Share Of Model insights are now linked directly to Google Ads Performance Max (PMax) campaigns. Built in collaboration with Google’s R&D teams, this is the first opportunity to harness LLM brand-perception data to optimise paid-media performance at scale.

What is Performance Max?

PMax is Google’s most automated, AI-driven campaign type. It reaches audiences across Google’s ecosystem — Search, YouTube, Display, Discover, Gmail — from a single campaign. Google’s AI handles bidding, targeting and ad creation; advertisers focus on providing high-quality creative assets.

Core components

  • Asset groups — the creative foundation: images, headlines, videos, logos. Each group reflects a product, audience, or creative theme.
  • Search themes — intent-driven signals that help Google match ads to high-intent users. They act as “intent prompts” rather than traditional keywords.

Prerequisites

  • An existing analysis on the Share Of Model platform.
  • Org Owner or Org Editor access on Share Of Model.
  • Google Ads accounts with Standard access added to your workspace.
  • Active PMax campaigns and available asset groups.

How it works

1

Perception insight

AI analysis detects brand traits that set you apart from competitors.
2

Google Ads audit

Existing PMax campaigns are reviewed for semantic consistency and coverage.
3

Messaging gap detection

Surface where current messaging misses the mark on key user intents.
4

Search Themes injection

Using Keyword Planner and AI filters, the most impactful Search Themes are added directly to your campaigns.
5

Brand policy enforcement

Recommendations follow your account-level brand policy.

What makes it effective

  • Semantic concepts — Search Themes reflect live user intent, not generic keywords.
  • AI validation — embedding-based deduplication and relevance filtering.
  • Strategic value — every theme is chosen for both demand and performance potential.

Added value

  • Enhanced signals — clearer intent alignment and more resonant queries.
  • Creative alignment — cohesive experience from ad to landing page.
  • Visibility & traffic uplift — ads speak the language of your customers, lifting CTR and conversions.
  • Faster optimisation — better targeting and richer data accelerate the learning curve.
  • Direct push to Google Ads — apply recommendations or export for later.

Intent-based optimisation — Promotion Type Selector

Three-axis intent control lets you set guardrails at the asset-group level to keep PMax aligned with business goals.
Focus — direct sales and high-conversion actions.Strategy — locks the model onto transactional keywords, ensuring budget is spent on users ready to purchase rather than information seekers.
Align bidding with intent — spend aggressively on Product for immediate ROI, while using Brand to capture high-volume, cost-effective awareness.

Enhanced control & visibility

Search Themes pivot tables

Move beyond siloed management with a holistic view of your keyword strategy.
  • Dual perspective — toggle between a Search Themes view (which groups a theme impacts) and an Asset Groups view (thematic coverage per group).
  • Smart harmonisation — instantly spot if the same theme is used across too many groups (avoid internal competition).
  • Bulk management — keep, add or remove themes across the inventory from one interface.
  • Inventory tracking — monitor Search Theme volume in real time (e.g. 3/50) to stay within Google’s limits.

Native Google Ads data integration

Assess campaign health without switching platforms.
  • Ad strength visualisation — Poor / Average / Good scores identify assets that need a refresh.
  • Live status flags — manage Enabled / Paused statuses and campaign names within the optimisation workflow.

Relevance scores & predictive metrics

Every Search Theme suggestion includes algorithmic justification.
  • Relevancy score — Strong / Average / Weak indicator based on historical performance and Asset Group semantics.
  • Logic summaries — a “Why” block per recommendation, explaining the optimisation logic.
  • Incremental learning — the system prioritises thematic patterns that historically drive the highest performance for your account.
