Omesta vs Google Performance Max
Performance Max (PMax) is a Google Ads campaign type that uses Google's AI to run one campaign across Search, YouTube, Display, Discover, Gmail and Maps. Omesta doesn't replace it. Omesta connects to your Google Ads account alongside Meta and TikTok, reviews results every day and recommends changes you approve before they run, unless you've turned on Autopilot for that action.
The work

A goal-based campaign type, included in Google Ads, that reaches all Google Ads inventory from one campaign. It's available for Sales, Leads, Website traffic and Local store visits and promotions objectives.

The week
Fit
The short version: PMax is Google's automation for Google. Omesta is a daily check across all your ad accounts. If PMax works for you, keep it, and let Omesta review it alongside your Meta and TikTok results so you can compare cost per lead in one place.
Questions
No. Google's Smart Bidding runs the auction. Omesta reviews results and recommends supported changes around it, such as budget or status changes, which you approve, unless you've turned on Autopilot for that action.
No. Omesta supports Google Ads campaigns, Meta and TikTok, but not Google Local Services Ads or call tracking.
It can be, especially with reliable conversion tracking and enough budget for the learning period. Because PMax optimizes toward the conversions you choose, make sure those conversions are real leads, not just page visits. Results vary, so start with one clear goal.
No. Omesta works with your connected ad accounts whatever campaign types you use. Many local businesses start with Meta.
If you turn on text customization or Final URL expansion, Google can write headlines from your site or send people to a different page. Google says you're responsible for reviewing what those assets say.
Supported actions include pausing or resuming campaigns, changing budgets, schedules and locations, and managing negative keywords. See the integration data disclosure.
Starter $349, Growth $799, Scale $1,499 and Enterprise custom, based on your monthly ad spend. Ad spend is paid separately to Google, Meta or TikTok. See pricing.
