Google Performance Max vs. Traditional PPC: Which One Delivers Better ROI?

If you are wondering what Google Performance Max is, or how it compares with traditional PPC to provide the best ROI, continue reading below. 

Understanding Google Performance Max Campaigns

This is a new type of Google Ads that enables advertisers to run their adverts across all Google networks using a single campaign. You provide headlines, descriptions, images, and/or videos, and Google Ads algorithm creates an appropriate ad combination to show in relevant networks, including:

  • Discovery Feed
  • Gmail
  • Google Display Network
  • Google Search
  • Google Shopping
  • Google Maps
  • YouTube Video
  • YouTube Feed

Performance Max campaigns are AI-based. They require less manual word, though you need to provide the best data inputs to achieve the desired goals. Google Performance Max campaigns are ideal for businesses with clear objectives and who enjoy experimenting with Google's latest AI innovations.

Google Performance Max vs Traditional Google Ads

The differences between the two include:

The good news is that you don't have to choose between Google Performance Max and traditional PPC, as Google has stated that Performance Max should complement your other campaigns.

Google Performance Max vs YouTube

YouTube advert campaigns offer important features that cannot be assessed when compared to Google Performance Max. Google Performance Max campaigns are designed to perform based on your conversion goal, while YouTube ads have non-transactional goals, such as impressions or branding.

Video based metrics, such as your percentage views, through play, and more are not available when it comes to Google Performance Max reporting. Google Performance Max competes against Video Action campaigns and you can actually run both simultaneously, where the ad with the higher ranking is shown. 

Conclusion

As mentioned at the start of this blog, there is no right or wrong on whether you use Google Performance Max or traditional PPC to achieve the best ROI, it is determined by your business goals. Google Performance Max is the future of Google Ads, offering cross-channel placements and bidding, a shift from single-channel marketing.
