If you’re getting sick of the Google Performance Max discussion, get over it. Performance Max is the future of all things traffic.
On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam walk us through the three big things they’ve learned from Google Performance Max in the past few months. At this early point in history, most people are not yet running PM. If you are, you’re in a great spot as a pioneer and influencer. It’s tempting to hold all this knowledge close to the vest, the guys say, so they can enjoy the fruits of their labor before the whole world catches on, but they can’t help but share. They (and their clients) are already spending thousands (even millions) of dollars on this platform. It truly changes everything we’ve ever known about traffic. The Golden Rule of Performance Max, Kasim says, is that there are no Golden Rules. Every client, every implementation is so different—and so customizable in the ways that matter. They’re literally learning something new every day.
Listen in to find out what Google Performance Max can do for your business or agency.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- 3 major events in online advertising and marketing that changed the entire game
- Why you need to stop thinking of Google as a placement platform
- What you need to know about user-generated content and massive media creation
- Why Kasim believes the click-to-conversion paradigm is dead

How Google Outsmarted Facebook and What it Means for Marketers
So, how did Facebook end up taking all the heat for this privacy stuff, while Google sat back quietly and dodged the bullets?
On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam talk about the absolute brilliance of Google. For one thing, they don’t have a “face of the company,” so while everyone is out here hating Mark Zuckerberg and turning him into a meme, Google (whoever “Google” is) is more than happy to let him be the villain. Google watched Facebook take the heat for all the iOS 14 privacy updates madness. Then, when everyone was so fatigued that they didn’t even care anymore, Google rolled out Performance Max, the craziest, most invasive, most heavily-targeted tool in the history of the world. It’s literally going to change everything.
Listen in for tips on staying on top of what’s new with Google Performance Max and what it means for your business.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- Why the 30-day attribution window/click to purchase paradigm is obsolete
- What multi-touchpoint engagement means in practical terms
- The biggest mistake marketers are making right now with Performance Max
- 2 new Performance Max features that just rolled out this week
