Description

Why PMax sucks… and how to make it suck less 🤷‍♂️


I recently sat down with Andre Kempe, founder of Admiral Media, on his podcast Why PMax Sucks – and we went deep into the messy world of Google Ads Performance Max.


 


We discussed:


 


🔍 Why PMax feels like a black box (and why that’s a problem)


🧠 Why Meta Ads still wins when it comes to creative testing and control


🛠️ What Google could do better to empower real marketers


💡 When PMax actually performs well – and when it’s just flushing budget


⚔️ Real strategies to make PMax work despite its limitations


 


If you’re an eCommerce brand or a media buyer wrestling with Google Ads, this one will hit home.
