What changes when it is retail
We check conversion tracking before touching a campaign. A shocking share of accounts optimise towards a goal that fires on the wrong event, which means the algorithm has been confidently buying the wrong traffic.
In retail, store-level data is noisy and channels are usually not integrated. That single fact reshapes how google ads management has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is planogram compliance checking, usually integrated against ERP. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector
Our store data is messy.
Universally true, and the data audit is the first work package. Stockouts unrecorded as zero sales are the single most common distortion in retail forecasting.
Can it work across online and offline?
Yes, and unified demand across channels is usually where the largest gains sit. Most retailers forecast them separately and lose accuracy to it.
What should our budget be?
Enough for the algorithm to learn on your conversion volume, below a certain threshold campaigns never exit learning and performance stays erratic. We size it from your target cost per acquisition and margin rather than guessing.
How do you charge?
A management fee rather than a percentage of spend. Percentage models quietly reward us for spending more of your money, which is the wrong incentive.
Why is our cost per click rising?
Usually competition, but often relevance. Improving landing page alignment and account structure is the lever you control, and it moves the number.
