Here's the reply @BillKVMotorCo
We can't see where PMAX ads are being shown. This is one of many reasons why we distrust it/dislike it. The reporting and placement control is very limited.

Interesting. That's a reasonable frustration, but I'm not sure it's a good reason to "dislike" them. What say you, @Greg_Gifford?

ahhh yes, not necessarily 'dislike', but definitely 'distrust'. I'm a firm believer in if there's nothing to hide, then hide nothing!

Can't argue with that!
✨ AI Highlights
Dealer Drew Ament warns against Google's "Search Partners" network, arguing it generates low-quality, non-converting traffic through arbitrage schemes and poorly vetted partner sites that exploit the program. Respondents confirm the issue is widespread across major markets and note that Google Analytics doesn't adequately surface partner-specific data, making it difficult for dealers to identify wasted spend. The thread concludes that dealers need better visibility and control over search partner spending, and must focus on conversion quality rather than click volume—a responsibility that both Google and ad vendors have largely shirked.
