What Do You Need Before Launching Performance Max Campaigns?

So you want to up your advertising game?

Performance Max campaigns are where it’s lagging!

But before you dive into launching one, getting the right setup is crucial.

This blog will help you ensure you hit the ground running and maximize the campaign's potential.

Here's a handy checklist to get you started.

1. Set Up Conversion Tracking

The backbone of any successful Performance Max campaign is accurate conversion tracking. Configure conversion actions in Google Ads, whether it’s purchases, form submissions, or phone calls.

Ensure these actions align with your campaign goals, so you can measure success effectively.

2. Optimize Your Website

Performance Max campaigns thrive on data, and your website is a goldmine. Make sure your landing pages are optimized for user experience (UX), mobile-friendly, and have clear CTAs.

Google Ads will send users across various platforms to your site, so ensure it’s ready to convert visitors into customers.

3. Link Your Accounts

Integration is key. Link your Google Ads account to Google Merchant Center (for e-commerce), YouTube (for video campaigns), and Analytics.

This connectivity enables better audience targeting and reporting, improving your campaign performance.

4. High-Quality Creatives & Content 

Performance Max campaigns need a mix of engaging assets—images, videos, headlines, and descriptions. The better the quality, the better your ads will resonate with your audience.

Pro tip: Google recommends videos for Performance Max, so invest in short, impactful video content.

5. Audience Signals

Even though Performance Max uses AI to target potential customers, giving it some audience signals helps. Use custom segments, customer lists, or remarketing audiences to guide the algorithm initially.

6. Define Your Goals

What do you want to achieve?

Set clear campaign objectives, whether it’s increasing sales, driving leads, or boosting website traffic.

This clarity helps Google optimize your campaign for the desired results.
