. Google Ads: The AI-driven digital advertising revolution

1. AI advertising transformation from the case of Jelloness

The transformation story of Jelonis is a classic case of the development of digital advertising in Taiwan. This traditional beauty brand, which originally relied on physical channels, resolutely closed all 1,400 sales outlets in Taiwan in 2015 and fully embraced digitalization. In the early stages of transformation, the biggest challenge facing brands was the lack of data thinking - there was a lack of systematic evaluation of advertising campaigns, and it was impossible to determine which strategies were effective, resulting in inefficient resource allocation. After cooperating with Google Ads, Jealousy first introduced a fully automated conversion value bidding strategy to replace the traditional manual single-click bidding, successfully stabilizing the ROAS (return on advertising investment) fluctuations and achieving an investment growth rate of more than 100%. The core behind this transformation is Google Ads AI learning capability. The system can automatically analyze data and dynamically adjust bidding strategies with the goal of maximizing revenue. The case of Jelonice proves that in an era when the e-commerce dividend is thought to have disappeared, brands can still create explosive growth through AI-driven digital advertising strategies.

2. Core technological breakthrough of Gemini model

In 2024, Google Ads will usher in a major technological innovation - an advertising solution integrating the Gemini model. As Google's latest generation of AI model, Gemini has multimodal understanding capabilities and can simultaneously process content in multiple formats such as text, images, and videos. This breakthrough enables advertising systems to more accurately understand the relationship between user intent and ad creatives. For example, when a hotel wants to run an advertisement but doesn't know where to start, it only needs to provide basic information such as website content, room photos, etc., and Gemini can automatically generate attractive copy, select appropriate pictures, and even create video materials. This end-to-end AI advertising creation process significantly lowers the threshold for advertisers to enter digital marketing. According to Google statistics, 80% of advertisers have adopted at least one AI-assisted search advertising product, showing the high market demand for intelligent advertising solutions.

3. How AI reshapes the advertising industry chain

AI technology is reshaping every aspect of the advertising industry. From user intent identification, advertising placement, bidding strategies to effectiveness analysis, the intervention of AI makes the entire process more intelligent. Take Jealous as an example. In addition to automated bidding strategies, Google Ads AI also recommends that brands adopt "live-like" short videos. This innovative suggestion based on data verification ultimately led to a 17% increase in single video performance. In terms of material creation, generative AI can automatically generate a variety of advertising copy and visual designs based on the brand tone; in terms of audience positioning, predictive AI can simulate the conversion probability of different groups of people; and in the performance optimization stage, AI can adjust the delivery strategy in real time to maximize ROAS. This full-chain AI empowerment enables digital advertising to evolve from the traditional "guess-test" model to a "prediction-optimization" data-driven model.

II. Key Challenges and AI Solutions for Brand Digital Transformation

1. The necessity of establishing data thinking

The biggest obstacle that Jelonis faced in the early stages of her digital transformation was the lack of data thinking. This is actually a common pain point for many traditional brands when they venture into digital marketing. In the past, Jealousy’s advertising strategy was centered around “brand image” and lacked specific data to evaluate which elements actually drove conversions. The introduction of Google Ads first changed this - through clear performance indicators such as click-through rate, conversion rate, ROAS, etc., brands began to establish a data-based decision-making culture. More importantly, this transformation is not limited to the advertising level. Jealousy has also readjusted its organizational structure, separating the creative department from the digital department to give full play to data analysis expertise. The establishment of this comprehensive data thinking is the key foundation for the brand to continuously optimize advertising effectiveness in the future. When a company can clearly know "what is done right and what is done wrong" in each advertising campaign, a virtuous growth flywheel can be formed.

2. ROAS improvement of automated bidding strategy

In the field of digital advertising, bidding strategies directly affect advertising costs and returns. Jealousy initially used manual cost-per-click bidding on Google Ads, which was not only labor-intensive but also caused ROAS to fluctuate greatly with budget changes. Once I switched to automated bidding in Google Ads, that changed completely. The AI system can analyze historical data, predict the conversion results that different bids may bring, and automatically adjust to achieve the best ROAS. This data-driven bidding method not only stabilizes results, but also brings an impressive investment growth rate of over 100% in the case of Jealous. The key to the success of automated bidding lies in the learning ability of the AI model - the system will continue to learn from each advertising interaction and continuously optimize its predictions of user value and conversion likelihood. For brands, this means they can focus limited resources on strategy development and creative thinking, while leaving complex data analysis and real-time decision-making to AI.

3. AI optimization path for creative materials

Advertising creativity has always been a key factor affecting advertising effectiveness, but it is also the most difficult link to optimize systematically. Jealousy has traditionally preferred exquisite brand image advertising, but data shows that such content is gradually losing its appeal in the highly competitive beauty market. Google Ads AI analysis suggests that brands try “live-like” short videos, where KOLs demonstrate product usage scenarios in real life, making it easier for consumers to imagine how the product would be integrated into their daily lives. This data-driven creative transformation not only improved the performance of individual films by 17%, but also prompted Jelloness to increase its film investment budget by 20%. Now, with the launch of the Gemini model, AI optimization of creative materials will be taken to a higher level - the system can automatically analyze the performance of existing materials, generate multiple variations for A/B testing, and even dynamically adjust advertising content based on different audience characteristics. This intelligent creative optimization path allows brands to maximize the relevance and appeal of their ads while maintaining consistency in their core messaging.

III. Analysis of the actual effectiveness of AI-driven advertising

1. Jelonis’ 10-fold revenue growth

Jealousy's transformation results are the best proof of the effectiveness of digital advertising. After the brand’s official website was launched in July 2015, the revenue ratio between physical and e-commerce quickly changed from dominant to 1:5, and the total turnover reached four times that of the previous year. By 2016, the first year of full digitization, total annual revenue reached 3.77 times that of 2015, a 10-fold increase compared to 2014 (mainly offline revenue). Google Ads AI-driven strategy plays a key role in this explosive growth: automated bidding ensures a return on advertising investment; data-driven creative strategies improve content effectiveness; and comprehensive performance tracking forms a positive cycle of continuous optimization. It is worth noting that this growth does not come at the expense of profits. On the contrary, through precise audience targeting and dynamic bidding, Jealousy is able to acquire valuable customers more efficiently and achieve simultaneous improvement in quality and quantity.

2. Rapid replication capability in cross-border markets

After achieving success in the Taiwan market, Jealous quickly replicated the same model in overseas markets, achieving a 10-fold growth in new customers. This is another advantage of AI-driven advertising: scalability. Because Google Ads AI models have learned user behavior patterns around the world, brands do not need to accumulate data from scratch when entering new markets. The system can provide initial strategies based on experience in similar markets, and then quickly optimize through localized adjustments. For Jealous, this means being able to adapt advertising frameworks that have proven successful in Taiwan (such as live video formats) to suit the cultural preferences and languages of different markets, significantly reducing the trial and error costs of international expansion. This "global strategy, local execution" AI advertising model is becoming a standard feature of brand cross-border e-commerce, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises to expand into international markets with limited resources.

3. Increased conversion rate of short video ads

In the case of Jelonice, short video ads performed particularly well. This video format, which Google calls "quasi-live," combines the realism of live streaming with the production quality of pre-recorded videos, and has already shown significant results in the Southeast Asian market. When Jealousy adopted this suggestion, not only did the performance of the single video improve by 17%, but it also drove the overall conversion rate to grow. The success of short videos reflects the content preferences of contemporary consumers - in an era of information explosion, content that is short, real, and can quickly convey product value is more likely to capture attention. The role of AI is not only to identify such trends, but also to analyze which specific elements (such as video length, rhythm, presentation method, etc.) are most effective for different audiences, thereby guiding the creative team to produce high-conversion content. , this type of AI-optimized short video advertising will become an indispensable part of digital marketing.
