Performance Max (Pmax) – How to’s
After working on Performance Max (Pmax) accounts for the past few months, we have some recommendations on how to use and not use, this powerful new Google Ads platform.
Who are The Best Candidates For Google Ads Performance Max?
ecommerce
Ecommerce businesses should definitely try PMax out as a replacement for Smart Shopping.
conversion-based campaigns
Any business that has focused conversion-based campaigns and can accurately and fully track those conversions
retail businesses
Any retail business that wants to focus on boosting visits to the store.
Here is a “short list” of the main tips for creating a successful PMax campaign.
Use Performance Max for conversion driven campaigns
Use Performance Max for conversion driven campaigns. Not an awareness campaign, but a campaign designed to increase market penetration and reach new audiences.
implement full conversion tracking
Implement full conversion tracking. The more automation in bidding becomes a factor, the more important conversion tracking becomes.
Use URL exclusions for non-relevant parts
Use URL exclusions for non-relevant parts of your site. Make sure that the PMax campaign is focused on pages that will help to bring conversions. Exclude pages for non-relevant information.
Add at least one
video asset
Add at least one video asset. PMax demands video assets, so if you do not have video available, they will create a video representation for you. Be afraid, be very afraid. Make a video even if it is based on a simple script and a Fiver video provider.
Set specific location settings-“presence”
Set specific location settings-“presence” in an area is best. Be specific on your geo targets, and be sure to focus on “presence” and not “interest” in an area when setting up the campaign. Note: Google will default to “Presence and Interest” so specify just “Interest”.
Create an audience signal for quicker results
Create an audience signal for quicker results. A customer list of remarketing pixel on the website is very helpful in getting an audience going. Custom audiences should include the most popular keywords/items for a firm.
