# Use Performance Segmentation in rules and Google Ads
> #### **Who can use this feature**
>
> You need the **Core Pro** plan in your [Channable subscription](/account-billing/manage-your-subscription/channables-pricing-plans.md) to use this feature.
Once you've set up a Google Ads Insights dashboard, you can use performance labels it generates for your items (Heroes, Villains, Sidekicks, and Zombies) to group the performance of your items in rules. You can use these labels to optimize your ad strategy based on your top performers.
In this article, you'll learn how to set up and use performance segmentation labels in rules for Google Ads.
***
### :memo-circle-check: **Before you start**
**You’ll need**
* An active Google Ads Insights dashboard
* A Google Ads channel or Google Shopping feed/API channel
### **Use Performance Segmentation in rules**
{% hint style="info" %}
Insights label names changed on July 13, 2026.
Your metrics and segmentation logic remain unchanged. If your dashboard uses labels in Rules or Mapping, your previous names remain active. [Request a switch](/manage-improve-product-data/insights/insights-for-ads/how-to-switch-to-the-new-insights-segmentation-label-names.md) to use Heroes, Sidekicks, Villains, and Zombies by December 28, 2026.
{% endhint %}
1. In your Channable project, go to **\[your channel/ads generator] > Rules.**
2. Click **+ Create rule**.
3. When selecting a condition (IF) or action (THEN), you'll see **\[your insights dashboard name]** among other options like **Project fields** and **Internal fields**.
4. For the IF condition, select `segmentation` .
5. An additional field containing `Heroes` will appear in your IF condition. Click **Heroes** to change it to the other available labels.
From here, you can create performance-based rules to support your strategy.
### **Send segmentation labels to Google Ads**
Option 1: Add custom labels through a data feed
{% hint style="info" %}
To send items to Google Merchant Center via Channable, you’ll need to set up a Google Shopping feed.
{% endhint %}
You can set up campaigns in Google Ads to only include items with a specific label by adding a custom\_label field to your Google Shopping feeds.
1. Go to **Channels > \[your Google Shopping feed] > Mapping**.
2. In the **Channel field** column, find `g:custom_label_0.`
3. In the corresponding field for `g:custom_label_0` (in **Internal field** column), click on the field > **\[your Google Ads Dashboard] > ‘segmentation’**
Now you can set up campaigns in Google Ads with the products with the specific label.
Option 2: As a custom label through a data feed separately from the main data feed
If you're already sending items to Google Merchant Center via another tool, you can add custom labels through [a supplemental feed](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/7439058?hl=en#zippy=%2Cinstructions).
1. Create a [custom XML feed](/import-data/import-how-to/import-your-product-data/import-via-a-data-file/xml.md).
2. In **\[your custom XML feed]**, go to the **Mapping** step.
3. Click **+ Add new field**. Click on the field it generates and select **Project fields** > **\[the field containing your product IDs]**.
4. 1\. At **Channel field name,** name this field the same name as the field containing your product IDs.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure your `id` field in the supplemental feeds matches exactly with the `id` field in your primary feeds.
{% endhint %}
4. Click **+ Add new field**. Click on the field it generates and select **\[your Google Ads Insights dashboard]** > **segmentation**.
1. At **Channel field name,** name this field “g:custom\_label\_0”
5. Click **Save & run.**
6. Go to the **Preview** step and [add your feed to Google Merchant Center](/list-advertise/google/how-to-add-products-to-google-merchant-center.md). Now you can set up campaigns in Google Ads with the products with the specific label
Option 3: Through a Channable Google Ads generator
Use this option to use these specific labels to create campaigns in our PPC tool.
1. Go to **Setup > Project fields**.
2. Click **+ Add project field**.
3. Create a field called “performance\_label” (type ‘Text’), for example.
4. If you want to create a campaign per segmentation label, go to **Ads** and open **\[your Google Ads channel]**.
5. Go to **Rules** and click **+ Create rule**.
6. Create a rule that fills the custom field you created earlier with the Segmentation label names for the Shopping Ads Generator.
**Example rule:**
7. Go to the **Campaigns** tab.
8. For **Campaign template**, click and select \[your performance\_label field] to set it as a dynamic field. This will create a campaign for each label.
9. For **Campaign country**, set the target country.
10. For **Daily budget**, set your daily budget per campaign.
11. Click **Save**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/insights/insights-for-ads/use-performance-segmentation-in-rules-and-google-ads.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
4. For the IF condition, select `segmentation` .
5. An additional field containing `Heroes` will appear in your IF condition. Click **Heroes** to change it to the other available labels.
