E-com isn't a campaign. It's a system.

The brands that win on paid social and Shopping aren't running better campaigns — they're running a tighter feedback loop. Feed quality, creative velocity, audience freshness, post-purchase signals into bidding — each tuned weekly, each compounding.

Most accounts have one of those four humming and the rest neglected. That's why ROAS spikes for a month, then drifts. Why PMax “solves it” for six weeks and then mysteriously underperforms.

This service runs the whole loop — not just the ad accounts. Feed, creative, audience, measurement — all four moving together so Q4 doesn't melt the math.

01 — What's included

The full measurement stack, end to end.

[ build + handover ]
// 01

Google Shopping + PMax

Standard Shopping campaigns plus PMax with proper asset groups, product feeds segmented by margin tier, and exclusion rules to stop PMax cannibalising brand search.

// 02

Meta DPA + Advantage+

Dynamic product ads wired to your full catalogue, Advantage+ shopping campaigns scoped against new-customer goals, retargeting on lookback windows that actually convert.

// 03

Amazon PPC

Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display — keyword harvesting from search-term reports, ACoS targets segmented by ASIN lifecycle.

Feed operations

Shopify / Merchant Centre feed hygiene — title optimisation, GTIN coverage, custom labels for margin tiers, disapproval monitoring with daily alerts.

// 05

Creative pipeline

A 14-day refresh cadence — statics, motion, UGC — briefed against winners and stress-tested before launch. Creative fatigue tracked as a leading indicator.

// 06

ROAS modelling

03 — Questions

What you're actually wondering.

[ click to expand ]
/ 01 PMax or standard Shopping? +
Both, usually — PMax for incremental reach and Shopping for control on hero SKUs. Going all-in on PMax is a recipe for losing visibility on the products you actually want to bid harder on.
/ 02 Can you write creative? +
Copy, yes — statics and motion are briefed to designers/editors I work with regularly (you pay them direct, typical cost £300–£800 per asset). I approve every asset before launch.
/ 03 Shopify, Magento, custom? +
Mostly Shopify in 2026, but Magento, BigCommerce and custom builds all work. The only requirement is a reliable product feed and clean pixel/CAPI implementation.
/ 04 What about Amazon? +
Sponsored Products + Sponsored Brands are part of standard scope. Sponsored Display and DSP can be added — typically once Amazon is > £30k/month revenue for the brand.
/ 05 What happens during Black Friday? +
A planned Q4 war-room sprint — daily standups Mon–Sun through Cyber Week, real-time pacing, escalation paths. Booked separately if your engagement starts mid-Q3.

Make Q4 the easy one.
