Optimize Performance Max for optimal performance

Performance Max uses its own target and its own AI driven machine learning tool. At first, it can be difficult for most advertisers to understand how the whole system works.  

In fact, many of PMax operations are based on the data you have provided in your data feed. This is the area you have control over and it is the way you can best optimize your campaign. If you have not set up your feed correctly, most of the Google Network channels will be interrupted.
