Google ShoppingPerformance MaxEcommerce

Every product sorted into winners and losers.

In a Shopping or Performance Max campaign, a handful of products take most of the budget and a long tail spends without selling. I use AI to sort every product by what it actually earns, then scale the winners and exclude the losers.

Where it runs

Ecommerce accounts with real catalogs, including a US medical equipment retailer with about 650 products, and my own stores.

Big catalogs hide waste. Google reports by campaign, so a product that has spent hundreds without a sale can sit quietly inside a campaign that looks fine.

The problem

  1. Averages hide products. A campaign at a decent ROAS can contain products that lose money every day.
  2. Google's numbers aren't the whole truth. Store orders, refunds and offline sales tell a different story per product.
  3. Nobody checks hundreds of products by hand.
  4. Winners get starved. A best seller inside Performance Max fights the long tail for the same budget.

What I built

  1. A product-level pull. Spend, clicks, conversions and value for every product over a set window.
  2. A cross-check with the store. Google's numbers matched to real orders, to get the true cost per sale for each product.
  3. Classification with rules. Winners, promising, losers and not enough data, with thresholds set by price tier so a $50 accessory and a $2,000 device aren't judged the same way.
  4. Winners scaled. Proven sellers move into their own campaign, so they get budget they don't have to fight for.
  5. Losers excluded. Products that spent past their limit without selling are excluded, and rechecked later.
  6. A sheet I can check. Every call is visible with the numbers behind it.

How it runs

StepWhat happens
01. PullProduct-level performance for the window.
02. MatchGoogle's numbers matched to store orders.
03. ScoreEach product placed in a group by its price tier rules.
04. ActWinners moved up, losers excluded.
05. RecheckGroups updated as seasons, prices and stock change.

What changed

  1. Spend moves from the long tail to the products that sell.
  2. Waste is found per product, not guessed per campaign.
  3. Every decision sits next to its numbers, so a client can sanity-check each one.

A campaign average is a comfortable lie. The product level is where the money is.

I run my own ecommerce brands, so every system I build has to hold up on a busy Monday, not just in a demo. I build the same kind of system for other businesses: I learn how yours works, decide what to automate, and build it.

Questions about Google Shopping product automation

Straight answers, from a system that runs every day.

How do I find which products waste money in Google Shopping?

Pull product-level performance for at least 30 days and sort by spend with zero or few conversions. Then check those against real store orders before cutting anything.

Should best sellers have their own campaign?

Usually yes. Inside Performance Max they compete with every other product for budget. Their own campaign protects them.

How often should products be reclassified?

Monthly works for most stores, more often around sales seasons. Products move between groups as prices, stock and seasons change.
