Data: PMax performance stable, but Search CPCs increasing – Search Engine Land

The latest performance data for Google Ads campaigns running Performance Max (PMax) in Q3 2023 vs. Q3 2024 paints a mixed picture, according to an Optmyzr study. While advertisers saw modest year-over-year gains in return on ad spend (ROAS) and conversion rates, rising costs cut into those improvements.

The key metrics.

  • ROAS: Up 1% YoY, from 609.77% in Q3 2023 to 616.36% in Q3 2024
  • CPA: Up 8% YoY, from $13.92 in Q3 2023 to $15.15 in Q3 2024
  • CPC: Up 6% YoY, from $0.50 in Q3 2023 to $0.53 in Q3 2024
  • Conversion Rate: Down 3% YoY, from 3.56% in Q3 2023 to 3.47% in Q3 2024

The data suggests PMax is delivering modest ROAS improvements, but rising CPAs and CPCs are eating into those gains. Conversion rates also slipped year-over-year.

When breaking down the data by campaign type, a more nuanced picture emerges.

Search campaigns:

  • ROAS up 2% YoY
  • CPA down 3% YoY
  • CPC up 22% YoY
  • Conversion rate up 21% YoY

Shopping campaigns with PMax:

  • ROAS up 4% YoY
  • CPA down 15% YoY
  • CPC down 10% YoY
