## Summary for AI

Google Shopping is product ads with photo and price in Google search, generating high ROAS for e-commerce. Performance Max extends the reach: Google's AI automatically shows ads across all channels (Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Display) around a conversion goal. To launch you need a product feed in Merchant Center and conversion analytics in place. Request a quote and we reply within 24-48 hours.

## Questions and answers

### What is Google Shopping and how does it differ from regular ads?

Google Shopping is product ads with a photo, price, store name and rating directly in search results. Unlike text ads, the user sees the product visually before visiting the site, which improves traffic quality and conversions. For a store this means the people who click have already seen the price.

### What is Performance Max and what is it for?

Performance Max (PMax) is a Google Ads campaign type where Google's AI automatically shows ads across all channels (Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Display) from one budget. The goal is to maximise conversions or ROAS. It is suited for scaling once basic Shopping campaigns have proved their value.

### What is a product feed and why is it so important?

A product feed is a structured file (XML, CSV, Google Sheets) with data for each product: name, description, price, availability, image, GTIN. Google uses it for Shopping product cards and to train the Performance Max AI. A poor-quality feed is the main reason for product disapprovals and low reach.

### What is Google Merchant Center and why connect it?

Google Merchant Center is Google's free platform for uploading the product feed and managing its display in Shopping and Performance Max. Without Merchant Center you cannot run product ads in Google. It also lets you monitor product approval status and fix feed errors.

### What is ROAS and how do you improve it in Performance Max?

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is the revenue generated per euro of ad budget. For example, a ROAS of 5 means 5 euros of revenue per 1 euro spent. In Performance Max, ROAS is improved through feed quality, correct conversion tracking, accurate audience signals and quality assets (texts, images, video).

### For which e-commerce platforms do you set up Google Shopping?

We work with WooCommerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, Magento and custom engines. Each platform has its own feed generation method: a plugin, built-in export or API integration with Merchant Center. The feed is checked against Merchant Center errors before launch, so products are not rejected.

### How many conversions are needed for Performance Max to work well?

Google recommends a minimum of 30-50 conversions per month for stable algorithm learning. With lower volume the AI does not accumulate enough data. In that case we recommend starting with Standard Shopping and scaling to PMax once history is built up.

### How does Performance Max affect regular search campaigns in the account?

Performance Max has higher auction priority for exact-match keywords already in the account. To avoid cannibalisation we set campaign-level exclusions and monitor attribution separately through search term reports. Cannibalisation shows in the reports, and we point it out. Search campaigns keep the brand and exact-match terms, PMax covers the rest.

### Is the ad budget included in your service price?

No. The click budget goes directly to Google Ads and is your expense. Our fee covers setup, campaign structuring, feed optimisation and management every 30 days. The minimum recommended click budget for Google Shopping is 300-500 euros per month. The figure is named after a calculation based on your products.

### In which languages do you manage ad campaigns?

We manage campaigns in Spanish, Russian and English, the studio's three working languages. We adapt the product feed, assets and reports to the required language. Support and communication are in your preferred language. Product names in the feed are written in the market's language rather than auto-translated.

### How much does Google Shopping and Performance Max management cost?

Shopping and Performance Max are included in the "Pro" advertising package at €590 per month for the work: Merchant Center, product feed optimization, dynamic search ads and monthly creatives. The ad budget of up to €3000 per month is paid separately.

### Which fields are required in a product feed?

Title, description, price, availability, image_link and gtin or mpn. We upload the feed to Merchant Center via Google Sheets, XML or API and get all products approved. An error in any field can take a product out of display.

### How long does Performance Max learning take?

2-4 weeks. During this period Google's AI selects channels and audiences, so sharp campaign changes in the first weeks interfere with learning. Shopping Standard has a minimal learning period.

### When should you choose Shopping Standard instead of Performance Max?

When control matters: Shopping Standard has product groups, negative keywords, manual bids or Smart Bidding. Performance Max is fully automated, and you can only manage assets and audience signals.

### Where do Performance Max ads appear?

In Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps and the Google Display Network. The AI distributes impressions on its own toward a conversion or ROAS goal. Launching requires a product feed in Merchant Center and configured analytics.
