The framework
The 6-Layer Ecommerce Google Ads Operating Model.
02
PMax + Shopping structure
Asset groups by margin tier and category. Brand exclusion at campaign level. Shopping campaigns isolated for non-brand CAC tracking.
03
Search campaign architecture
Branded Search separated from non-brand. Generic category Search managed against margin reality, not just ROAS.
04
Store-path review
PDP clarity, cart friction, checkout completion measured before paid scaling. Bad store-path means paid spend underperforms regardless of bid.
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.
Simple process
No maze. Three moves.

Stan Consulting maps the growth path and points the request to the right paid scope: service implementation, consulting, growth build, or marketing services.
Move on the build
You get the next step, owner decision, and implementation path without a vague exploratory call.
Why buyers trust the work
Clear scope before more spend.
Feed completeness (GTIN, MPN, image, attributes) is the largest single lever on Shopping campaign performance. Audited monthly.
Paid traffic that lands on a broken PDP or 80% cart abandonment cannot pay regardless of bid. The engagement includes a store-path review.
Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento. The framework adapts; the operating model stays consistent.
Questions before contact
What buyers usually need to know.
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. Feed audit monthly, plus Merchant Center optimisation, plus campaign management. Feed work is the largest non-bid lever; we cover it.
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 the free 5-day marketing system build 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.
