Performance Max Mastery Information
Performance Max was supposed to simplify Google Ads, but actually made it harder
Performance Max is Google’s latest automated campaign type. With just one campaign, you can launch ads across all of Google’s ad inventory (Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display, Discovery, Gmail & Maps). Performance Max was supposed to make everything easier, but in reality only made everything harder.
Its potential is huge, but most marketers don’t know how to optimally set up, analyze, optimize and scale Performance Max.
Here are a few problems with Performance Max:
- It seems easy to set up, but it’s actually hard to scale profitably when done incorrectly
- pMax is still relatively new and there’s not a lot of expert knowledge available yet
- It’s getting harder to differentiate when everyone uses the same technology
- You have extremely little control over your ad spend
- Old best practices no longer guarantee success
Unfortunately, there is no way around Performance Max.
- Google has replaced Smart Shopping campaigns with Performance Max campaigns
- Google will continue to automate everything even further, including Performance Max
- So therefore we have to adapt, and find new ways to beat our competitors
The Google Ads landscape is changing so fast. If you don’t stay up to date with the latest developments, it’s going to be very hard to keep your edge and your competitors will eventually beat you.
