Google Shopping

We set up and manage Google Shopping product advertising: product ads with a photo/price in search and on the Shopping tab via Google Merchant Center + Google Ads. Honestly and bluntly upfront about access: Google Ads/Shopping are unavailable in Russia (Google suspended ad sales), so the channel is relevant where Google Shopping is available (other countries/markets). We honestly check availability for your geo/market. Like any advertising: it brings traffic but does NOT guarantee sales/ROI; a correct product feed is needed; works while there is a budget; the auction/moderation decides. Without promises of result.

Google Shopping — overview

Google Shopping — price, timeline & scope

Google Shopping is Google's product advertising: ads with an image, price and product name shown in Google search and on the 'Shopping' tab. It works through the combination of Google Merchant Center (the product feed) + Google Ads (campaigns). The work: checking availability by geo, setting up/checking the product feed in Merchant Center, Shopping/Performance Max campaigns in Google Ads, feed and bid optimization, management. Honestly about availability, this is critical: Google suspended ad sales in Russia — Google Ads/Shopping are unavailable in the RF. The channel is relevant for businesses operating in markets where Google Shopping is available (other countries). We honestly check availability for your geo/market and will not undertake to set up the unavailable — that would be a deception. If the channel is unavailable for your task — we will honestly say so and propose available ones (Yandex.Market/marketplaces — 571). Honestly about 'a correct product feed is needed': Shopping depends entirely on feed quality (titles, images, prices, GTIN, availability); errors in the feed/Merchant Center block impressions. Often the main work is the feed itself. Honestly about 'advertising ≠ a guarantee of sales/ROI': product ads bring targeted traffic, but sales and return depend on the price (Shopping is very price-sensitive — the price is visible immediately), competition, card/site quality, the assortment. Advertising increases the chances, does not guarantee revenue; 'guaranteed ROAS' = a lie. Honestly about 'works while there is a budget'. Honestly about 'the auction/moderation decides': the cost per impression is determined by the auction; the feed/store go through Merchant Center moderation (strict requirements). Honestly about 'traffic ≠ sales'. Honestly about transparency: the ad budget ≠ commission. Honestly about the effect: it sets up Merchant Center + Shopping/PMax campaigns with an availability check and feed work, bringing targeted traffic, but it is not a guarantee of sales/ROI; unavailable in the RF; a correct feed is needed; works while there is a budget; the auction/moderation decides. Honestly about access: an available market/geo, a product feed/store, a budget, Google access are needed. An important boundary: this is Google Shopping (Google's product advertising); regular Google Ads (search/Display) — 438; Yandex.Market/marketplaces — 571; the feed/product cards — 302/350. The base price starts from 28,000 ₽ for setup/management (the ad budget is separate).

FAQ

  • Does Google Shopping work in Russia?

    No, honestly: Google suspended ad sales in Russia — Google Ads/Shopping are unavailable in the RF. The channel is relevant for businesses in markets where Google Shopping is available (other countries). We honestly check availability for your geo/market and will not undertake to set up the unavailable. If the channel is unavailable to you — we will honestly propose alternatives (Yandex.Market/marketplaces — 571).

  • Is it enough to launch a campaign — the feed doesn't matter?

    No, honestly: Google Shopping depends entirely on product feed quality (titles, images, prices, GTIN, availability). Errors in the feed or Merchant Center block impressions, and a weak feed drains the budget. Often the main work is the feed itself. We will honestly start with the feed and say if the problem is in it, not the campaign.

  • Do you guarantee sales/ROAS?

    No, honestly: product ads bring targeted traffic, but sales and return depend on the price (Shopping is very price-sensitive — the price is visible immediately), competition, card/site quality, the assortment.
