ICYMI: Google is rolling out a new campaign type called Performance Max that replaces Smart Shopping campaigns. Smart Shopping has been great from a channel diversification perspective, expanding your real estate from the Shopping tab across Google’s Display Network, YouTube and Gmail without having to set up specific campaigns across these verticals.

Performance Max builds on Smart Shopping by making available new inventory, including Dynamic Search Ads, Discovery Ads and YouTube Instream. Google likes PMAX so much that they’re forcing everyone to migrate over to these campaigns come July 1st – this means the time to test and learn is closing fast, and we have seen there is an element of learning from the machine’s side before ROAS returns to normal before starting to trend in the right direction.

Similar to Google Analytics 4’s event-based system, PMAX is touted as a goals-based, automated solution targeted at unlocking maximum performance comprised of the following three components:

  1. A single, goal-based campaign focused on achieving the performance objectives, leveraging automation and machine learning.
  2. Path-to-purchase aware, ensuring the right ad served at the right time in line with your marketing objectives.
  3. Access to the best inventory across Google properties to reach customers where they are, efficiently and at scale.
