Google Ads

Google Ads isn’t about how many campaigns you run. It’s about whether the system has the right data to make the right decisions. Performance doesn’t start when a campaign goes live. It starts with whether Google actually understands what matters to your business. Most accounts don’t underperform because of low budgets. They underperform because they’re poorly built from the ground up.

Why performance campaigns often don’t work

In practice, we keep seeing the same scenario:

  • campaigns are running,
  • budgets are being spent,
  • results stagnate or fluctuate.

 

Usually because:

  • conversions are set up incorrectly,
  • the system is optimizing for actions with little business value,
  • feed quality and Merchant Center limit performance,
  • campaign structures follow outdated setups and ignore Google Ads updates,
  • budgets are allocated illogically based on historical habits = money flows into low
  • impact campaigns while high-impact ones are underfunded,
  • campaign structure doesn’t reflect best practices or the uniqueness of the account,
  • remarketing audiences don’t exist at all.


Google Ads isn’t about constantly tweaking settings.

 

It’s about the quality of data and creatives the system works with.

 

We don’t touch campaigns without an audit

We don’t take over Google Ads “just because.” The first step is always a deep performance analysis, which we already do as part of OpiStarter.

This allows us to clearly identify what’s worth fixing - and what isn’t.
 

What we actually analyze in Google Ads

Conversion tracking & data

Without proper conversions, optimization is meaningless.

Primary conversions and their quality
Enhanced conversions
GA4 backup conversions
Micro-conversions (add to cart
engagement
session value)
Optimization for value vs. volume
Most accounts optimize for the wrong or insufficient goal.

Account & campaign structure

The more complex the structure, the worse the performance.

Campaign consolidation
Proper use of Performance Max
Brand vs. non-brand separation
Smart use of Search
DSA
Shopping
and Demand Gen
Backup campaigns for critical scenarios
Fewer campaigns = more data = better performance.

Bidding & algorithms

Smart bidding only works when it has the right data.

tROAS only where there’s enough value-based conversion data
Maximize Conversion Value where data fluctuates (still value-focused)
Correct handling of order values
Eliminating “blind” optimization
The algorithm isn’t stupid. It’s just often fed with the wrong signals.

Remarketing & audiences

The biggest untapped potential in most accounts.

Properly implemented remarketing tags
Minimum audiences: view_item
add_to_cart
purchase
Regular Match Rate monitoring (min. 90%)
Regularly updated Customer Match lists
Using audiences as signals for Performance Max
Lookalike audiences for acquisition
Without audiences, campaigns are shooting in the dark.

Merchant Center & product feed

Shopping campaigns are only as good as the product data.

Product approval (price
weight
required attributes)
Optimized product titles (brand + keywords)
Descriptions and supplemental attributes
Product protection
Consistent branding and business information
The feed is often the biggest performance bottleneck.

What our work delivers

We don’t just create “better” campaigns. We deliver:

higher return on ad spend

more stable performance

better control over growth

clear logic behind where and why money is spent

Most importantly: campaigns that can scale.

This service is for e-commerce brands that:

  • spend budget but feel performance doesn’t make sense,
  • want to understand why campaigns work or don’t work,
  • are ready to adjust settings - not just change copy.


It’s not for companies that:

  • want “campaign management only,”
  • focus solely on CPC, CTR, impressions, and clicks,
  • aren’t willing to actively participate in account development,
  • expect unrealistic results without fixing data and structure.

Performance is about making the right decisions.

If you want to know:

  • where money is actually leaking in Google Ads,
  • what’s worth improving,
  • and what should be left alone

let’s start with an audit.
