Performance Max is Google’s most advanced campaign format
Performance Max combines Search, Display, YouTube, Discover and Shopping within one campaign. Google uses machine learning to find and convert customers across its advertising channels.
The potential is significant, but performance depends on the strategy, structure and conversion signals behind the campaign.
Performance Max at Raney becomes a genuine growth engine
Performance Max requires active direction rather than a simple launch-and-leave approach. Google’s algorithm can deliver valuable results when it receives clear objectives, effective creative and a carefully structured setup. Without those inputs, Performance Max can become a black box that allocates budget unpredictably.
Raney Consulting takes a strategic approach from the outset. We establish clear conversion objectives, segmented asset groups, effective image and video ads and a continuous optimisation process based on performance data rather than assumptions.
The result is a campaign that uses Google’s machine learning more effectively and generates measurable commercial growth across channels.
What does our Performance Max setup include?
A Performance Max campaign that creates real value takes precise setup, strong creatives and ongoing data-driven optimisation.
Campaign structure and goals
We set clear conversion goals and structure the campaign with segmented asset groups, so the algorithm works precisely towards the right customers and products.
Creatives and assets
Strong creatives are crucial for Performance Max. We produce and optimise copy, images and video ads that work across all of Google's channels.
Conversion tracking
Precise tracking is the foundation for all PMax optimisation. We make sure the algorithm is fed the right conversion signals from day one.
Brand exclusions and control
Performance Max can eat up your brand budget if it is left unchecked. We set up brand exclusions and search themes so the budget reaches new customers rather than existing ones.
Bidding strategies and ROAS
We choose and adjust the bidding strategy continuously based on the campaign's maturity and your goals. The aim is always to maximise ROAS and conversion value within your budget.
Ongoing optimisation and insight
PMax gives you limited insight out of the box. We work systematically with the data points that are available and report continuously on what the campaign actually delivers.
Performance Max with strategy and control behind it
Performance Max performs best when the campaign is guided by experienced specialists. Google’s algorithm needs accurate signals, clear objectives and relevant creative to generate meaningful business growth.
