The Shopping Ads
Signal System
More bid is the lazy answer. Start with the signals Google reads and the friction shoppers feel. These 14 checks cover the feed, the click, and the campaign controls between them.
00
The auction is not the whole system.
You can tune bids all afternoon and still send Google a vague title, a stale stock status, and a product page that makes the shopper hunt for shipping. That is not a bidding problem. It is a signal problem.
Fix the handoffs before you pay more for the traffic.
Working checklist
Find the leak. Run the check.

Three layers. One handoff.

Make the listing recognizable and the landing page easy to trust.
03
Campaign control
Put budget behind the products and searches the economics can support.
