Shopping Ads delivered by First Person Marketing

Merchandise the catalogue by profit, not by volume. Shopping Ads sits inside the Paid Advertising line of your subscription, delivered by the same team that runs your other channels and reported against predictable acquisition at a cost per sale you can plan around.

What changes when shopping ads is handled properly

Where you are nowWhat we put in place
You suspect shopping Ads matters for your business but nobody internally owns it, so it moves only when someone finds spare timeFeed optimisation and diagnostics
You have paid for shopping Ads before and received activity reports rather than an explanation of what it earnedProduct level bidding
Your competitors are visibly ahead on shopping Ads and the gap widens every quarter you leave itPromotion and price competitiveness
You can see the enquiries you get, but not the enquiries you are missing because shopping Ads is not being handledFeed optimisation and diagnostics

Scope, in detail

Feed optimisation and diagnosticsWe start here because feed optimisation and diagnostics is usually where the gap between what your site could earn and what it does earn is widest. Your account manager agrees the scope with you before any work begins, so you always know what is being changed and why.
Product level biddingProduct level bidding is handled by the specialist who does this work every day, not by a generalist working from a checklist. You see the plan, the change and the result of the change in your workspace rather than in a slide at the end of the quarter.
Promotion and price competitivenessNothing here is delivered in isolation. Promotion and price competitiveness is sequenced against the rest of your plan so shopping Ads supports paid, lifecycle and conversion work instead of competing with it for the same budget.

Delivery schedule

  1. Week one: audit and baseline

    We audit the current state of shopping Ads, record a baseline for every measure we intend to move and agree what a good ninety days looks like in writing. Without a baseline, nobody can honestly claim an improvement later.

  2. Weeks two and three: first changes shipped

    The highest impact items go live first, starting with feed optimisation and diagnostics. You approve anything that touches your brand or your customers before it ships.

  3. Weeks four to eight: build and test

    Product level bidding is delivered and tested, with results reviewed against the baseline every fortnight instead of at month end when it is too late to react.

  4. Weeks nine to twelve: compound and review

    We consolidate what worked, retire what did not and present the ninety day review. If the agreed measures have not moved, our guarantee applies and you can ask for your money back.

How we are judged

Qualified enquiriesThe only number that tells you whether shopping Ads paid for itself this month.
Cost per acquired customerBlended across every channel, so no channel can claim credit twice.
Pipeline contributionWhat shopping Ads contributed to opportunities your sales team can actually close.
Delivery against planWhether the work we committed to this month actually shipped.

Shopping Ads is included in every plan from $199 per month upward. Larger plans allocate more monthly capacity to shopping Ads; your account manager will tell you honestly which plan the work you want actually fits.

Answers

Questions about shopping ads

Can I buy shopping Ads on its own

Shopping Ads is delivered inside a monthly subscription rather than as a standalone project, because it performs better when it is planned alongside your other channels. Your plan sets how much of the monthly capacity goes to shopping Ads, and that split can change as priorities change.

How quickly does shopping Ads show results

You will see delivery inside the first fortnight and measurable movement inside ninety days. That is the window our guarantee covers. Some parts of paid advertising compound for longer, which we will say plainly rather than promising everything at once.

Who actually does the shopping Ads work

A specialist in paid advertising employed by us, directed by your named account manager. Nothing is passed to an offshore subcontractor and nothing is generated and published without a human reviewing it.

What do you need from us

Access to the relevant systems, one decision maker who can approve work, and about an hour a month for the review. Slow approvals are the single most common reason shopping Ads underperforms, so we agree turnaround expectations up front.

What happens if shopping Ads does not work

We commit to growth within ninety days or your money back, and the measures are agreed with you in week one rather than chosen afterwards. If we miss, you can claim under the guarantee or move your capacity to a channel with a better chance.
