Create a Performance Max Campaign Budget

A Performance Max campaign requires a budget like all other campaigns, but with the following restrictions:

The budget must have a DAILY budget period.
The budget cannot be shared .

Try an average daily budget of at least three times your CPA or cost per conversion for the conversion actions selected for your campaign. Generally, the budget should be consistent with other well-performing campaigns in your account. Learn more about choosing budget.

If a budget is too low relative to the CPA or cost per conversion, you might see a slower ramp-up period or fewer conversions over several days.
