# Google Ads for Sports Shoes | Brand and Activity Targeting

[Oğuz Erol](https://oguzerol.com/en/about-me/)  |  1 min read

Sports shoe buyers usually search by activity — running, basketball, training — rather than by generic category. Structuring campaigns around activity intent captures much more qualified demand than [general shoe brand campaigns](https://oguzerol.com/en/shoe-brand/).

## Activity-based ad group structure

Each sport has distinct search language and distinct buyer priorities (cushioning, grip, weight). Ad groups organized by activity outperform generic “sports shoes” targeting.

## New model launches drive budget spikes

When a well-known brand releases a new model, search volume spikes sharply for a short window. Budget should be pre-allocated to capture this demand before it fades.

WHAT YOU CAN ASK FOR

## How do I work?
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.
