Ich dachte, mehr Kampagnen bringen mehr Sichtbarkeit. Falsch gedacht. Erst als ich verstanden habe, wie Google intern entscheidet, welches Produkt wann ausgespielt wird, wurde mir klar: Ich habe mein Werbebudget teilweise gegen mich selbst eingesetzt. In dieser Folge zeige ich dir, wie du diese Falle vermeidest – und deine Kampagnen endlich sauber steuerst. Weniger ist manchmal mehr – das gilt vor allem für Google Shopping Kampagnen. Ich sehe es fast täglich: Händler:innen haben mehrere PMAX und Shopping-Kampagnen parallel laufen. Klingt nach Skalierung, ist aber oft genau das Gegenteil. Denn: Google lässt deine Kampagnen gegeneinander antreten. Was dann passiert, ist unsichtbare Kannibalisierung. Ich war selbst überrascht, als ich tiefer in die Mechanik gegangen bin: Wer alle Produkte in alle Kampagnen kippt, überlässt Google die Entscheidung – basierend auf Geboten, nicht auf Strategie. Das kann teuer werden. In dieser Folge erkläre ich dir, wie du saubere Kampagnenstrukturen aufbaust – mit Inventarfiltern, benutzerdefinierten Labels und Kampagnen-Prioritäten. Ich zeige dir auch, warum zu viele kleine Kampagnen manchmal genauso schädlich sind wie eine einzige große. Du bekommst konkrete Beispiele für Produktgruppen, Filterlogiken und wie du Assets in PMAX richtig steuerst. Wenn du sicherstellen willst, dass deine Kampagnen sich nicht mehr selbst blockieren – dann ist diese Folge Pflichtprogramm.

Today we're going to talk about a kind of a specialized way of advertising that I'm a little skeptical of, and I should be, called Google PMax or Performance Max.

„Ich war echt überrascht: Plötzlich zeigt Google, wo meine PMAX-Kampagnen wirklich ausgespielt werden. Jahrelang war das ein blinder Fleck – jetzt kommt endlich Transparenz. Und gleichzeitig ein paar neue Stolperfallen, die kaum jemand kennt.“ Lange hieß es: „P-MAX ist eine Blackbox“. Und ganz ehrlich – genau das hat viele meiner Kunden gestört. Keine Einsicht, keine Kontrolle, kein Plan, wo das Budget eigentlich landet. Aber jetzt passiert etwas Spannendes: Google öffnet langsam die Blackbox. In dieser Folge bekommst du die wichtigsten P-MAX Updates aus dem Juni auf den Punkt – mit klarer Einschätzung, was das für dich bedeutet. Du erfährst: – Wie du jetzt endlich siehst, auf welchen Kanälen deine Anzeigen laufen – Wie du Suchbegriffe in P-MAX auswertest – und wann du aufpassen musst mit Ausschlüssen – Warum du dringend prüfen solltest, ob Google deine Bilder automatisch verwendet – Wie die neuen KI-Übersichten (AI Overviews) SEO-Traffic killen – aber Ads retten können – Warum du bei Bildeinsatz und Lizenzrechten aufpassen musst, um Abmahnungen zu vermeiden Mein Fazit: Es wird mehr möglich – aber auch komplexer. Wer die Kontrolle behalten will, muss sich jetzt reinarbeiten. Oder sich jemanden holen, der den Überblick hat. https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/channel-performance-reporting-coming-to-performance-max/ https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/google-search-ai-brand-discovery/

„Als ich zum ersten Mal von AI-MAX gehört habe, war ich skeptisch. Keine Keywords mehr? Klingt verrückt – aber genau das rollt Google jetzt für alle aus. In dieser Folge zeige ich dir, was das für deine Ads bedeutet – und ob sich der Hype wirklich lohnt.“ Vor ein paar Wochen ploppte sie auf: die AI-MAX-Funktion. Eine neue Beta von Google, die jetzt innerhalb von Tagen für alle Ads-Konten weltweit freigeschaltet wird. Ich dachte erst: „Okay, wieder ein neues Buzzword von Google.“ Doch dann habe ich genauer hingeschaut – und gemerkt, dass hier gerade etwas ziemlich Großes passiert. In dieser Folge zeige ich dir, was es mit AI-MAX auf sich hat, warum sie nicht einfach eine neue PMAX ist – sondern gezielt auf die Google Suche optimiert wurde. Und: Warum klassische Keyword-Strategien damit bald überflüssig sein könnten. Du erfährst: – Was AI-MAX eigentlich ist (Spoiler: eine KI-Version der Suchkampagne) – Wie du deine Assets gestalten musst, damit Google wirklich verkaufen kann – Warum Conversion-Tracking jetzt noch wichtiger wird – Für wen sich AI-MAX lohnt – und wann du lieber die Finger davon lassen solltest – Was du unbedingt deaktivieren musst, wenn du Kontrolle über deine Texte behalten willst Ich zeige dir auch live im Konto, wo du die Funktion findest und welche Warnhinweise Google selbst bereits gibt. Und ich teile offen meine erste Einschätzung aus echten Kampagnen: Lohnt sich der Umstieg? Oder verbrennst du damit nur Budget? https://blog.google/intl/de-de/produkte/google-fuer-unternehmen/optimale-performance-mit-ai-max-fuer-suchkampagnen/

This week on Marketing O'Clock: Microsoft Ads drops new reporting tools and ends PMax's priority over Standard Shopping.

"Ich dachte, ich mache alles richtig bei Google Ads. Dann platzte die Kampagne. Warum? Ich hatte ein Detail übersehen, das alles verändert hat." In dieser Q&A-Folge aus unserer Skool-Community beantworte ich zwei spannende Fragen, die für viele Unternehmer:innen extrem relevant sind: Welche PMAX-Neuerungen musst du kennen, damit dein Budget nicht versenkt wird? Und wie sieht die effizienteste Struktur für lokal ausgerichtete Suchkampagnen aus? Zuerst zur PMAX: Ich zeige dir, warum Ausschluss-Keywords dort ganz anders wirken als in klassischen Suchkampagnen. Ein Kunde hat das am eigenen Konto gespürt: Nach dem Entfernen von neun harmlos wirkenden Keywords explodierten plötzlich Klicks, Kosten und Conversions. Der Aha-Moment? Google interpretiert Ausschlüsse in PMAX thematisch über alle Kanäle hinweg. Das kann zum echten Conversion-Killer werden, wenn du nicht weißt, was du tust. Außerdem stelle ich dir die neue Kanalauswertung vor, die Google aktuell testet. Damit kannst du bald direkt im Konto analysieren, ob dein Traffic eher von YouTube, Gmail oder dem Display-Netzwerk kommt – ganz ohne externe Skripte. Ein riesiger Fortschritt für alle, die wissen wollen, was ihre Kampagnen wirklich leisten. Dann geht es um die Frage: Wie strukturierst du deine Kampagnen bei lokalen Suchbegriffen? Ich vergleiche zwei Varianten: eine klassische mit vielen Keywords in einer Anzeigengruppe – und eine "Single Keyword Ad Group"-Variante mit je einem Keyword pro Anzeigengruppe. Mein Fazit: Variante 1 ist nicht nur deutlich effizienter in der Umsetzung, sondern auch stabiler in der Performance. Warum? Weil Google bei zu kleinteiligen Strukturen kaum genug Daten bekommt, um sinnvoll zu optimieren. Und ja: Auch wenn du für jeden Ort eine eigene Landingpage nutzt, solltest du dabei keine dynamischen Inhalte ausgeben. Google mag das überhaupt nicht. Wenn du wissen willst, wie du PMAX und lokale Kampagnen endlich richtig nutzt, hör rein. Und falls du noch Fragen hast – wir sind nur ein Gespräch entfernt.

Endlich ist es da: Das Channel Reporting für Performance Max Kampagnen – ein Feature, auf das viele Advertiser seit Jahren gewartet haben. Bisher glichen PMax-Kampagnen oft einer Blackbox: Du wusstest, dass deine Anzeigen ausgespielt wurden – aber nicht genau wo, also auf welchen Google-Kanälen wie Search, YouTube, Discover, Display, Gmail oder Maps. Mit dem neuen Channel Reporting hat Google nun die Möglichkeit geschaffen, diese Ausspielungen endlich kanalweise aufzuschlüsseln. Simone Kiel von webnetz berichtet, warum das neue Reporting so wichtig ist, welche Potenziale es für Auswertung und Steuerung von Kampagnen bietet – und wo Google leider noch nachbessern muss. Ein Must-Listen für alle, die PMax Kampagnen datenbasiert optimieren wollen. Fünf Fragen, die diese Podcast-Folge beantwortet: Was genau steckt hinter dem neuen Channel Reporting von Google Ads für PMax Kampagnen? Welche Kanäle kann man jetzt endlich getrennt auswerten – und was bringt das konkret? Wo liegt weiterhin die Grenze zwischen Transparenz und Blackbox bei PMax? Welche Schwächen hat das neue Feature – und wie geht das Team bei webnetz damit um? Wie lassen sich diese neuen Daten strategisch nutzen, um Kampagnen besser zu steuern? Simone sagt: „PMax war lange eine Blackbox – das neue Channel Reporting bringt endlich Licht ins Dunkel, auch wenn noch Schatten bleiben.“ Mit: Simone Kiel, Paid Media Marketing Expertin bei webnetz

This week on Marketing O'Clock: Final URLs are turning into QR codes on TV screens. Meanwhile, Google Lens is rolling out to YouTube Shorts with real-time visual search. Also, PMax video ads are expanding to Search, Shopping, Image, and Discover tabs.Visit us at - https://marketingoclock.com/

Wir beleuchten die Flut an KI-Neuerungen, die größtenteils auf dem Google Marketing Live Event 2025 vorgestellt wurden. Im Fokus stehen diesmal revolutionäre KI-Integrationen, die das Werbe-Universum verändern: Die wichtigsten Facts: AI Max in der Suche: Eine neue Beta (ehemals Search Max), bei der KI die Steuerung von Suchkampagnen übernimmt. Integriert, kein neues Kampagnenformat. Broad Match Kampagnen könnten automatisch umfunktioniert werden. AI Overviews mit Anzeigen: Die KI-generierten Zusammenfassungen in den Google Suchergebnissen (AI Overviews) zeigen nun auch Shopping- und Search-Anzeigen. Eine Reaktion auf verändertes, konversationelleres Suchverhalten. AI Mode (Beta in USA): Ein neuer, separater Tab in der Google Suche, der als interaktiver KI-Agent für komplexere Anfragen dient – vergleichbar mit einem Chatbot und potenziell mit eigenen Werbeformaten. Demand Gen Kampagnen-Updates: Google Maps Platzierung: Über "Promoted Pins" können Demand Gen Kampagnen nun auch auf Google Maps erscheinen, was besonders für lokale Unternehmen interessant ist. YouTube Pause Ads: Werbeanzeigen, die eingeblendet werden, wenn Nutzer ein YouTube-Video pausieren (vorerst mobil), gespeist aus dem Demand Gen Universum. Weitere Diskussionsthemen: Das "Power Pack" (Kombination aus Broad Match, PMax und Demand Gen). Die anhaltende Bedeutung von Google Business Profilen und Local SEO. Die Herausforderungen und Chancen durch KI, inklusive Auswirkungen auf Impressions und die Notwendigkeit, Nutzerdaten und Googles Empfehlungen kritisch zu bewerten. Ein kurzer Ausblick auf das "Creator Partnership Hub" und die Zukunft des Trackings. Erfahre, wie diese Updates Deine Kampagnen beeinflussen könnten und welche strategischen Überlegungen jetzt wichtig sind.

Google is positioning AI at the center of its advertising ecosystem with substantial changes to search, shopping, and campaign management. The new "PowerPack" approach combines Performance Max, Demand Gen, and AI Max for search campaigns, though questions remain about how these components will work together without cannibalizing each other.• AI Overviews and AI Mode represent massive shifts in search, with Google generating answers directly and using "query fanning" to search multiple queries behind the scenes• Ads will be integrated directly into AI Overviews and AI Mode conversations, changing how users interact with advertising• "Agentic" shopping experiences allow Google's AI to make purchases without users visiting websites, potentially transforming e-commerce• Smart Bidding Exploration allows Google to miss ROAS targets by 10-30% to explore new queries, though the benefit to advertisers remains unclear• New channel-level performance reporting for PMAX provides visibility into which channels and ad types drive results• Enhanced New Customer Acquisition features offer more granular exclusion options for existing and warm traffic• Asset Studio and Product Studio provide new creative tools for building and managing assets• Commerce Media Suite introduces retail media network capabilities, allowing retailers to make first-party audiences available• Three new AI Experts (Ads, Analytics, and Marketing Advisor) aim to provide conversational assistance for campaign managementVisit smarter-ecommerce.com to access resources like our State of PMax report, our brand versus non-brand PMax script, and our new PMax script to help understand channel performance reports.

If you're looking to up your game with Google Ads, you're in the right place. We're diving deep into the world of Performance Max, or PMAX, and sharing the five essential dos and five key don'ts for optimising your campaigns. Understanding what you aim to achieve with your campaign is crucial before you even set your bid strategy. With insights from Google Ads experts Becky Hopkin and Johnny Hyams, we'll equip you with practical tips to fill your optimisation to-do list for months to come.The 5 Dos of PMax OptimisationUnderstand channel performance: PMax campaigns run across various Google channels, so it's important to analyze performance on each to optimise effectively. Use scripts to get data on channel performance and understand where your budget is going.Test feed-only PMax: To prioritize shopping and limit placements, create PMax campaigns using only a product feed and no other assets. This gives you more control and focuses spend on shopping, which often performs best for eCommerce.Use high-quality assets: If you include images, videos, headlines, and descriptions, ensure they are high quality and relevant. All creatives should work well together, and asset groups should be used to maintain coherence.Use negative keywords: Add negative keywords to your PMax campaigns to refine targeting and prevent irrelevant traffic. Google now allows adding negative keywords at the campaign level, which gives you greater control.Align bid strategy with objectives: Choose the right bid strategy and set appropriate targets to achieve your campaign goals.The 5 Don'ts of PMax OptimisationOnly use PMax campaigns: Don't rely solely on PMax; continue to use other campaign types like search, remarketing, and display for better control and targeting.Bid on your brand name in PMax: Exclude your brand name from PMax campaigns to avoid paying higher costs per click, and use separate search campaigns for brand terms.Let campaigns be limited by budget: If possible, avoid budget limitations, and adjust targets or increase budgets to maximize potential.Overly segment campaigns: Avoid excessive segmentation, as PMax needs sufficient conversions to optimise effectively.Leave final URL expansion on: Turn off the final URL expansion setting to control which pages users land on and prevent traffic from going to irrelevant pages.Find the notes here: https://keepopt.com/259Download our ebook >> https://keepopt.com/ebook "500 Top Tips to Make Your eCommerce Business More Profitable" ****Get all the links and resources we mention & join our email list at https://keepopt.comLove the show?

In der webnetz Snacks News Box gibt Katharina aus dem Paid Marketing ein spannendes Update zu den neuesten Entwicklungen bei Google Ads. Im Mittelpunkt steht AI Max – eine brandneue, KI-basierte Erweiterung für Suchkampagnen, die laut Google mehr Performance bei gleichem Budget liefern soll. Google AI Max wird voraussichtlich Anfang Juli 2025 für alle Werbetreibenden verfügbar sein. AI Max ist kein neues Kampagnenformat, sondern eine zuschaltbare Funktion innerhalb bestehender Search-Kampagnen. Sie kombiniert intelligente Keyword-Expansion, automatisierte Anzeigentexte und Landingpage-Optimierung – ganz im Stil von Performance Max, aber speziell für Search. Was kann AI Max wirklich? Katharina gibt einen fundierten Einblick und teilt ihre Einschätzungen. Die Antworten auf diese 5 Fragen erfährst du in der Folge: Was genau ist AI Max – und wie verändert es klassische Search-Kampagnen? Wie verspricht Google bis zu 27 % mehr Conversions bei gleichem CPA? Was passiert mit unseren Exact und Phrase Match Keywords in einer AI Max-Strategie? Ist AI Max transparent oder nur eine neue PMAX-Blackbox für Search? Wie gut funktionieren automatisch generierte Anzeigen und Landingpage-Zuordnungen? Katharina sagt: „AI Max bringt die Power von PMAX in die Suchkampagnen – aber mit mehr Kontrolle. Die KI passt Anzeigen an den Suchkontext und die Landingpage an – das ist neu.” Mit: Katharina Knolle, Paid Marketing Expertin bei webnetz

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signup Welcome to the DTC Podcast! In this episode, Eric sits down with Dougie from Pilothouse's Google team to dive deep into how to leverage Google Ads' Performance Max (PMAX) campaigns for demand capture while building long-term growth strategies. With the recent Google update allowing shopping campaigns to compete with PMAX on ad rank, Dougie shares actionable insights for structuring hybrid campaigns, integrating first-party data, and tracking true incrementality. Whether you're looking to optimize your ad spend or balance top-of-funnel and lower-funnel efforts, this episode has you covered. Key Takeaways: PMAX vs. Shopping: Learn why hybrid campaign structures work better than running PMAX alone, especially for targeting both warm and cold audiences. Top-of-Funnel Investments: How efforts like TV and YouTube ads create a "halo effect" on demand capture—but only when backed by sufficient budgets. Attribution Hacks: Why GA4, Northbeam, or Triple Whale should supplement Google's in-platform attribution to avoid over-attributing conversions. Practical Adjustments: Dougie explains how feed management, segmentation, and careful audience targeting maximize PMAX performance over time. Whether you're scaling your DTC brand or refining your Google Ads strategy, Dougie's insights will help you navigate the challenges of 2025 and beyond.

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?
