This major update was designed to simplify campaign management across multiple devices and increase adoption rates of mobile advertising among small and medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Among the notable changes: <\/p>\n<p>Tablets and desktops would be grouped together, rather than treated as separate devices.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisers would set a baseline bid that applied to both desktop and tablet, and then set the mobile bid as a multiplier of the desktop\/tablet bid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Targeting at the operating system level would no longer be available.<\/p>\n<p>Google planned to upgrade all campaigns in June 2013 (though the full rollout would actually begin <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/its-official-google-enhanced-campaigns-are-here-what-you-need-to-know-now-167411\"
