I’m excited to share that Google has expanded the Performance Max Channel reporting to MCCs, providing us advertisers with unprecedented insights across accounts. This new update allows me to see how PMax spends and performs across various channels, all in one place.

The Channel Performance report, which was previously available only per account, is now accessible in some manager (MCC) accounts. This is particularly thrilling as I’ve been eager for Google to confirm this rollout, and now it’s happening in live environments!
Why it’s important to me: This MCC-level visibility means I can efficiently analyze Performance Max’s spend allocation across different channels like Search, Display, YouTube, Discover, Gmail, and Shopping without having to dive into separate accounts. It’s a fantastic time-saver for managing large portfolios.

What I’m paying attention to: I’m keen to see when this feature becomes widely available across all MCCs. Plus, I’m hoping Google might introduce deeper metrics or export options to further enhance our analysis.
This development was first noticed by Mike Ryan from Smarter Ecommerce. He’s also published a helpful guide on using Google’s Channel Performance reports. His insights have been invaluable!
Conclusion: With MCC-level Channel Performance, Google is moving closer to demystifying Performance Max, particularly for agencies requiring extensive cross-account insights. It’s a welcome change for many of us strategizing at scale.
