Search, online and digital media
Shopping ads on a feed that sells
Shopping ads show a picture, a price and your store name before anyone clicks. When your price is higher than a competitor’s, Shopping tells the buyer before you pay for the click. When your feed titles do not match how people search, the products never show.
FOCUSADS starts Shopping work in the feed. Titles, product types and custom labels for margin and stock decide which products get budget, so spend flows to items that make money after media cost.

Budget suitability
Test budgets are our planning guidance for a fair monthly test. Platform minimums are separate, and media is paid directly to platforms or media owners.
$2,000 to $8,000
Test budget, per month
Sized to cover top-margin product groups first; long-tail products get budget only after the core groups prove profitable.
At US price levels the planner will not fund this channel below $1,500 of media a month per market, because the signal below that is too thin to act on. In other markets the threshold follows the local price level. That is our planning estimate, not a platform minimum.

Questions buyers ask
Why are some of my products never shown? Usually feed issues: disapprovals, missing attributes or titles that do not match searches. We fix the feed before raising bids.
Do I need Performance Max for Shopping? No. Standard Shopping still gives more control. We often start there and test Performance Max once product economics are clear.
Can you bid by margin? Yes, with margin labels in the feed. Products then get budget according to profit per sale.
Which markets support Shopping? Google Shopping runs in most of the markets we cover. Your plan confirms availability, currency and policy for each target country.
Put budget on the right products
Product listing ads driven by your Merchant Center feed: titles, prices, availability and margin-based bidding decide what wins.
