Performance Max runs across Search, Display, YouTube, Gmail and more with little visibility into where your ads actually appear. Didva monitors the quality of the traffic PMax sends to your site and protects the conversion signals its automation depends on, so the algorithm optimizes toward real prospects.

The problem

PMax is a black box: you can't see most placements, and low-quality networks can deliver bot and invalid traffic you'd never approve manually. Because PMax optimizes entirely on your conversions, any fake conversions that get in steer budget toward more of the same, at scale and out of sight.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does invalid traffic affect Performance Max?

PMax optimizes entirely on your conversions. If bot or fake conversions get in, the automation sends more budget toward similar low-quality traffic, at scale and across hidden placements.

Can I see PMax placements with Didva?

PMax limits placement visibility, but Didva measures the quality of the traffic that reaches your site and protects your conversion signals, regardless of where the click came from.

Does Didva block PMax traffic?

PMax offers limited manual exclusions, so Didva focuses on detecting low-quality traffic and keeping fake conversions out of the signals automation learns from.

Why is conversion quality so important for PMax?

Because PMax relies on your conversions to steer the entire campaign, protecting those signals is the most effective way to keep it optimizing toward real users.

Does this work with lead-gen and ecommerce PMax?

Yes. Didva protects conversion signals for both lead and sales PMax campaigns by scoring traffic and conversion quality.
