When to Avoid Running Performance Max Campaigns

When to Avoid Running Performance Max Campaigns

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.
