If you're testing out Performance Max campaigns, the whole setup process might be peculiar for you. Though Performance Max might seem like a black box right now, they are actually designed to bring as many conversions to advertisers as possible. As they are AI-powered, Performance Max campaigns thrive on data in the form of "Audience Signals".
An Audience Signal is an audience targeting that you can set up on Performance Max campaigns based on a variety of data, including custom segments (keywords, websites, apps), interests, demographics, and your own data. If you're running Performance Max campaigns, one of the optimizations you can do is by expanding your Audience Signal to include competitors' websites and relevant mobile apps. This easy, step-by-step (with screenshots!) guide will show you how to target visitors of competitive websites & mobile apps in Performance Max campaigns!
