We focus on improving the ROI of your Google Shopping campaigns by using intelligent item ID bidding and thoughtful data analysis.
Google Shopping campaigns are the best way to your products in front of customers who are actively searching for them. It is the most effective and profitable form of e-commerce advertising, with clicks on Google Shopping ads increasing 170% year over year.
We need to understand your business before we can start structuring your campaigns. We’ll take the time understand your competitive landscape, your industry and your product catalog. We’ll focus on learning which of your products and categories are most important for you to promote, which ones generate the highest margins, what your break even return on ad spend is.
Google Shopping campaigns rely on a product feed submitted to Google Merchant Center before Google Ads can show any ads. It is integral that your product feed is properly formatted and optimised to ensure the long term success of your campaigns. We’ll take over the optimisation and management of your product feed, plugging your feed into third party partners of ours who specialise exclusively in optimising product feeds of any size and complexity.
While Google Ads provides a lot of data with regards to campaign performance, it is essential to understand how your website visitors are actually interacting with your website once they’ve clicked on a Shopping ad. We will make sure your analytics tracking is set up properly; so wecan enhance your Google Shopping campaigns using the data collected.Google Analytics also allows us to use Google Ads campaign data to create highly targeted remarketing audiences.
Without conversion tracking setup properly, there is no sure way to determine whether your Google Shopping campaign is profitable. Every optimisation would be simply a best guess. Conversion tracking can be difficult to configure, particularly with more complicated checkout systems. We have extensive experience installing conversion tracking code on custom sites and popular checkout integrations, as well as e-commerce sites with longer sales cycles. Whatever you sell, there’s a way to track revenue back to each ad click … and we won’t launch a single ad campaign before we know that we’re tracking revenue accurately.
Google Shopping ads don’t use keywords to target customers in the same way that paid search (text ads) do. Google uses the information in your product feed to determine which query to show an ad for. The product feed will contain essential attributes such as product name, description, image and price. It’s important to segment your feed in a way that allows you to bid the right price for each search query. We use precise product segmentation in your feed, allowing us to bid more aggressively on products that are likely to sell and bid less on lower value items that are less likely to convert at a higher lifetime customer value.
We use a mix of automated bidding strategies and product specific bidding. We’re always looking for better ways to drive high quality traffic for less cost. We won’t just stop when you start making a profit. We’ll test and test again, adjusting our bids to achieve the best value and return on ad spend we can. Ultimately, what we bid for each search determines whether or not we’ll get an ad impression, and how much we’ll pay for a click should our ad receive one.
Our team adds value to your campaigns month over month by optimising your Google Shopping campaigns on an ongoing basis. The data your campaigns generate is invaluable, and we use all of it to your advantage. Optimisations include product segmentation, product feed optimisation, restructuring campaigns, using priority settings to customise query-level bids and collaborating with you to find new ideas to increase the lifetime value of your customers.
Bid automation is constantly advancing. While automation is useful for refining your strategy, there’s nothing that replaces the thought and analysis real people bring to the real money you’re spending on digital ads every day.
You don’t want to hand over full control of your campaign to Google with an automated bidding strategy.
