Ecommerce PPC Agency
Ecommerce PPC for brands ready to scale profitably.
As your ecommerce business grows, PPC becomes more complex. Customer acquisition costs rise, competition intensifies and every pound of budget needs to work harder than the last.
That's why we don't just manage Google Ads accounts, we help ambitious ecommerce brands use paid media to increase revenue profitably, uncover new opportunities and support long-term business growth.
We build Google Search Ads, Shopping and Performance Max strategies driven by your commercial objectives, not just platform metrics. If strategic growth and long-term results are what you’re looking for, it pays to partner with us.
Better PPC campaigns start with a better understanding of your business.
No two ecommerce brands grow in exactly the same way. Before we touch your campaigns, we take the time to understand your products, margins, customer lifetime value, inventory challenges and commercial goals.
Because without that context, optimisation is just guesswork.
Sometimes the answer is increasing spend.
Sometimes it's improving your product feed.
Sometimes it's fixing the customer journey before spending another pound.
Ultimately, we'll always recommend what's best for your business.
PPC should improve your business, not just a dashboard.
You’ll have seen those dashboards before, with big numbers and lots of arrows telling you how your paid efforts have impacted growth. They look nice, sure, but what do they really mean in the long-term? We go beyond the metrics, focusing on what actually propels your business forwards and delivers genuine growth.
Most agencies report on Impressions, Clicks, ROAS, Conversions. Yes, they’re useful metrics but they’re only part of the story of what’s really going on.
The conversations we prefer having are about profitability, customer acquisition costs, contribution margin and customer lifetime value. This is because we know a campaign generating impressive numbers isn't always generating sales
Every recommendation we make is measured against commercial success, helping you make smarter investment decisions instead of simply chasing bigger numbers.
Turn search intent into profitable customers.
Every day, thousands of people search Google knowing exactly what they want to buy, and you need to make sure people find you instead of your competitors.
From Google Shopping and Search to Performance Max and remarketing, we build campaigns that capture high-intent customers at every stage of their buying journey.
By combining campaign management with feed optimisation, landing page improvements and ongoing testing, we help ensure every click has the greatest possible chance of becoming a profitable customer.
We've managed Google Ads and we’ve also relied on them.
Growing our own ecommerce businesses taught us something most agencies never experience - that paid media doesn't exist in a vacuum.
Every pound spent has implications across stock levels, cash flow, fulfilment, customer service and profitability. That commercial perspective changes the conversations we have with clients.
So, instead of asking, "How do we increase ROAS?" we ask "How do we build you a healthier ecommerce business?"
An ecommerce PPC strategy built around your business.
Every partnership follows the same philosophy, but never the same blueprint. Our process looks a little bit like this:
In-depth research: We get to know your brand and industry inside out, analysing your data and mapping out clear goals for us to work towards.
Thorough PPC audits: We dive into your accounts to find any issues that could be harming your performance.
Data-driven strategies: From there, we build your strategy with a clear purpose and budget in mind.
Optimise: We select the optimal campaign types to suit your business needs, and ensure your product feeds are set up to deliver the best results.
Analyse: Once your campaigns are live, we constantly analyse their performance, running A/B testing, prospecting, retargeting, automation and more to keep you one step ahead.

Ecommerce PPC FAQs
In its simplest form, ecommerce PPC involves using paid advertising channels such as Google Ads, Google Shopping and Paid Social to drive traffic to product and category pages with the aim of growing revenue.
By bidding on target keywords related to your products, ecommerce PPC allows online store owners to grow visibility from high-intent, product-led keywords.
Is ecommerce PPC better than SEO?
No! While ecommerce PPC is advantageous over SEO in some scenarios, neither is inherently better. Each service plays its own important role within a search marketing strategy.
A better perspective is that PPC & SEO complement each other and work together to achieve a strong search presence across the wider landscape.
If want to know how this might look in practice, here’s how our organic and paid teams combined to achieve 113% revenue growth for the UK’s biggest ice hockey retailer.
Generally, ecommerce PPC services help you to generate short-term visibility faster. This is useful for precise targeting, getting new product ranges to market quickly or driving traffic to product lines with lower organic visibility.
Ecommerce SEO services can take much longer to have an impact, but work towards growing long-term brand authority, trust and search visibility. Your SEO team can also help your PPC campaigns to deliver better results by improving technical SEO and UX fundamentals, and creating better landing pages for your PPC team to run ads to.
Likewise, PPC insights can feed into your SEO strategy, allowing you to sample-test performance of specific keywords and pages before you invest countless hours trying to get them into the top organic positions.
Absolutely, ecommerce PPC is a proven method for growing product sales and brand awareness.
Through precise targeting and remarketing, ecommerce PPC allows you to connect with high-intent customers at multiple touchpoints across the web. Some examples of where PPC can be really effective include:
Launching new products at the top of search results & across video and display placements (eg. YouTube Ads)
Driving product sales where organic visibility is low or results are saturated with search features
Generating repeat sales from previous customers
Targeting specific demographics or buyer personas
We understand that each business has its own set of challenges, blockers and goals, so we do not provide a one-size-fits-all solution. We charge a fixed management fee each month for our ecommerce PPC services, which is based on the resources required to achieve your commercial goals.
Google Ads can be effective from an ad spend budget as small as £5,000 per month. The exact answer of how much you should spend is dependent on your business goals and the size of your serviceable market.
The more budget you have available, the more competitive you can be.
It’s often recommended to start with a lower budget during the learning period, then gradually scale once you know which campaigns are converting.
On Average, we’re seeing our clients achieve a 1100% Return on Ad Spend. However, the exact amount you can expect to generate comes down to a few variables:
Conversion Rate and User Experience
Product Positioning & Average Cost-Per-Clicks
Product Availability & Seasonality
By analysing these data points, our team can create accurate forecasts on your expected Return on Ad Spend, and provide insights into where incremental improvements can be made.
This will always vary and can be influenced by factors like available budget and level of competition, and how you define results.
In most cases, your campaigns will start generating clicks and impressions within 24 hours.
It’s important to recognise that your campaigns will be actively learning - the more data your campaigns collect, the more Google’s algorithms have to learn from. This means that, like many things, PPC campaigns perform better over time. This learning cycle normally takes a couple of months.
Absolutely! Shopping feed optimisation is one of the key areas our ecommerce PPC experts review in the early stages of your campaign. Optimising your shopping feed - and keeping on top of it thereafter - helps Google match user queries with your most relevant products, allowing your marketing budgetto work harder and push potential customers to the right products.
This is multi-beneficial and can drastically improve the performance of free Organic Shopping listings in addition to Google Shopping ads.
Performance Max is the latest type of all-in-one ad type for Google Ads and Microsoft Ads. Designed to rely heavily on real-time user signals and machine-learning predictions, Performance Max - also known as PMAX - can run shopping, display, video and search ads all within one feature.
Performance Max is a powerful tool for expanding your reach and testing a wide range of ad types., however, this is not a set-it-and-forget-it solution. Without a clear strategy, accurate conversion tracking and regular optimisations, PMAX campaigns can cannibalise traffic, bid heavily on brand terms, and damage your brand reputation through AI creative and controversial ad placements.
Yes! We can work with your internal CRM and Email Marketing Teams to create and segment audience lists, or work with our own Email Marketing experts to provide GDPR-compliant remarketing audiences for our ads.
A great tool for increasing your Customer Lifetime Value is Dynamic Remarketing, an automated ad type that allows us to serve ads of a recently viewed product to shoppers as they view websites and apps within the Google Display Network
We use various metrics to measure the performance of your PPC campaigns, including Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), Customer Acquisition Cost(CAC), Conversion Rate (CVR), Average Order Value (AOV), Profitable Return On Investment, and Customer Lifetime Value.
Crucially, here’s no universal approach and the best metric for measuring the success of one brand or campaign may not be the same for another.
We’ll work closely with you to understand your business goals, margins and what success looks like to you, then build our reporting around this whilst making sure you understand the what and why of each metric included.
Yes! As part of our Google Shopping service, we will audit your Google Merchant Center account and manage your account with you.

In terms of specific events, we can help you to configure tracking for ecommerce events or any other user engagements that you might want to track (for example enquiry form submissions), usually via Google Tag Manager.
