The asset report lists each asset used in a Performance Max campaign and allows you to compare performance across a variety of assets. Over time, you'll be able to make strategic decisions about your assets, such as which ones to rotate, remove, or improve. This report will help you focus on creating assets that are more likely to deliver better performance. It also gives you an indication of when to create new assets that are likely to drive better performance based on similar assets.

What you’ll find in your asset report
Filters and download
If you have a long list of assets, you can filter by asset type, policy approval status, and performance. You can also expand your report view or download the report.
Asset group policy issues
If your asset group is limited by policy violations, you can see those violations by hovering over the "Status" column to read more about the policy violation. To correct the policy issue, go to the asset groups page and use the “Edit Assets” link.
Assets
In the assets column, you’ll find:
- The content of each asset, such as text or an image thumbnail
- Asset dimensions for images, if applicable
Asset type
The asset type column defines how each asset is used. Here are the assets you can find:
- Headline
- Long headline
- Description
- Image
- YouTube video
Performance
The performance column ranks assets against other assets of the same type. It will show you which assets of the same type are:
- Low, as in low performing against all other assets of the same type across properties.
- Good, as in it performs well enough against all other assets of the same type.
- Best, as in one of the highest performers of all assets of the same type on one or more properties.
Until enough data is available to assign a performance label, you'll see an asset carry a default “Pending” status.
Replace low performing assets
To improve your campaign’s performance, you can replace low performing assets with similar high performing assets. It isn’t recommended to delete low performing assets without replacing them, as this may limit ads served by your campaign.
