[Feed quality](https://oguzerol.com/en/product-feed-optimization/) and campaign structure are still areas that need manual optimization. ## What I do and who it’s for For Shopify stores that want to sell through Shopping or [Performance Max](https://oguzerol.com/en/what-is-performance-max/) in Google Ads: I set up the Merchant Center connection, conversion tracking and campaign structure together, then manage them. For stores that already advertise but aren’t sure about the results, I verify measurement first. ## Steps 1. **Store and app review:** Installed apps, the checkout flow and the current Merchant Center status are checked. 2. **Google & YouTube app:** The catalog is connected to Merchant Center and products sync. 3. **Feed fixes:** Titles, descriptions and product attributes are improved by hand; disapproved products are cleared. 4. **Conversion tracking:** Add-to-cart, begin-checkout and purchase events are mapped correctly, and value and currency are checked. For measurement concepts see Google’s [conversion measurement page](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/1722022). 5. **Campaign structure:** Campaigns and product groups are built around collections and margin groups. 6. **Monitoring and improvement:** Weekly checks on budget, products and search terms. ## Common mistakes - Tying the conversion goal to something that isn’t a real conversion, like a page view; bidding then learns the wrong target. - Counting the purchase event twice, or an empty value. - Trusting the feed and never editing titles. - Putting every product in one campaign: best sellers and slow sellers share one budget. - Out-of-stock products staying in ads. I cover the conversion side in detail on [e-commerce conversion tracking](https://oguzerol.com/en/e-commerce-conversion-tracking/), and the Merchant Center side on the [setup page](https://oguzerol.com/en/merchant-center-setup/). ## Shopify-specific points to watch When the theme or a checkout app changes, the conversion tag can break silently, so after a major update I re-verify the purchase event with a real test order. I also check how discount codes, shipping fees and taxes show up in the conversion value; if the value is wrong, bidding learns from the wrong number. For stores selling to several countries or currencies, I make sure the feed’s target country, language and currency settings match the price on the site. **How do we start?** First I review your store and the Shopify apps you already use. You can reach me from the [contact page](https://oguzerol.com/en/contact/). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Which Shopify app is needed? The official Google & YouTube app handles the Merchant Center connection and feed sync — no third-party plugin is needed. ### Is Shopify Plus any different? On Shopify Plus stores with checkout customization, [conversion tracking setup](https://oguzerol.com/en/ad-conversion-setup/) may need extra care, but the core integration is the same. ### How should I target subscription/recurring products? A bidding strategy that considers customer lifetime value gives more accurate results for these products than one-off sale logic. ### Isn’t the feed the app builds enough? It’s enough for syncing, usually not for performance: the app passes product data as it is, and search-friendly titles and correct categories need extra editing.

Work-hour packages Tell me about your business and what you need on WhatsApp or by phone; we agree on **a work block of somewhere between 5 and 40 hours** and I start doing what is needed. What you get is not a calendar window — it is net working hours spent directly on your business. I can use 40 hours working three days straight, or deliberately spread it out and finish it over a year — whatever the work calls for. I do not spend my time estimating how long something will take, I spend it doing the work; every hour I spend leaves a lasting result in your business. We keep going for as long as you find it useful. WORK BLOCKS ## Why not monthly? Is 40 hours a week? On a fixed monthly fee both sides are watching the wrong thing: you watch a fixed cost, the other side watches how many more contracts like this they can line up. Working by the hour puts us both in front of the same thing — the real value of the work that got done. I know not having an upfront answer to "how much will this cost in total?" is the natural cost of this model. But instead of paying a fixed fee for months to a setup that is not producing results, you only pay for the qualified time spent on your work — and you see exactly where that time went, start to finish. That is why my clients keep coming back. 5hours300€ + VAT60€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%205-hour%20work%20block.) 10hours500€ + VAT50€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2010-hour%20work%20block.) 20hours800€ + VAT40€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2020-hour%20work%20block.) 40hours1,400€ + VAT35€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2040-hour%20work%20block.)
