Sound familiar?

Sales are coming in. Is the account making you money?

Google says ROAS is great, but the margin isn't there.

The account is judged on Google's numbers, not your profit. Spend goes to products that don't make money.

Half our products never get shown.

Feed errors, thin titles and missing attributes. Your best sellers sit out of Shopping results.

Performance Max is a black box.

Budget goes in, sales come out, and nobody can say why. You can't tell what's working or what to change.

Big sale periods catch us out.

Feeds, budgets and promotions set up too late. You miss the busiest weeks of the year.

FAQ

Questions about Google Ads for ecommerce

Which store platforms do you work with?

Shopify, WooCommerce and other store platforms, as long as orders can be tracked back to Google Ads.

Do you look after the product feed?

Yes. As part of management we keep Merchant Center healthy and fix feed errors. For a bigger rewrite of titles and attributes, there's Product Feed Optimisation.

Shopping or Performance Max?

It depends on your range, margins and data. Many stores run both. We set up what fits and explain why.

Do you only manage Google Ads?

No. Google Ads comes first, and we also run Microsoft, Meta, Reddit and ChatGPT ads. We don't do social media management, link building or PR.

Who works on my account?

Two people, always. A lead runs the account week to week, and a second specialist reviews the work and knows the account just as well. Nothing depends on one person being available.

Who owns the account?

You do. The account, the data and the tracking stay yours, whether we work together for a month or for years.

What's the minimum ad spend?

About $2k a month. Below that there usually isn't enough data for the account to learn from, especially if it's new.

Can we start with an audit?

Yes. The Google Ads Audit is delivered in 1 to 2 business days. If you then go ahead with management, 25% of the audit fee comes off your management fees.
