Store-path review
Review product-page clarity, cart friction, checkout completion, traffic intent, bidding, and measurement before scaling paid spend.
05
Conversion tracking dedup
GA4 enhanced ecommerce + Google Ads conversion + store-side orders reconciled monthly. Variance flagged.
06
Owner tracking cadence
Monthly review with operator on the call. Bank-vs-platform variance documented. Pause/ramp decisions tied to margin.

Questions before contact
Common questions.
Who is Google Ads for Ecommerce for?
It is for ecommerce brands that need paid search and Shopping traffic connected to purchases. If there is no live offer, page, campaign, store, or decision yet, start with the request path so the path can be scoped correctly.
What do we get?
You get search and shopping, product pages, checkout path, purchase tracking, plus the next step that should happen first.
How much does it cost?
From $3,000/month is the visible starting point or pricing band for this service. Variable work is priced after the asset, account, timeline, and owner involvement are clear.
How fast can this start?
Managed monthly. Response comes through the intake path after the context is submitted.
Do we need a call first?
Not as the first move. Submit the situation first so the conversation starts with the real page, campaign, store, or decision instead of a blank sales call.
What if we already have an agency or internal team?
That is common. The work can map the current setup, direct the internal team, or define what the outside vendor should fix first.
Shopify only or other platforms?
Shopify is the most common, but WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, and custom stacks are all covered. The Operating Model adapts to the platform.
Do you do the feed work or just the campaign management?
Both can be scoped. Review merchant data, diagnostics, campaigns, attribution, and collected outcomes; cadence depends on catalog and account risk.
Minimum spend?
Around $15K monthly Google Ads spend for reliable Smart Bidding on Shopping/PMax. Below that, the work shifts to Search-only or guides to /services/google-ads-ppc-management for a scoped account review before management starts.
What if my store has a CR problem?
The engagement includes the store-path review. If the PDP, cart, or checkout is the failure point, the review names it and guides to /services/shopify-cro or /services/shopify-conversion-build as separate engagements.
Cross-platform with Meta/TikTok/Pinterest?
Google is the core here. Multi-platform guides to /services/shopify-marketing-ppc which covers the full paid stack for Shopify ecommerce.
