I’ve just discovered an incredibly beneficial update from Google Ads that I’m excited to share. Now, we can see precisely where our Performance Max campaigns are running through the “Where ads showed” report. This change opens up a new world of clarity and optimization possibilities that were previously inaccessible.
What’s New? This update allows me to see exactly where my PMax ads are appearing across Google’s network, including search partners, display, and other placements. By tracking impressions by placement type and network, I can now understand the detailed performance of my campaigns like never before.
Why It Matters to Me This is a game-changer for anyone managing PMax campaigns. It brings much-needed visibility into where ads are appearing, including Google Search Partners and beyond. With access to placement, type, and impression data, I can optimize budgets and make informed decisions rather than relying on guesswork. It transforms previously opaque reporting into actionable insights.
User Reaction Digital marketer Thomas Eccel shared his experience on LinkedIn, expressing that the report was once a blank page but now displays real data.
- “I finally see where and how PMax is being displayed,” he wrote, highlighting the significance of this update for clarity.
- He also noted how Google Search Partners are now no longer a “blurry grey zone.”
The Bottom Line For me, and many other marketers, this update offers actionable visibility into PMax campaigns, helping us understand placement performance, optimize spend, and pinpoint which networks are yielding results — all within one comprehensive report.
