When you need it

Who it’s for

Launch

A store starting ads

You need Merchant Center, tracking and your first Performance Max or Shopping campaign set up properly from day one.

Rebuild

PMax runs, sales don’t

Campaigns are split by audience signals, all products sit in one group, and the algorithm learns from junk conversions.

Catalog

Different products and margins

Products with different prices and margins need segmentation, otherwise the budget goes to the wrong place.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does Performance Max setup cost?
From $250. The price depends on the state of Merchant Center, the feed and tracking, and the number of campaigns.
Which is better: Performance Max or a standard Shopping campaign?
It depends on the catalog, budget and data. Performance Max uses all Google channels, while a Shopping campaign gives more control over products and bids. They’re often combined.
Do I need Merchant Center for Performance Max?
For an online store — yes. Products in Performance Max are served from the Merchant Center feed.
Why segment products?
Products with different margins and prices can’t be optimized the same way. Segmenting with custom labels lets you put the budget into what actually earns.
Are audience signals remarketing?
No. An audience signal is just a hint for the algorithm, and Google may ignore it. Splitting PMax by signals makes no sense.
How long does the launch take?
Up to 7 business days. What slows it down most is website changes, a custom feed and product review.
