Curious to know the optimal way to allocate your Google Ads budget? Fospha’s latest analysis of top performers reveals key insights into balancing Performance Max (PMAX) and Paid Search:

🥇 How Top-Performers Do It: For the highest-performing 25% of brands, a strategic allocation of around 55% of total Google budget to Performance Max and 12% to Paid Search appears to be the sweet spot for driving results.

🏢 Size Matters: Note, this optimal allocation does vary slightly between different brand sizes. Top-performing small brands were found to have a 52% PMAX / 15% Paid Search split, while top-performing large brands allocated more to PMAX, with a 59% PMAX / 9% Paid Search split.

Why? With extensive product catalogs and diverse customer segments, large brands can leverage PMAX's AI-driven optimization, while smaller brands benefit from the precision targeting of Paid Search to capture high-intent traffic while still leveraging PMAX for efficiency

Unlock the full potential of your Google Ads budget! Fospha’s new Performance Max and Paid Search Playbook is your guide to cultivating cross-channel synergies, reducing wasted ad spend, and maximizing blended performance.

TARIFF IMPACT

U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports have doubled production costs for Busy Baby, a company renowned for its popular silicone baby mats, severely impacting its relationship with major retailers like Walmart and Target. This unexpected disruption challenges co-owner Beth Benike, who, despite being recently named Minnesota’s Small Business Person of the Year, now faces the urgent necessity to pivot towards international markets due to prohibitive domestic manufacturing limitations. This scenario underscores the critical need for marketers to anticipate and adapt to geopolitical influences affecting supply chains and cost structures.
