We manage Google Shopping campaigns that turn product feeds into profit. As a specialist Google Shopping management agency, we handle feed optimisation, bid strategy, Performance Max, and CSS — all built around your margins. Unlike generic Google Shopping agencies, we optimise product data at the SKU level and refine campaigns weekly for maximum ROAS.
Companies we've worked with
Sound Familiar?
If any of these describe your situation, we can help.
Products appear in the Shopping carousel but nobody clicks — or they click and don't buy. Usually poor feed quality, wrong bid strategy, or irrelevant search queries. We diagnose the bottleneck and fix it.
No product segmentation, no negative keywords, automated bidding running unchecked. Budget spread evenly across your catalogue means best products are underfunded while low-margin items drain spend. We restructure for profitability.
Merchant Centre disapprovals kill visibility overnight. Missing GTINs, pricing mismatches, policy violations, low-quality images. We resolve violations, monitor feed health daily, and prevent recurring disapprovals.
Hit a performance ceiling? Breaking through requires feed restructuring, margin-based bidding, smarter campaign architecture, and cross-channel analysis — not just incremental tweaks.
Vague reports, no clear strategy beyond 'let Google optimise it', flat results. If your agency can't explain what they changed last week and why, they're monitoring — not managing.
Without proper asset group segmentation, audience signals, and brand separation, PMax wastes 30–40% of budget on irrelevant placements. We apply structure that turns the black box into a predictable growth engine.
Named Clients
Some of the ecommerce brands running Google Shopping with us — across UK furniture, US luxury homewares, and premium UK beauty. The full case studies are linked from each card.
UK high-AOV bedroom furniture retailer. We built their first Google Shopping programme from scratch — feed engineered for furniture-attribute precision, PMax tuned to a long-consideration purchase cycle. Month one delivered £51.7K conversion value from £7.2K spend.
From five-figure monthly revenue to mid six-figure monthly revenue. ROAS approximately doubled. PMax shopping account rebuilt from the ground up — feed restructured, asset groups segmented by margin, brand defended.
Premium UK beauty brand (formerly Naturisimo) plateaued with their incumbent full-service agency. Chris was layered in as strategy lead — not a replacement — and unlocked a new segmentation axis the embedded team couldn't see from inside delivery. +50% profit lift in three months.

Our Approach
What separates good Shopping management from great Shopping management.
Most agencies optimise for ROAS. That looks good in reports but ignores margin. A £10 product at 5x ROAS generates less profit than a £200 product at 3x ROAS.
We bid based on your actual product margins using custom labels and profit-based segmentation. Your best-margin products get the most budget.
We work with your commercial goals, not in isolation. If you've got excess stock to shift, we adjust. If a product line is being discontinued, we scale it down.
Your Shopping strategy should move with your business — launches, promotions, stock levels, and seasonal shifts.
Shopping data tells you what people want to buy. We feed that intelligence back into your SEO strategy, your content, and your product development.
If a product is getting thousands of impressions but low clicks, that's a pricing or imagery problem — not a bidding problem. We flag it.
Performance Max is powerful but only when you control it. We segment asset groups by product category and margin tier, set proper audience signals, and exclude brand terms where needed.
PMax on autopilot is a liability. PMax with strategy is a growth engine.
Our Process
We pull apart your current Google Shopping setup: feed quality, campaign structure, bidding strategy, Merchant Centre health, conversion tracking, and attribution. We identify every leak before filling the bucket.
We optimise product data — titles with search-relevant keywords, Google product categories, missing attributes, custom labels for margin-based segmentation, and supplemental feeds for promotions and stock levels. As a Google Shopping feed optimisation agency, we refine every attribute to improve both paid and free listings.
Standard Google Shopping campaigns for granular product-level targeting. Performance Max for broader reach with segmented asset groups. Brand/non-brand separation. Hero product campaigns for highest-margin items. Every campaign has a clear purpose.
Every bid is based on actual profitability. High-margin products get aggressive bids; low-margin products get conservative bids. Loss leaders are handled separately. Bid adjustments reviewed weekly based on performance, competition, and seasonal demand.
We apply a Comparison Shopping Service partner to your Google Shopping campaigns, unlocking up to 20% lower CPCs. Same placements, same visibility, lower cost per click. Zero disruption to live campaigns.

CSS Partnership
CSS partnership reduces your Shopping CPCs by up to 20% across the board because Google rebates the affiliate fee. We operate through our verified CSS partner — activation takes 48 hours, sits in your existing Merchant Centre, and causes zero disruption to live campaigns.
What changes for you: nothing operationally. Same campaigns, same products, same reporting. The CPC reduction shows up in your account from day one of the rebate cycle.

Campaign Architecture
Most ecommerce brands aren't choosing between Shopping and PMax — they're running both, badly. Here's how we decide which campaign type carries which products, and where Hybrid wins.
| Dimension | Standard Shopping | Performance Max | Hybrid (our default) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | High — granular query and bid control | Low — algorithmic, opaque placements | High where it matters |
| Transparency | Search terms, placements, devices visible | Limited reporting; black-box placements | Standard Shopping carries hero products; PMax carries long tail |
| Audience signals | Limited audience layering | Strong — feeds the algorithm with first-party data | Audience signals layered into PMax; Shopping bid manually |
| Feed dependency | Heavy — feed quality is everything | Heavy + creative dependency | Feed-led on hero products; PMax fills the gaps |
| Best for | Hero products, high-AOV, brand-defended SKUs | Long-tail products, awareness layer, gaps in inventory | Most ecommerce accounts above £3K/month spend |
| Our default | First 3 months for new high-AOV products | Always-on for long tail and brand defence | Yes — most accounts run both |
These are operating defaults, not absolutes. Account-level decisions sit with the campaign architecture audit.
Strictly Beds and Bunks — a UK e-commerce retailer specialising in beds, bunk beds, and bedroom furniture — had only ever run Facebook ads. We built their first Google Shopping programme from scratch: feed engineered for furniture-attribute precision, PMax architecture tuned to a long-consideration high-AOV purchase cycle, branded vs non-brand spend separated.
Month one delivered £51.7K in tracked conversion value from £7.2K spend — a 9.31x return on a vertical where many UK furniture retailers settle for 3-4x. They've since had to expand warehouse capacity to keep up.

Free vs. paid listings: Google Merchant Centre offers organic Google Shopping listings through the free Shopping tab, but paid Google Shopping advertising dominates the SERP real estate most users see.
At Visionary, we focus on ROAS. Your Google Shopping feed is constantly optimised, bids adjusted based on product performance, and underperformers identified to reduce wasted spend. If your current ROAS is below 3x, significant optimisation opportunities exist in feed quality, campaign structure, and bidding strategy.

Client Voice
"Chris is a very knowledgeable PPC consultant. I enjoyed working with him, and he helped us unlock growth we previously thought wouldn't be possible."
Alison Goulbourne
Director, Oh My Cream
ohmycream.co.uk"Chris is a real master of SEO and PPC. I'll never forget the time he discovered what could have been a catastrophic SEO issue, prior to a new big website launch that would have cost the business £100,000s (that every other so-called SEO expert we'd engaged had missed)."
Sean Ball
Director of Marketing, durhamlane
