Considerations:
When moving over to use Performance Max campaigns, there are a few considerations to take on board. Once troubleshooting is complete, you will have found your own workaround for each of these points, making your advertising journey more seamless.
In comparison to Search Campaigns, Performance Max provides a lower level of control – however, in saying that, the additional fundamentals of P-Max entitle users to home in on their campaigns like never before. On the back of that, users will require high quality photo or video content for advertisements to be approved. This may seem frustrating, but in the end, quality assets are going to be a major plus for your campaign/s.
Additional considerations include:
- Users were unable to add negative keywords to P-Max campaigns in the initial stages of the campaign rollout, however, negative keywords can now be used, allowing advertisers to narrow down their advertising audience even further.
- There is limited control over bidding, meaning cost per conversions can be higher
- There is an added automated bidding strategy, which allows users to add terms but not determine the exact amount bid In comparison to Search Campaigns.
Although there are differences from one campaign type to another, it’s good to keep in mind that both offer different strategies, different approaches, and their own benefits tailored to the campaign approach you prefer or require.
