PMAX NEGATIVE KEYWORDS — STOP THE BLEED

Your PMax Campaigns Are Bleeding Money
On Searches You Can't Even See.

Google hides the search terms triggering your Performance Max ads. Without negative keywords, you're paying for clicks from people who will never convert — DIY searches, job seekers, competitors' brand names, and completely irrelevant queries. Our platform identifies every wasteful search term and generates the negative keyword lists to stop the bleeding.

Google Designed PMax to Hide Your Search Terms.
We Reverse-Engineered a Way to See Them.

Performance Max only shows a fraction of the search terms triggering your ads — and only at the campaign level, never by asset group. Without visibility, you can't add negative keywords, which means your budget keeps flowing to irrelevant queries. We've audited 1,000s of Google Ads accounts over 25 years and $300M+ in managed ad spend. The average PMax account wastes 15-40% of its budget on searches that will never convert.

WHY MOST ADVERTISERS DON'T KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING

The PMax Black Box Is
By Design

Google limits search term visibility in Performance Max on purpose. Less visibility for you means less control, which means more of your budget flows to Google's broader network — including low-quality Display placements, YouTube pre-rolls on kids' videos, and app install inventory.

SearchAI uses proprietary inference models and script-based extraction to reconstruct the hidden search query data. Built by John Collins, a 25-year Google Ads veteran with $300M+ in managed ad spend who started in paid search in 2000.
