What you see

Five views of your Performance Max campaigns

New demand vs. brand searches

See how much of each campaign's results came from brand searches and how much from new demand. Tell growth apart from customers you already had.

Where the budget goes

See how each campaign's spend splits across Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display and Gmail. A Shopping benchmark shows when budget drifts toward lower-intent placements.

Products, best to worst

Every product is grouped from top earners down to the ones that never convert. See at a glance when a few products carry most of the results.

Profit per product, from your real costs

Add cost per item in Shopify and see estimated profit and profit on ad spend for each product. A product with a strong ROAS can still lose money after costs.
