Are you affected by these common PMax challenges?

By using the default setup, which doesn’t take into account data such as stock levels, product life cycles or margins, you’re treating all your products the same. Consequence? Campaigns aren’t aligned with your business objectives. You’re also missing out on relevant insights to improve performance, differentiate and outperform your competitors.

Our data shows that 80% of the campaign budget goes to 0.5% of the products. By relying on top sellers and neglecting your long-tail products, you overlook potential revenue opportunities, create a negative impact on your incremental revenue and can have problems scaling your business.

With PMax the days of adjusting bids on SKU level are gone. You’ve no control over which products will be pushed, by how much, and via which channel. Your only lever to control bids is the ROAS target. The consequence? Default PMax campaigns aren’t pushing the products that are most relevant for your business.

Turn your data
into actions

/
  • Provide PMax with critical data at the SKU level. Our AI-based inventory scoring model enhances your products with marketing, performance and product data.
  • Optimise the predictive model with historical data and information on similar products, especially the long-tail. Use the calculated score to gain insight into conversion potential to improve your PMax campaigns.
/

Create campaigns that deliver a healthy revenue mix

/
  • Based on the calculated score each product is assigned to the right campaign with a ROAS target in line with your objectives.
  • Drive revenue growth by strategically prioritizing long-tail products with strong conversion rates.
  • This way you ensure that you're not overspending on top sellers and that you're generating revenue from as many products as possible.
/

Give every product the spotlight it deserves

/
  • Our algorithm recalculates the score per SKU on a daily basis. This ensures that volatile parameters (e.g. stock level) are regularly taken into account.
  • Each day, each of your products is assigned to the ideal campaign and advertised accordingly.
  • The result: an optimal push of relevant products and a maximum increase in your revenues.
/

Increase your bottom-line with more campaign types

/
  • Not every product is suitable for PMax campaigns. Often it is smarter to use classic Shopping or Search campaigns instead.
  • Based on your individual goals, we create a cross-channel strategy for you and take care of the ideal setup.
  • Continuously optimise your channel mix with our proven A/B testing process and the expertise of our account managers.
