Beyond The Standard – Your Technology Partner for Advanced Advertising

Go beyond standard services and build a competitive advantage. Our AdTech consultants partner with data engineers and solution architects to develop advanced solutions for PMax. Here are a few examples:

GenAI Creatives

Generative AI scales creative asset production by generating headlines, descriptions, images, and video drafts tailored to individual products or collections. Teams input product details or brand parameters and receive ready-to-use creatives consistent with Performance Max ad formats and brand guidelines. This capability supports rapid A/B testing, personalization at scale, and creative experimentation – helping marketing teams meet the increasing demand for relevant, engaging ads without overburdening design resources.

Consent Mode Configuration

The configuration of Consent Mode is carried out in conjunction with platforms such as Usercentrics or OneTrust to ensure strict adherence to data protection regulations. All tracking, audience creation, and data activation processes are gated by user consent, guaranteeing that only permitted data is collected and processed. Beyond the initial setup, the implementation is validated for both legal compliance and technical reliability, including correct tag behavior, data flow monitoring, and fallback mechanisms.

Dashboard Concepts & Design

Dashboard development begins with clearly defined KPIs and metrics, ensuring that all visualizations are aligned with overarching business goals and the multi-channel structure of Performance Max campaigns. The design process emphasizes clarity, transparency, and actionable insight, making it easier to evaluate performance across assets, audiences, and channels. Campaign data is transformed into structured narratives and compelling visual formats, allowing stakeholders to move beyond raw numbers.

Cloud Infrastructure

Digitl designs cloud infrastructures that centralize behavioral data from Google Analytics (GA) and enrich it with backend sources such as CRM or server-side data to support identity resolution and advanced segmentation. These segments are made available to Google Ads via Customer Match or first-party audience syncing and can inform Performance Max (PMax) asset group targeting.

Technical Infrastructure

Design and deployment of cloud-based infrastructure (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure) to support high-reliability automation of workflows used in Performance Max (PMax) campaigns. This includes secure integration with analytics platforms, CRM systems, and internal business data sources to ensure a consistent flow of audience and conversion signals into Google Ads.

Statistical Method

Statistical approaches such as regression analysis, time series modeling, and causal inference are used to quantify the impact of marketing activities across channels, including Performance Max. These methods help isolate true performance drivers and deliver a clearer picture of what contributes to measurable outcomes.

Custom Channel Grouping

Using custom definitions in Google Analytics (GA) or BigQuery, campaigns can be grouped by brand vs. non-brand, funnel stage, or product category. This enables more accurate attribution modeling for PMax by distinguishing its role in different parts of the conversion path.

Maximizing ROI

Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) helps quantify the true impact of Performance Max (PMax) within the broader channel mix. By identifying how PMax contributes to conversions and revenue alongside other media, businesses can optimize budget allocation and drive ROI more strategically.

Data Collection

Relevant marketing data is collected through API integrations and stored in cloud-based environments (e.g., BigQuery). Data can be centralized in a Customer Data Platform or a custom marketing data hub, enabling structured and scalable audience workflows for Performance Max.

Setup Firebase / GA

Firebase and Google Analytics (GA) are configured to track in-app events and user properties. Setup includes defining conversion events, mapping them to account structure, and ensuring accurate value tracking for integration with Google Ads. Firebase serves as the primary event source for app-focused Performance Max campaigns. Post-implementation validation of Firebase and GA event data to ensure signal completeness and consistency.

Offline Conversion Upload

Offline Conversion Upload (OCU) allows advertisers to attribute conversions that happen outside digital channels – such as in-store purchases or sales-qualified leads – back into PMax campaigns. By matching offline actions to ad interactions using GCLID or Enhanced Conversions, Digitl helps close the loop across the full journey. This improves bidding efficiency by incorporating high-value outcomes that are otherwise invisible to the algorithm.

Data Integration Audit

Digitl performs a structured assessment of existing and missing data flows between Google Ads and other Google or third-party platforms such as CRMs, analytics platforms, or customer data environments – to make sure that key signals (e.g. conversions, audience lists) are properly ingested and activated for the purpose of activation with Performance Max and other campaign types on Google Ads.

Increase Efficiency for Performance Max campaigns with AI

Artificial intelligence enables more efficient workflows across digital platforms. By analyzing platform data and transforming signals into actionable insights, AI supports improved processes in areas such as media planning, campaign optimization, and creative content generation.
