Ad groups within campaigns play a crucial role in optimizing your advertising effectively. They contain one or more ads that target specific audiences (Google, Meta). Monitoring ad group performance allows you to make decisions on budget allocation and conduct A/B testing for different ad formats, placements, or bidding options. You can group ads by common themes, such as the products or services you want to promote.
Note: Ad groups are the same as Meta's ad sets.
