You can use campaign priority to:
Correct Answer
determine which campaign’s bid to use for a product when the same product is included in multiple campaigns
Key takeaways
Priority decides which campaign's bid is used when a product is in several.
Higher priority wins regardless of bid amount.
It is the basis of tiered Shopping structures.
Why is this the correct answer?
Campaign priority resolves a conflict: when the same product sits in more than one of your campaigns, priority decides which campaign's bid enters the auction. High priority wins regardless of bid amount, which is what makes tiered structures possible — a high-priority campaign with a deliberately low bid can catch broad traffic cheaply, leaving a lower-priority campaign with a higher bid to handle the more specific, more valuable queries.
Why are the other options wrong?
edit maximum CPC bids, tracking templates, or custom parameters and destination URLs for non-subdivided product groups
Editing bids, tracking templates and URLs describes routine campaign management, not the purpose of the priority setting.
promote certain product groups across all your campaigns
Priority does not promote product groups across campaigns. It arbitrates between campaigns containing the same product.
subdivide campaign products according to freely-assigned values with custom labels
Subdividing products by your own values is what custom labels do.
Frequently asked questions about this topic
How does a tiered Shopping structure work?
You put the same products in several campaigns at different priorities, using negative keywords to push traffic down the tiers. The high-priority campaign bids low and catches broad queries; more specific queries are excluded there so they fall through to a lower-priority campaign bidding more aggressively.
