# Turn a Facebook campaign into Performance Max

### **Before you jump into it:**

In order to use the Idea box to turn your Facebook campaigns into Google Performance Max campaigns, you need to have previously connected your [Google Ads account in the Connect Platforms tab](https://aiads.tawk.help/article/how-to-connect-your-ad-accounts). We also recommend having launched at[least one Google Search campaign](https://aiads.tawk.help/article/how-to-run-google-ads)from your account before generating a Google Pmax one so as to make the most out of the optimizations.

 

 

### **1.  Access Your Facebook Campaign**

- Head over to the advertise tab and scroll down until you find the Facebook campaign that you want to convert:

### **2. Locate the Idea Box**

### **3. Initiate the Conversion**

- Clicking the Idea box will open the option to create a Google Performance Max campaign. Click on “Create”.

### **4. Review and Adjust**

- Your images, headlines and descriptions will be automatically generated from the base campaign that you’ve chosen. All you need to do is review the content.
- You can make any adjustments to targeting, creative, or other elements as needed.

### **5. Add your Logo & assets**

- The Logo is the only required feature that’s not automatically generated, so don’t forget to upload your business Logo.
- You can add other assets you might want to test as well.

### **6. Launch the Campaign**

- Adjust the budget and click on create! Your campaign is ready.

 

### **FAQs**

- ***Can I turn my old or paused Facebook campaigns into Pmax campaigns?*** Yes! If your campaigns were launched in AI Ads you’ll be able to transform them. Campaigns launched natively in Facebook Ads won't show in the dashboard.
- ***Do I need to have a Google Ads account to use this?*** Yes! Make sure you have a valid payment method.
- ***Is this a good first campaign to test how Google works?*** We always encourage you to test the different platforms as AB testing is key to understanding your audience and to perfect your marketing efforts.
