Your conversion tracking is lying to you
Conversion tracking fires on Add to Cart, not Purchase. You think your ROAS is 3.2x but it's actually 0.8x. Every decision you've made based on that number is wrong.

Your PMax Campaign Is Showing Display Ads to Nobody. Here's How to Fix Google Ads on a Dropshipper Budget.
You've watched every free YouTube tutorial and they all contradict each other. Your conversion tracking fires on Add to Cart instead of Purchase, so you think your ROAS is 3.2x when it's actually 0.8x. And that PMax campaign you tried with $10/day? 400 Display impressions. Zero sales. There's a better way.

Sound familiar?
Merchant Center disapprovals keep killing your Shopping campaigns
You've tried Google Shopping three times. Each time, product disapprovals block your listings and you can't figure out why. The error messages are cryptic and Google support is useless.
PMax at $10/day is a money bonfire
You tried PMax because a YouTube guru said it works. At $10/day, Google sent your budget straight to Display. 400 impressions, zero clicks that mattered, zero sales. PMax needs a minimum spend threshold most tutorials don't mention.
Free YouTube courses contradict each other
One guru says broad match only. Another says exact match or die. A third says skip Shopping and go straight to PMax. You've watched 3 full courses and you're more confused than when you started.
Real voices, real frustration
“I've watched every free YouTube video and I'm still confused about which campaign type to start with”Reddit r/PPC
“Is $10/day enough for Google Ads?”Reddit r/dropshipping
“My PMax campaign is just showing display ads to random people”Reddit r/PPC
Google Ads isn't 'only for big brands.' It's for anyone who fixes their tracking first and stops trusting YouTube gurus who've never run a $600/mo budget.
