    The Problem

    PMAX is powerful. It's also a black box.

    Google pushes everyone toward Performance Max. The results look impressive until you dig in and realise you have no idea where the money went or whether it actually added value.

    Primary Issue

    The Black Box Problem

    PMAX gives you one number and calls it a day. You can't see where the budget went, which audiences converted, or which products actually drove the results.

    Brand Cannibalisation

    Left unchecked, PMAX loves to spend on brand terms, inflating results by capturing traffic you'd get anyway. It looks great on reports but adds zero value.

    Asset Group Chaos

    Generic setups dump everything into one asset group. Google can't learn what works because the signals are too mixed.

    Our Approach

    PMAX with actual visibility and control

    We structure PMAX campaigns properly from day one. Asset groups by commercial intent. Brand exclusions that actually work. Scripts that surface the data Google hides. You'll finally know what PMAX is doing.

    Full Visibility

    See exactly where PMAX is spending your money across Search, Shopping, Display, and YouTube.

    Proper Asset Groups

    Asset groups structured by commercial intent, not just product category.

    Signal Control

    Feed Google the right audience signals so the algorithm works for you, not against you.

    Cannibalisation Prevention

    Stop PMAX from eating your branded Search and Shopping traffic.

    Real Result

    "40% of our PMAX budget was going to Display. We had no idea."

    A fashion DTC brand came to us spending £45k/month on PMAX with "great ROAS". Our audit revealed 40% was going to low-intent Display placements. We restructured, redirected budget to Shopping, and increased profitable conversions by 67%.

    March 2026 Update

    Updated March 2026

    Latest platform changes and how we're adapting our approach:

    • PMax asset group controls for separating Search from Shopping placements are now fully implemented across all accounts.
    • Enhanced asset-level reporting now available. Our audits assess PMax creative performance at individual asset level.
    • Brand exclusion capabilities now support negative keywords at asset group level for better brand isolation.
    • Consent Mode v2 enforcement means many brands under-report conversions by 15-30%. We now include a Consent Mode health check in every PMax review.
