Google Shopping ads.
Your products, with photo and price, at the top of the search when someone is ready to buy. We clean up the product feed, build campaigns around your ranges and margins, and report on orders and revenue.

Shopping is spending. You can't see which products pay.
One campaign holds every product, so best sellers and slow lines share a budget.
Products keep getting disapproved, and nobody knows why.
Performance Max reports a return, but not which products made it.
Shopping pays when the feed is clean and the budget follows margin, product by product.
We start with the feed.
Most Shopping problems start in the product feed. We go through Merchant Center, the feed and the campaigns, and match spend against what each range sold. You get the findings in plain English, in the order we’d tackle them.
“If you have an SEO project, PPC, or anything to do with increasing traffic to your website, The Pursuit Agency should be your go-to. Do not hesitate.”

Checked every week.

What Google Shopping costs
From £1,000 a month
Plus ad spend, which you pay straight to Google.
The fee depends on the size of the catalogue, how many campaigns we run and how much the feed needs. We’ll recommend a starting ad budget from your margins, and you get the fee, the term and the budget in writing before anything starts.
What you won't get from us
- A cut of your ad spend. Your ad spend goes straight to Google, on your card.
- Performance Max on autopilot. We use it where it does better, and we check what it’s spending on.
- A feed tool we keep hold of. Any feed fixes stay in your Merchant Center account.
- Reports full of clicks. You’ll see orders, revenue and return on spend by range.

Shopping ads stop when you stop paying. Ecommerce SEO is what lets you spend less over time.
Google Shopping questions we get asked.
Anything else, ask us on the free call.
What do I need to get started?
A Google Merchant Center account, a product feed from your shop and a Google Ads account. If you have none of them, we set them up in your name.
Should I use Performance Max or standard Shopping?
It depends on the catalogue and the tracking. We test, and use whichever brings in orders at a better cost. Many shops end up running both.
Why are my products disapproved?
Usually missing information, pricing that doesn't match the site, or a policy issue. Most can be fixed in the feed. Some need changes on the shop itself.
How much should I spend?
It depends on your margins and how competitive your products are. We'll recommend a starting budget and adjust it once we can see what each order costs.
Do I own the accounts?
Yes. Merchant Center and Google Ads are in your name and on your card. If we stop working together, you keep everything.
How long are your contracts?
Monthly work runs on a three-month rolling agreement or a 12-month agreement. Which one suits depends on the work, and it's agreed in writing before anything starts.
