Tadka for Google Performance Max
Tadka feeds Google Performance Max the asset-group variety it needs to perform. From one brief, Tadka generates hundreds of on-brand, audience-tuned image creatives across a style matrix, so every PMax asset group ships with multiple distinct visual concepts instead of one or two. Then it learns which images convert. Tadka is image-only today (no video), so it covers your image and logo assets, not video.
Why Performance Max needs creative variety
PMax doesn't let you pick placements or audiences by hand. Google's AI mixes and matches your assets across Search, Display, YouTube, Discover, Gmail, and Maps, then optimizes the combinations that work. That machine is only as good as the asset variety you feed it. Thin asset groups (one or two images) give the algorithm almost nothing to test, so it stalls on a single tired combination.
The bottleneck is creative supply. Advantage+ on Meta and PMax on Google are *starved for variety*. Tadka exists to be that supply: one brief becomes hundreds of distinct, on-brand images you can route into asset groups.
How Tadka fits PMax asset groups
- One brief, a full style matrix. Describe the product, offer, and brand once. Tadka outputs many image creatives across angles, layouts, color treatments, and audience cuts.
- Fill every image slot. PMax asset groups accept up to 20 images (landscape, square, portrait) plus logos. Tadka helps you fill all of them with genuinely different concepts, not crops of the same shot.
- One asset group per audience theme. Spin up multiple asset groups around different search themes or audience signals, each with its own creative set tuned to that intent.
- Performance feedback loop. On the Growth plan, Tadka learns which creatives convert and steers the next batch toward winning styles.
What Tadka does and does not cover (be clear on this)
Tadka is image-only today. That means:
- Covered: marketing images and product imagery for PMax image and logo assets across landscape (1.91:1), square (1:1), and portrait (4:5) formats.
- Not covered: video assets. If you leave video slots empty, PMax may auto-generate a basic video from your assets, but Tadka does not produce video creatives yet.
- You still write headlines, long headlines, and descriptions, plus set your final URL and audience signals in Google Ads.
We'd rather be straight with you: Tadka solves the *image* supply problem for PMax, which is where most advertisers are thinnest.
Recommended creative volume per asset group
More distinct images give Google's optimizer more to test. A practical starting point:
| Account stage | Asset groups | Distinct images each | Refresh cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| New / single product | 1-2 | 8-12 | Every 2-3 weeks |
| Scaling DTC brand | 3-5 | 12-20 | Weekly |
| Agency / multi-SKU | 6+ | 15-20 | Weekly+ |
These are images per asset group, not per account. The goal is *variety the algorithm can choose from*, then prune what underperforms.
A simple workflow
- Write one brief in Tadka: product, offer, brand colors, audience.
- Generate a matrix of image creatives across styles and formats.
- Load asset groups in Google Ads, one per audience or search theme, filling all image and logo slots.

- Regenerate the next batch biased toward winners (Growth plan performance feedback).

FAQ
Does Tadka create video assets for Performance Max?
No. Tadka is image-only today. It generates image and logo assets for PMax across landscape, square, and portrait formats, but it does not produce video creatives. You'd source video elsewhere, or rely on PMax's auto-generated video from your assets.
How many images should each PMax asset group have?
Aim to fill the asset group's image slots with distinct concepts, not crops of one photo. PMax allows up to 20 images. A practical start is 8-12 distinct images for a new account and 12-20 for a scaling brand, refreshed weekly to every few weeks.
How does Tadka help PMax perform better?
PMax optimizes by testing combinations of your assets, so it needs creative variety to work. Tadka turns one brief into hundreds of on-brand image creatives across a style matrix, giving the algorithm far more to test, then learns which images convert and biases the next batch toward winners.

Yes. The Starter plan is $0/month for up to 50 creatives, enough to populate one or two asset groups and test the workflow. Growth is $49/month for up to 2,000 creatives plus performance feedback, and Scale is custom pricing for agencies.
