Clickbait Exposed: The Dark Side of Social Media Slang

This episode exposes the pitfalls of relying on Performance Max (PMAX) campaigns and misleading in-app ROAS metrics. Instead of letting Google’s AI dictate success, marketers must focus on real business health—profitability and growth. The discussion highlights PMAX’s limits for expansion, the importance of third-party attribution, and why agencies should educate clients before making disruptive changes. The key takeaway? Success isn’t about ROAS—it’s about actual profit.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: Reflecting on Pre-PMAX Strategies00:34 Educate Before You Disrupt: Client Communication00:44 Performance Max vs. Standard Shopping01:15 The Importance of Client's Bank Account Health01:42 Challenges with Performance Max02:46 Case Study: Agency Performance Evaluation04:28 Measuring Business Health Over ROAS06:35 Benchmarking and Scaling StrategiesThis is a clip from one of our You vs. Google Mastermind. 👉 Join our You vs. Google Mastermind to get exclusive access to weekly calls and Q&A sessions, insider resources and training, and a private Slack group: https://youvsgoogle.com/ 👉 Get free guides, templates, SOPs, checklists, and worksheets to help you grow your business: https://sol8.com/free-stuff/👉 Get our latest content every Monday, straight to your inbox.
