Reach more shoppers with a Performance Max campaign
Performance Max campaigns feature paid ads that help you reach more shoppers across Google properties, including YouTube, Gmail, Search, and the Google Display Network. Built for e-commerce, your ads are automatically created based on products synced to your Google Merchant Center, so you don’t need to design ads.
Google’s machine learning uses your product feed to create and show a variety of ads designed to reach the right shoppers at the right time. Your ads are continually optimized as the algorithm tests different combinations of the image and text assets you provide, then shows the most relevant ads, automatically.
Why use Performance Max?
- Your best-performing ads are shown more often.
- Automatic bidding takes the guesswork out of keyword strategy.
- Seamless integration with third-party e-commerce platforms simplifies the lift.
To set up a Performance Max campaign, simply sync your products through Google Listings & Ads and set a daily budget. Google takes care of the rest, using a variety of real-time signals to optimize your campaign and choose the best time and place to display your products.
- Performance Max campaigns use cost-per-click pricing, which means you only pay when customers click on your ad.

Your store is automatically opted into free listings automatically and you can choose to run a paid Performance Max Campaign.
