Performance Max, Standard Shopping, or Search? If you're running an ecommerce business, you have likely stared at your screen wondering which Google Ads campaign type will actually drive sales without wasting your budget. In episode 99 of the Inside Google Ads podcast, host Jyll Saskin Gales answers your most common questions about how to choose the right campaign for your products.

She discusses why the newest AI features aren't always the best place to start, especially if you are working with a limited daily budget or a new Merchant Center feed. Jyll breaks down exactly when it makes sense to graduate from Standard Shopping to Performance Max, and why "boring" Shopping campaigns often outperform Search campaigns for retail businesses. Plus, she explains the dangers of running all three campaign types simultaneously and how to stop them from stealing traffic from one another.

In this episode, we'll cover:

• The specific budget and sales volume thresholds you need to hit before launching a PMax campaign
• Why Standard Shopping is usually the best starting point for validating your conversion tracking and feed
• The pros and cons of Google Search versus Google Shopping for e-commerce products
• How to handle campaign overlap so you aren't competing against yourself

Plus, stay tuned until the end of the episode for a new Insider Challenge to solve!

In this crossover episode of Inside Google Ads with Jyll Saskin Gales and PPC Town Hall with Optmyzr CEO Fred Vallaeys, they discuss the evolving role of the PPC professional. Automation, Performance Max, Smart Bidding and generative AI has fundamentally changed the industry, moving from an era of hands-on control to one of strategic guidance.

Jyll shares her insights on how practitioners can embrace this new reality. She argues that the core focus must shift from micromanaging every bid and keyword to properly setting up conversion goals, selecting the right bid strategy, and refining creative assets. Learn why bidding is now potentially more important than targeting, and how to avoid the biggest mistakes practitioners make when transitioning to smart bidding. Jyll also offers practical advice on campaign structure, asset management, and how to effectively use new tools like Gemini and AI Max to scale your expertise, not just your output.

Key Topics Discussed:
- The strategic shift from controlling to guiding in modern Google Ads
- Why smart bidding is often superior to manual CPC and how to make it work
- The three key levers for optimizing Performance Max campaigns
- How audience signals and search themes function as guidance, not control, in PMax
- The difference between mistakes made by small businesses and large advertisers in Google Ads
- The role of micro-conversions in helping low-volume accounts ramp up
- The concept of signal duplication and signal fragmentation in campaign structure
- How to effectively use generative AI tools like Gemini to enhance ad copy and strategy
- An early-days assessment of AI Max and when to use it for search expansion
