5-week August live intensive · £99

Google is retiring DSA
Migrate to AI Max ahead of schedule.

New DSA creation ends January 2027; Google starts auto-migrating everyone to AI Max in February 2027. Across five weeks this August - four live sessions with Charlotte plus a practical week - you'll leave with your accounts migrated, not just a plan.

The deadline

This one isn't fake scarcity - it's Google's calendar

Anyone still on DSA gets force-migrated on Google's terms. The window to move on your terms - keeping the control you want - is now.

You migrate on your own terms in this intensive - while DSA is still live and the calls are yours

Google's original auto-migration date for eligible DSA and campaign-level broad match campaigns

ExtendedPushed back to February 2027 - but it's still coming, so it pays to migrate on your terms first.

New DSA creation ends - you can no longer build fresh DSA campaigns

Automatic migration to AI Max now begins - Google moves eligible campaigns to its defaults

Auto-migration means Google restructures your DSA campaigns into AI Max for you - on its defaults, not yours. Migrate first and you keep the brand controls, URL rules and targeting decisions in your hands.

The five weeks

Five weeks in August with Charlotte

Every week is live - show up, bring your accounts, ask questions in the room. You leave each session having done the work, not watched a recording of it.

Week 1Live

What's actually changing

DSA vs AI Max: what maps to what - dynamic ad targets → final URL expansion, page feeds, keywordless matching - what disappears, and what you gain.

Week 2Live

Audit & migration plan

Inventory your DSA campaigns, then weigh your options - migrate to AI Max, rebuild, or move into Performance Max page feeds. Make the structure calls and avoid cannibalising your existing search.

Week 3Live

Build with control

AI Max setup live: brand controls, URL inclusions/exclusions, locations of interest, asset optimisation and negatives - plus search term & asset reporting and how to steer it.

Week 4Practical · no session

Practical homework

No live session this week. Apply the migration to your own accounts at your own pace, and bring what you find to the final session.

Week 5LiveExtended session

Course conclusion & Q&A

An extended closing session: review the results of your migration, draw your conclusions, and get your questions answered - including when to hold DSA until the deadline vs cut over now.

Google is retiring Dynamic Search Ads on its own timeline: new DSA creation ends in January 2027, and automatic migration to AI Max begins in February 2027. This intensive runs in August 2026 so you move on your terms before that auto-migration happens.
