What manual input will you need to provide when setting up a Performance Max for store goals campaign?

The correct option is ad creatives because, while Performance Max is a highly automated campaign type that uses machine learning to determine "bids," "ad placements," and the best "creative combinations," it still requires the advertiser to provide the foundational building blocks—such as headlines, descriptions, images, and videos—to function. These manual inputs represent the brand's unique messaging and visual identity, which the AI then dynamically tests and assembles into various formats across Google’s channels like Search, Maps, YouTube, and Display to drive physical foot traffic. By supplying high-quality, diverse ad creatives, you enable the algorithm to effectively reach local shoppers with the most relevant content for their specific context.
