Google’s AI Max Search Terms Are Buried.
I’ll Show You Where to Dig.

AI Max for Search is now available to some advertisers and will be rolling out to all advertisers this summer. This will get your ads in AI Overviews and in AI Mode.

It is a simple Toggle switch and AI Max is turned on for your existing campaigns.

But once it is live, finding which search terms have generated your ads in AI Overviews is hidden.

Here is how to find them.

- Campaign level (left nav)
- Search Terms (left nav)
- Change 'Search Terms' to 'Search Terms and Landing Pages from AI Max' (dropdown above columns)
