Your ROAS looks good, but your bank account doesn’t
Ad platforms report revenue. After product costs, shipping, returns and fees, the profit isn’t there.

Quick answer
What does an ecommerce marketing agency do?
An ecommerce marketing agency helps online stores sell more at a profit. That usually means Google Shopping and Performance Max for people searching for your products, Meta Ads to reach new buyers, email and SMS to bring customers back, and SEO for your product and collection pages. A good agency also tracks every order back to its source and sets targets from your margins, so your budget follows profit, not platform-reported revenue.

Sound familiar?
Does this sound like you?
Most store owners who call us have tried an agency or a freelancer before. If any of these are familiar, you’re in the right place.
Shopify, Google and Meta all show different sales
Each platform takes credit for the same order, so nobody knows what’s really working.
Your inbox is full of agencies promising 10× ROAS
Most send the same message to every store, with screenshots you can’t check.
You were upsold before the basics worked
Retainers and add-ons came first, while tracking, the product feed and the checkout were still broken.
Performance Max spends on your own brand name
Customers who were already coming back get counted as new sales, and your real growth is smaller than it looks.
What we do
Marketing services for online stores
We build the marketing your sales actually come from, and connect every channel to the same order data.
Google Shopping and Performance Max
A clean product feed with clear titles, prices and stock, campaigns split by margin and best sellers, and brand searches kept separate so new sales are counted honestly.
- Merchant Center
- Product feed
- PMax
Meta Ads
New creative tested every week, prospecting to people who don’t know you yet, and retargeting for visitors and carts that didn’t check out.
- Creative testing
Email and SMS
Welcome, abandoned cart, browse and post-purchase flows that bring shoppers back without paying for the click again.
- Flows
- Campaigns
- Segments
Ecommerce SEO
Collection and product pages written for what shoppers search, product structured data and faster pages, so you earn sales without a cost per click.
- Collections
- Product schema
- Site speed
Purchase tracking
Server-side tracking and the Meta Conversions API, with every order matched to your store’s own numbers.
- GA4
- Server-side
- Conversions API
Product page and checkout CRO
Clear product pages, trust signals and a shorter checkout, so more of the traffic you pay for becomes orders.
- A/B tests
- Checkout
- Speed
Google & Meta Ads
Google Shopping, Performance Max and Meta Ads for online stores
Online stores need two kinds of advertising. Google Shopping and Performance Max catch people already searching for your products. Meta Ads find buyers who don’t know you yet. Treating them the same way either starves growth or wastes budget, so each gets its own job, its own targets and its own reporting.
- Product feed fixed first: titles, images, prices, GTINs and availability, because Shopping ads are built from your feed.
- Campaigns split by margin and best sellers, so high-profit products get the budget they earn.
- Brand searches kept out of Performance Max, so returning customers aren’t counted as new growth.
- New Meta creative tested every week, because ad fatigue sets in fast on social.
- Targets set from your break-even ROAS, calculated from your real margins, not a generic number.
- Email and SMS flows running underneath, so paid traffic that doesn’t buy the first time still has a way back.
Keywords
Searches we bid on, and the ones we block
Every store’s keywords are different, but the waste looks the same. These are the patterns we use on every account.
We bid on
We block
best [product] for [use]
how to make [product], diy
[product] price, [product] sale
free [product], giveaway
[brand] + [product name]
[brand] login, order tracking, returns
[product] in stock, fast shipping
[product] jobs, wholesale (unless you sell it)
[competitor] vs [your brand]
[product] manual, repair, parts (unless you sell them)
gift ideas for [person]
used, second hand, rental
We don’t block price searches like “cheap [product]” by default: for many stores they convert well. And your own brand name is bid on separately, so it never hides inside Performance Max results.
Benchmarks
Ecommerce marketing benchmarks and budget
Clicks for online stores are cheaper than for service businesses, but margins are thinner, so your budget has to be planned around profit per order, not ROAS alone.
What US search clicks cost, by store category

A worked example
Your numbers will differ.
- Monthly ad budget$5,000
- Average click cost (Shopping)$1.00
- Clicks5,000
- Conversion rate2.5% → 125 orders
- Average order value$90 → $11,250 revenue
- ROAS2.25×
- Gross profit at 55% margin, after adsabout $1,190
A 2.25× ROAS looks healthy on a dashboard, but at a 55% margin it only just pays for itself. Repeat purchases and email turn it into real profit. That’s why we set targets from your margins, not from a ROAS number.
Try your own numbers in the budget calculatorTypical monthly ad budgets
| Store stage | Monthly revenue | Monthly ad spend |
|---|---|---|
| Starting | Under $30,000 | $1,500–$3,000 |
| Growing | $30,000–$250,000 | $3,000–$15,000 |
| Established | Over $250,000 | $15,000+ |
Ad spend only, before management fees. The right budget comes from your margins and stock; these ranges are our starting guidance.
How our fee works
- A flat monthly management fee based on what you need, never a percentage of your ad spend.
- Your ad budget is paid straight to Google and Meta, and you own the accounts.
- A 3-month start, then month to month.
- Your exact fee comes with your free audit.
Tracking
From click to profit: how we track it
Ad platforms happily report sales that overlap, or that would have happened anyway. We track every order through to profit, so the ads learn from real revenue.
-
01
Every purchase is tracked
Server-side tracking and the Meta Conversions API send each order to GA4, Google Ads and Meta, even when browsers block cookies.
-
02
Numbers are checked against your store
Platform sales are matched with Shopify or WooCommerce orders and refunds, so you see which numbers to trust.
-
03
Margins are added
Product costs, shipping and fees turn revenue into profit per campaign and per product.
-
04
Bidding follows profit
Value-based bidding and margin-based targets push budget toward the products and campaigns that actually make money.
Before you hire
How to choose an ecommerce marketing agency
Ask any agency these five questions before you sign. The answers tell you more than their sales deck.
-
Do I own my ad accounts, pixel, Merchant Center and email platform?
If you leave, you should keep every account, audience and flow.
-
How do you measure success?
Profit and new customers, checked against your store’s orders, beats platform-reported ROAS.
-
How do you charge?
A flat fee keeps the agency focused on your results. A percentage of ad spend rewards them for spending more.
-
What will you fix before spending more?
Tracking, the product feed and the checkout come first. An agency that jumps straight to scaling is guessing.
-
What’s the minimum term, and what happens after it?
Long lock-ins protect the agency, not you.

FAQ
Ecommerce marketing FAQs
How much should an ecommerce store spend on ads?
Many growing stores spend $1,500–$15,000 a month on ads, plus a management fee. The right amount depends on your margins, average order value and stock. Start with enough budget for your best-selling products to get steady sales, then scale what stays profitable.
What is a good ROAS for ecommerce?
It depends on your margin. Your break-even ROAS is 1 divided by your gross margin, so a store with a 50% margin breaks even at 2× and a store with a 25% margin at 4×. Anything above break-even is profit, before repeat purchases.
Should I start with Google Shopping or Meta Ads?
Start with Google Shopping if people already search for what you sell. Start with Meta Ads if your product is new or visual and needs to be discovered. Most growing stores end up running both, with email underneath.
Is Performance Max worth it for online stores?
Usually yes, with a clean product feed, correct conversion values and your brand searches kept separate. Without those, Performance Max often takes credit for customers who were already coming back.
Why do Shopify, Google Ads and Meta show different sales numbers?
Each platform uses its own attribution window and often counts the same order. Privacy settings also hide some conversions. We use your store’s orders as the source of truth and set up server-side tracking so the platforms get more complete data.
Do I need email marketing if I run ads?
Yes. Welcome, abandoned cart and post-purchase flows bring shoppers back without paying for another click, and they usually lift the profit from every ad dollar.
Does SEO work for online stores?
Yes, especially for collection pages and products people search by name or type. Better titles, descriptions, product structured data and speed usually show results in 3–9 months, and those sales carry no cost per click.
How long does ecommerce marketing take to work?
Shopping and Performance Max campaigns usually bring sales within days, but they need a few weeks to learn, so judge results after about 90 days. SEO takes longer, usually 3–9 months.
