eCommerce PPC That Pays for Itself, Then Some

Shopping, Performance Max, Search, Demand Gen, and retargeting run from the product feed up, by the agency that also builds the store. We manage to profit, not to clicks: every campaign is tied to margin, every product to its feed, and every dollar to an order you can see in your own analytics.

What we manage

eCommerce PPC Services

Everything an online store needs to buy traffic profitably across Google, Microsoft, YouTube, and the social and marketplace channels that convert for it. Each service is run by a certified specialist with access to a Google Premier Partner team.

  • Google Shopping & Performance Max

    The channel that moves most eCommerce revenue: Standard Shopping for control over branded and high-margin products, Performance Max with brand exclusions for prospecting, and asset groups built per category. Shopping clicks cost roughly half of Search clicks and convert on intent you can see in the ad.

  • Product Feed & Merchant Center

    Titles, GTINs, categories, attributes, images, pricing, shipping, and return policies optimized and kept in sync, with diagnostics watched daily; feed quality is the single biggest driver of Shopping and Performance Max results. Works with native feeds or Feedonomics.

  • Google & Microsoft Search Ads

    Intent-matched search campaigns for category, brand, and competitor terms, with AI Max and broad match used where the data supports it and exact match where it does not, plus Microsoft Ads for the shoppers Google misses.

  • Retargeting & Dynamic Remarketing

    Dynamic product ads that follow cart and browse abandoners across Google, YouTube, Meta, and the display network, sequenced by intent and capped so they help rather than haunt.

  • Demand Gen, YouTube & Discovery

    Video and visual campaigns across YouTube, Discover, and Gmail that introduce products to lookalike and in-market audiences, measured on new-customer revenue rather than views.

  • Meta, Instagram & TikTok Shopping Ads

    Catalog-driven social campaigns for prospecting and retargeting, with creative tested on the same product data as your Google feed. Run alongside organic social and email so paid reach is caught and kept.

  • Landing Pages & Conversion Optimization

    Paid traffic lands on pages built to convert: fast, mobile-first category and product templates, tested offers, and the UX work that lifts conversion rate, which lifts every campaign at once. Built by our developers, not a page builder.

  • Tracking, Attribution & Reporting

    GA4, enhanced and server-side conversions, consent-mode setup, Merchant Center and platform order data reconciled so reported ROAS matches real revenue. One monthly report: spend, revenue, new customers, margin-adjusted return, and what changed.

  • Amazon & Marketplace Advertising

    Sponsored Products and Brands for stores that also sell on Amazon, coordinated with the website campaigns so the two channels do not bid against each other.

How the profitable accounts are run

What Separates a Profitable eCommerce Account From an Expensive One

Across the 2026 benchmarks, the average eCommerce Google Ads account returns about four dollars per dollar spent, but the spread is enormous: some stores run at seven and eight, many run below break-even without knowing it, because they measure ROAS without margin. Click prices have risen 20 to 26 percent in three years, so the margin for sloppy accounts has gone. These are the practices that keep ours on the right side.

  • Margin-Based Targets

    Break-even ROAS is one divided by gross margin: a 40% margin store breaks even at 2.5×. We set targets per category from your margins, not from a platform default.

  • Feed Before Bids

    Most Shopping and Performance Max underperformance is a feed problem: weak titles, missing attributes, disapprovals. We fix the feed first; bidding changes come second.

  • Structure That Protects Brand

    Brand searches kept in their own campaigns with Performance Max brand exclusions, so prospecting spend is measured on new customers rather than people who were coming anyway.

  • Automation With Guardrails

    Smart bidding and AI Max where the conversion volume supports them, with budgets, negatives, and placement exclusions managed by a person who reads the search terms every week.

  • Landing Pages That Convert

    A one-point rise in conversion rate lowers cost per order on every campaign at once; we check speed and test pages as part of the program, not as a separate upsell.

  • Measurement You Can Audit

    Enhanced and server-side conversions, consent mode, and order-level reconciliation, so reported revenue matches your platform and the report is one you could hand an accountant.

Every account, every month

Our eCommerce PPC Management Standards

Whatever the budget, these are done every month on every account we manage:

  • A written strategy with margin-based ROAS and new-customer targets per category, agreed before spend starts
  • Product feed diagnostics reviewed daily, disapprovals fixed within one business day
  • Search term and placement reviews weekly, negatives and exclusions added, wasted spend reported
  • Brand, non-brand, and prospecting measured separately, with Performance Max brand exclusions in place
  • Budget pacing and seasonality planned ahead of promotions, holidays, and launches
  • Creative and offer tests running at all times, with winners rolled into the account
  • Conversion tracking audited monthly against platform orders; discrepancies explained, not ignored
  • Your account, your data: campaigns live in your Google Ads and Merchant Center with full access, and you keep everything if we part ways
  • A named manager who answers the phone, and a monthly report that leads with revenue and margin, not clicks

Channels and Platforms We Run

Campaigns are built from your catalog, so they work the same on every platform we develop for; see all digital marketing services.

How We Take Over or Launch an Account

Whether we take over an account or launch one, the order is the same: measure first, fix the foundation, then rebuild and scale, so every budget decision after the first month is made on numbers you can audit.

  • Audit

    A free review of your account, feed, tracking, and landing pages: where spend is wasted, where tracking is wrong, and what the first ninety days should earn.

  • Fix the Foundation

    Conversion tracking, consent mode, Merchant Center health, and feed quality corrected before budgets move, so every decision after this is made on true numbers.

  • Rebuild the Structure

    Campaigns organized by margin and intent: brand protected, Shopping and Performance Max split by category, Search on the terms that pay, retargeting sequenced.

  • Launch and Learn

    Budgets ramped against targets, with weekly search-term, placement, and creative work and a first full report at thirty days.

  • Scale What Works

    Winning categories, audiences, and creative get more budget; new channels (Demand Gen, Microsoft, paid social) are added when the core is profitable.

  • Compound With the Store

    Landing page tests, SEO on the terms that are expensive to buy, and email that turns first orders into repeat orders, so paid acquisition cost keeps falling.

eCommerce PPC Questions, Answered

Benchmarks, Shopping versus Performance Max, budgets, pricing, and what to expect.

What is a good ROAS for eCommerce Google Ads?

Across 2026 benchmarks the average eCommerce account returns about 4× blended: roughly 3.4× on Search, 5× on Shopping, and 4.8× on Performance Max. A good ROAS for your store depends on margin: break-even is one divided by gross margin, so a store at 40% margin breaks even at 2.5× and should target well above it. We set the target per category from your margins before spend starts.

Should we run Standard Shopping or Performance Max?

Usually both. Performance Max now carries about 62% of Shopping-eligible spend and reaches more placements, and in most datasets it returns within a few percent of well-run Standard Shopping. We run Standard Shopping for brand and high-margin products where control matters and Performance Max with brand exclusions for prospecting, then move budget to whichever earns more new-customer revenue.

How much do eCommerce PPC clicks cost?

In 2026 eCommerce Shopping clicks average about $0.66 to $0.68 and Search clicks about $1.42, with cost per order in the $43 to $51 range across campaign types. Prices have risen 20 to 26 percent in three years, which is why feed quality, structure, and landing pages now decide profitability more than bids do.

What budget do we need to start?

Enough for the campaigns to learn: in practice from about $3,000 a month in media for a focused Shopping and Search program, scaling as categories prove profitable. Below that we recommend a narrower start (your best-margin categories only) rather than spreading thin. Our management fee is quoted separately and does not scale with spend in a way that rewards us for spending more.

How do you charge for PPC management?

A flat monthly fee based on the scope (channels, catalog size, number of markets), agreed in writing after the audit, with no setup fee, no long contract, and no markup on media. Your campaigns live in your own accounts. See our digital marketing services for how PPC fits with SEO, email, and social programs.

How soon will we see results?

Tracking and feed fixes show within the first two weeks; restructured campaigns stabilize over four to six weeks as smart bidding learns; the first full read on profitability comes at thirty days and the first scaling decisions at sixty to ninety. Accounts we take over usually show wasted spend removed in the first month.

Can you take over an account another agency built?

Yes, and most of our accounts came that way. We audit first, keep what works, fix tracking and feeds, and restructure what does not, without pausing profitable campaigns. You keep full ownership and history throughout.

Does PPC still make sense with AI Overviews and AI shopping?

More than before. Google is placing Shopping and Search ads inside AI Overviews and AI Mode, and the product feed that powers your ads is the same data AI shopping assistants read. Clean feeds and structured product data now serve paid, organic, and AI surfaces at once, which is why we run PPC alongside SEO for AI search.

Do you work with our platform?

Yes. We build and run stores on BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and Volusion, so feeds, tracking, and landing pages are set up natively on each, and our developers can change the store when a campaign needs it. See BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and WooCommerce.

What is the difference between this page and your PPC marketing page?

Our PPC marketing page covers paid search for every kind of business, including lead generation. This page is specifically about online stores: Shopping and Performance Max, product feeds, catalog-driven retargeting, and ROAS measured against margin.
