Optimizing Google Shopping campaigns is like trying to lose weight with kale smoothies. It works, but it’s painfully slow. Luckily, there’s a faster way to get results—like throwing a treadmill in front of your budget and making it a sprint.
Here’s the deal: you can overhaul your Google Shopping feeds and campaigns with 10 high-impact strategies and start ranking higher. You’ll stop wasting money, target your best performers, and draw in more buyers than a Black Friday sale at a TV store.
Cut the Waste (Because Burning Money Isn’t a Strategy)
Most campaigns bleed cash because they waste budget on products or clicks that don’t convert. Let’s fix that:
1. Remove Unprofitable Products. Some products hog clicks but never sell. They’re like employees who spend all day watching cat videos—cut them loose. Focus your budget on items that actually bring home the bacon.
2. Set Availability. Advertising out-of-stock items is like inviting someone to a dinner party with no food. Adjust your settings to only promote products you can actually sell.
3. Add Negative Keywords. Ever paid for clicks from people looking for free stuff? Add negative keywords to block irrelevant searches, and your budget will thank you.
Bulls-Eye Bidding (Stop Shooting Arrows Blindfolded)
Your budget deserves precision. Here’s how to make every cent count:
4. Separate Bids for Bestsellers. Your top-performing products are your MVPs. Treat them like royalty with a separate bidding strategy and constant optimization.
5. Bid on Product Types. Generic categories are like baggy sweatpants—comfortable but not flattering. Bid on your own product types to get better results.
6. Use Custom Labels. Custom labels let you slice and dice your campaigns. Highlight seasonal items, high-margin products, or promotions to fine-tune your bids.
Get More Visitors (Because No Traffic = No Sales)
Your ads should attract shoppers like free pizza attracts coworkers. Here’s how to boost your traffic game:
7. Select Your Best Images. People eat with their eyes first—so serve them something delicious. Use high-quality images that show off your products’ best angles or colors.
8. Optimize Your Product Titles. Your product titles are the pickup lines of e-commerce. Make them keyword-rich and irresistibly descriptive. Include brand names, sizes, and colors to improve visibility and clicks.
9. Add Google Product Categories. Using Google’s deepest subcategories makes your ads as specific as a GPS pin. Match your products to the right taxonomy, and watch your conversion rates climb.
10. Add Promotions. A discount in your ad is like adding neon lights to a storefront. It grabs attention. Highlight promotions directly in your feed to stand out from the competition.
