Episode 495: 2 Things That Are Wasting Your Google Performance Max Budget

In the Perpetual Traffic nugget episode, Ralph is joined by John Moran who discusses the importance of effectively utilizing P Max, a type of advertising campaign. John highlights the significance of identifying the starting point for P Max and advises against overspending on ineffective keywords and remarketing to existing customers. He emphasizes the need for data-driven attribution to accurately assess the impact of P Max and other marketing channels. Using a customer’s click path as an example, he illustrates the challenges in determining whether a P Max click resulted in a subscription or if the customer was already a subscriber. John suggests that businesses should identify the most effective marketing channels for their specific audience to optimize their spending and avoid relying solely on P Max.
