Skill 035: Image Asset Optimization

Purpose

Image assets increase ad visibility and engagement, particularly on mobile. Campaigns without images or with low-quality images miss opportunities for higher CTR. This audit ensures image assets are properly configured for Search extensions, Performance Max, and Demand Gen campaigns.

Data Requirements

Data Source: Custom GAQL Required

Standard export does not include image asset details.

GAQL Query (customer-level images):

SELECT
  asset.id,
  asset.name,
  asset.type,
  asset.image_asset.file_size,
  asset.image_asset.full_size.height_pixels,
  asset.image_asset.full_size.width_pixels,
  asset.image_asset.mime_type,
  customer_asset.status
FROM customer_asset
WHERE asset.type = 'IMAGE'

GAQL Query (campaign-level):

SELECT
  campaign.name,
  asset.type,
  asset.image_asset.full_size.height_pixels,
  asset.image_asset.full_size.width_pixels,
  campaign_asset.status,
  metrics.impressions,
  metrics.clicks
FROM campaign_asset
WHERE asset.type = 'IMAGE'
  AND segments.date DURING LAST_30_DAYS

Run via /google-ads:get-custom with query name image_assets.

Analysis Steps

1. Identify image-eligible campaigns: Search (extensions), Performance Max (required), Demand Gen (required), Display
2. Inventory current images: Count by level, dimensions, file sizes
3. Verify specifications: Square 1:1 (1200x1200), Landscape 1.91:1 (1200x628), Portrait 4:5 (960x1200)
4. Check coverage gaps: Campaigns without images, missing aspect ratios, insufficient quantity
5. Assess quality: Resolution meets minimums, no excessive text, proper ratios

Thresholds

Condition	Severity
PMax campaign without images	Critical
Image below minimum resolution	Warning
Non-standard aspect ratio	Warning
Fewer than 3 images per ratio (PMax)	Warning
Search campaign without image extension	Info

Output

Short (default):

## Image Asset Audit
**Account:** [Name] | **Images:** [X] | **Issues:** [Y]

### Critical ([Count])
- **[Campaign]** (PMax): No images -> Upload square + landscape + portrait

### Warnings ([Count])
- **[X] images** below recommended resolution -> Replace with 1200px versions
- **[Campaign]**: Missing portrait (4:5) images

### Coverage
| Campaign Type | Campaigns | With Images | Status |
|---------------|-----------|-------------|--------|
| Performance Max | X | X | OK/Missing |
| Search | X | X | OK/Add |

### Recommendations
