Ecommerce PPC Specialists

Paid ads that actually sell product

Most agencies treat ecommerce PPC like lead-gen with a checkout. It is not. We run Google Shopping, Performance Max, Meta Advantage+, and TikTok ads for online stores with margin-aware ROAS targets, clean product feeds, and real conversion tracking that survives iOS limits.

Why PPC for Ecommerce

Spend less, sell more, know what worked

Most ecommerce accounts have the same four problems wrecking ROAS. We rebuild around margin, feed quality, and tracking that survives iOS limits.

What We See in Most Audits

Blended ROAS Looks Fine, Profit Does Not

In-platform ROAS hits target while your bank account drains. The mix is hiding unprofitable SKUs and double-counted branded sales.

Performance Max Black Box

PMax burned through budget on whatever it felt like and you have no visibility into which products, audiences, or placements drove the spend.

Broken iOS Tracking

Meta pixel still firing but conversions look 40% lower than reality. No CAPI, no server-side events, no modeled conversions. Bidding flies blind.

Feed Built by the Shopify App

Default product feed pushed straight to Merchant Center. Generic titles, missing GTINs, no custom labels for margin or inventory. Shopping campaigns starve for the wrong reasons.

The PPC Fix

Margin-Aware Paid Media

Custom labels tag every SKU by margin tier and inventory health. Separate ROAS targets per tier. Server-side tracking with CAPI so Meta and Google see the conversions iOS hides. The result is paid media that holds up when you look at contribution margin, not just platform ROAS.

Inventory-Aware Bidding

Low-stock SKUs get pulled out of asset groups before they sell out. Restocked items flow back in. Nobody pays for clicks on products that cannot ship.

Ecommerce PPC Explained

How paid media actually moves units

What is ecommerce PPC?

Paid advertising for online stores covers Google Shopping, Search, Performance Max, Meta Advantage+ Shopping, TikTok Shop ads, and Pinterest catalog campaigns. You only pay when someone clicks or interacts. Done well, you can read profit at the SKU level and scale the winners.

Shopping versus search

Shopping ads pull product images, prices, and titles straight from your feed. Search ads use written copy. Both have a place. Shopping captures buyers who know the product. Search captures buyers who know the problem but not the product yet. Most stores need both running side by side.

Why feed quality wins

The Merchant Center feed is the unlock for Shopping and Performance Max. Titles get rewritten with priority keywords up front. GTINs and brand attributes get filled in. Product type and Google category taxonomy get mapped correctly. A clean feed beats a clever bidding strategy almost every time.

Funnel beyond Google

Meta Advantage+ Shopping pushes catalog ads to broad audiences with machine learning doing the targeting. TikTok captures category-curious buyers in the scroll. Pinterest works for home, gift, wedding, and visual categories. Each channel has a job, and the funnel runs from cold awareness to retargeted cart abandoners.

Shopping + Search Visibility

This is what your products could look like on Google

Buyers searching with intent see your products in the Shopping carousel and your store in the top sponsored search result. Two formats, one buyer, two chances to win the click.

Shopping Carousel

Product image, price, rating, and merchant pulled live from your feed

Top Sponsored Result

Margin-Tier Bidding

Benefits of Ecommerce PPC

Why ecommerce operators invest in paid media

Paid media works when the math is right. Margin-aware bidding, clean feeds, and proper tracking change what is profitable to scale.

Sales Within Days

Branded search and remarketing usually pull revenue inside the first week. By week three to six, Performance Max and Meta Advantage+ finish learning and the real ROAS curve shows up.

7 daysTo first paid revenue

Margin-Aware ROAS Targets

Custom labels tag each SKU by margin tier. A 70% margin hero gets a 2.5x target. A 25% margin clearance SKU gets a 5x target. Same feed, different bidding logic, much better contribution margin.

SKU-levelProfit tracking

Tracking That Survives iOS

Server-side events through Meta CAPI and Google Enhanced Conversions. GA4 measurement protocol where the pixel falls short. Bidding gets real signal back instead of guessing.

CAPIServer-side tracking

Inventory-Aware Bidding

Out-of-stock SKUs get paused automatically before they drain budget. Low-stock items get pulled from PMax asset groups. Restocked products flow back in without manual touch.

0 clicksOn sold-out items

Controlled Spend

Daily and monthly caps you actually control. Scale up before peak seasons. Pull back when inventory tightens. Most stores in our paid media work run $3K to $100K monthly across Google and Meta.

DailySpend control

Retargeting That Works

Cart abandoners see the exact product with a free shipping nudge. Past purchasers see new arrivals or replenishment reminders. Most stores we work with pull 10 to 20% of revenue from retargeting alone.

Patient with algorithms, urgent with feed and tracking

Most accounts we audit have not given PMax or Advantage+ enough data to learn. The fix is rarely a new campaign type. It is fixing the feed and tracking so the algorithms can do the job they were built for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ecommerce PPC

Honest answers to the questions store owners ask before signing on.

First sales usually land within the first week, especially on branded search and remarketing. The real test is week 3 to 6. That's when Performance Max and Meta finish their learning phase and you can read true ROAS. If a store has solid product market fit and a clean feed, we typically have it printing profitably by month two.
