The patterns we see in your work.
Your conversion tracking is lying to you
Tracking fires on Add to Cart, not Purchase. Your reported ROAS is 3.2x; your actual ROAS is 0.8x. Every budget decision built on that number is wrong.
Merchant Center disapprovals keep killing your Shopping campaigns
Three Shopping launch attempts, listings blocked each time. The error messages are cryptic and the fix isn't obvious without a feed audit.
PMax at $10/day is a money bonfire
At $10/day, Google routes PMax spend to Display: 400 impressions, zero relevant clicks, zero sales. PMax requires a minimum daily spend threshold most tutorials skip entirely.
Free YouTube courses contradict each other
Broad match only. No, exact match. No, skip Search and go straight to PMax. Three courses watched and the strategy is still unclear.
The numbers in your market.
What operators are actually saying.
“I've watched every free YouTube video and I'm still confused about which campaign type to start with”
“Started a $10/day PMax 'test.' Got 400 Display impressions and zero sales. Everyone on YouTube made it sound so easy.”
“Spent $300 on PMax this month. Just checked placements report - 70% went to Display. I sell phone cases. What am I doing wrong?”
What changes when we run it together.
A solo Shopify dropshipper running $600-$1,200/mo ad spend
Tracking fired on Add to Cart - reported ROAS 3.2x, actual purchase ROAS 0.8x. Revenue sat at $1,800-$4,200/mo with no predictability.
Switched conversion tracking to Purchase only, paused PMax below the $50/day threshold, and rebuilt Shopping with buyer-intent feed titles.
Real ROAS became visible for the first time. Revenue stabilized at $5K+/mo with Google contributing a measurable, profitable share.
A side-hustle dropshipper on a $800/mo budget selling pet accessories
Merchant Center disapprovals blocked Shopping for 6 weeks, no GTIN mapping, and a $10/day PMax test produced 14 clicks and zero sales.
Resolved GTIN/identifier_exists configuration, pulled PMax below the $50/day floor, and launched tight Search campaigns on buyer-intent long-tail keywords.
Merchant Center cleared in 10 days. Search delivered $1.2K/mo from Google at a 2.4x ROAS - first time the margin math worked.
A Shopify dropshipper at $1,100/mo ad spend testing trending products
Guru-built campaigns: 12 broad-match keywords, $75+ CPAs, 0.8x actual ROAS after tracking was fixed.
Ranked every broken lever by impact (tracking, feed, structure), rebuilt conversion tracking, and shifted budget from broad Search to one tightly-themed Shopping campaign with curated SKUs.
CPA dropped to $22, weekly Google revenue held at $900-$1,400, and the operator had a repeatable framework for the next niche store.
