What Are Shopping Ads?
As a merchant, you can increase the quality of your leads by featuring product information directly in your ads to help users make informed purchase decisions. This makes users more likely to complete a purchase on your site.
1.
Sarah is searching for a pair of white trainers, So she does a Google search for ‘white trainers’.
2.
When the results come up, she is presented with various shopping ads from merchants selling white trainers.
3.
Sarah can quickly see which shoes match her style by looking at the picture in the shopping ads.
4.
She can also quickly see whether the white trainers fit her budget by looking at the price.
5.
This means that by the time Sarah has clicked an ad, she has a good sense of the product and its cost, which puts her further down the purchasing funnel compared to the average web user.
How Does Geek Manage And Set Up Shopping Ads?
Unlike other Google and Microsoft Ad platforms, Shopping ads rely solely on the feed you input to inform it on what products are included and for which queries they should be displayed – rather than bidding on keywords. Consequently, advertisers need to use optimised, correctly formatted shopping feeds to upload their information to Google and Bing, for the best chances of being displayed for the correct queries.
Your Shopping feed can also incorporate extra details about your products, such as review ratings, prices, sizes and anything relevant to entice the user to your online store. As a Google and Microsoft Partner agency, we are experts in optimising Shopping feeds to get the most out of your product features in the SERPs.
When working with Google and Microsoft Shopping campaigns, it’s essential to consider a holistic campaign plan. We no longer see PPC marketing platforms siloed; we see them as a combined effort that pulls together to reach your desired outcome. Therefore, your Google and Microsoft Shopping ads should be blended with other marketing efforts, such as Display Ads, Facebook and LinkedIn Ads to create a multi-touchpoint strategy that keeps you constantly in the thought process of potential buyers. Then, when your audience is in the consideration stage, you can gently remind them of who you are until they are ready for when they want to buy.

What bidding strategies should we use to maximise our return on investment?
To maximise return on investment for Shopping Ads, there are several bidding strategies to consider. One option is to use automated bidding, which uses machine learning algorithms to adjust bids in real-time based on factors like user intent and competition. Another option is to use manual bidding, which allows advertisers to set their own bids based on their desired return on investment. A third option is to use a combination of these two strategies, in which automated bidding is used to optimise bids for certain products or categories, while manual bidding is used for others.
