70% is running late

The majority of SMEs have not yet taken any steps towards migration.

Google's hard deadline

uur: that's how quickly you'll get our answer

Do you recognise said?

Your Google Ads campaign is running. You're getting clicks, maybe conversions. Your agency sends a neat report every month. Everything seems fine. But under the bonnet, there's something almost no one tells you: your campaign is probably running on Dynamic Search Ads. And DSA is ceasing to exist.

Not slowly, not gradually. In September 2026, Google will switch it off. All DSA campaigns will go from on to off. No email, no notification in your dashboard. Your ads will simply no longer appear.

That's not a reproach to you. That's how the industry works. DSA was the standard for years because it was easy to set up and gave quick results. Agencies used it extensively. But now that the end is in sight, it's time to know where you stand.

What does it say on the game?

If your campaign is running on DSA and no one converts, your ad stops. The phone stops ringing. The leads stop. Purely technical.

Without migration (DSA) With immigration (AI Max)

What you need to know about AI Max

AI Max is not just a name change. It's a completely different system. Where DSA scanned your website and linked search queries to it, AI Max goes much further. It reads your website live, understands the context, and decides in real time which search query is commercially valuable.

It can dynamically adjust ad copy and select target audiences based on expected conversion behaviour. But the first few weeks after migration are unpredictable. Click prices change. The searches you appear for change. And your budget can be depleted faster than you're used to.

Therefore, starting early is crucial. Those who start a test campaign in July will have a stable AI Max campaign in September. Those who start in September are gambling with money.

The timetable: Wat moet er wanneer gebeuren?

Frequently Asked questions

What happens if I do nothing by September 2026?

Your DSA campaigns will be automatically turned off by Google. There is no transition period. Your ads will no longer appear and you will not receive an automatic notification.

Is AI Max more expensive than DSA?

Not by definition. AI Max can be more efficient because it targets smarter. Click prices are sometimes higher, but the conversion quality is often better. The first few weeks after migration are usually slightly more expensive as the system still needs to learn.

How long does the migration take?

The technical transfer will take a few hours. However, the optimisation and stabilisation will take two to four weeks. Expect at least a month if you want to do it properly.

Do I need to adapt my website?

Not necessarily, but it helps if your website is well optimised. AI Max reads your pages to determine which searches are relevant. The clearer your content, the better the target.

Is the check really free?

Yes. No hidden costs, no automatic subscriptions, no hard sell afterwards. We believe that if you see how well we handle this, you'll come back yourself when you need help.

Can TheSEO also do the migration?

Yes. After the free check, you can choose to have the migration carried out by us. But that is entirely optional. We will give you honest advice regardless, even if you want to do it yourself.

Don't wait until September

The entrepreneurs who are starting now are calm in September. The rest are rushing. Which do you want to be a part of?
