Google Ads for eCommerce
ROAS can lie if the tracking is dirty, the feed is weak or the campaigns optimise against the wrong signals.
That is why we run Google Ads with campaigns, Merchant Center, GA4, real orders, margins, returns and commercial quality all connected.

- Consent Mode, GA4 and Tag Manager.
Campaigns
- Standard Shopping.
- Performance Max.
- Brand and non-brand Search.

- Tests on strategic categories and products.
When not to raise the budget
- Purchase isn't tracked properly.
- Add-to-cart is being used as the main goal.
- The feed isn't segmented.
- ROAS is calculated without margin and returns.

FAQ
Do you run Performance Max?
Yes, but not as a single black box. First we check conversions, feed, segmentation, brand, margins and which products are worth pushing.
Can you start from an existing account?
Yes. The first phase is usually an audit: conversions, feed, campaigns, queries, budget, order value and data quality.
Do you only use Google Ads?
No. Google Ads works better when it is connected to SEO, the catalogue, tracking, the CRM and real commercial data.
