To optimize your Google Shopping campaigns effectively, consider these strategies derived from a combination of best practices and advanced techniques from the industry’s leading digital marketing company.
1. Performance Campaign Structure
- Heroes: Allocate around 50% of the budget to best-performing products, aiming for slightly lower ROAS.
- Youngstars: Allocate 20% to high-potential products, adjusting tROAS based on performance.
- Zombies: Allocate 20% to low-impression products, with flexible tROAS to identify potential.
- Villains: Allocate 10% to worst-performing products with a higher tROAS to reduce spend gradually.
2. Feed Optimization
- Optional Attributes: Provide as much detailed information as possible (e.g., color, size, material, gender, age group).
- Top Keywords: Include top keywords in titles and descriptions. Structure examples: Brand + Type + Product Type + Colour + Size.
- GTINs and MPNs: Ensure these identifiers are present. If not, set <identifier_exists> to <no> to avoid warnings.
- Promotional and Lifestyle Links: Use <promotion_id> to link products to specific promotions. Employ <additional_image_link> and <lifestyle_image_link> for more ad angles.
3. Feed-Only Performance Max (Pmax) Campaigns
- Top Products: Identify top products and create dedicated Pmax feed-only campaigns with separate budgets. Exclude these from the main Pmax campaign to allow other products more room to perform.
4. Price Competitiveness
- Analyze Price Competitiveness: Identify products with poor price competitiveness and potential (high ROAS but low sales). Adjust pricing or promotions to improve competitiveness and sales.
5. Utilizing Scripts and Insights
- Pmax Scripts: Use scripts for better transparency and control over Pmax campaigns. Analyze channels and search terms to optimize performance.
- Persona Insights: Create personas using demographic data and analyze them with tools like ChatGPT for campaign optimization.
6. Cost Reduction
- Bid Adjustments: If budget constraints are high, consider lowering bids to improve metrics like impressions, clicks, conversions, and ROAS without increasing the budget.
7. Conversion per Impression (CPI)
- Ad Testing: Use the CPI metric (combining CTR and conversion rate) to identify and scale winning ads, ensuring they meet target CPA or ROAS goals.
8. First-Party Data
- Customer Match Lists: Upload customer match lists to strengthen smart bidding algorithms and target more effectively.
9. Back to Basics
- Negative Ad Targets: Exclude non-performing pages and irrelevant YouTube channels.
- Negative Keywords: Regularly update and expand your negative keyword list.
- Location and Placement Exclusions: Identify and exclude poorly performing locations and sensitive placements.
