What is a Google Ads waste check?
A Google Ads waste check is a focused review of your Shopify store’s Google Ads setup. I look for obvious problems such as poor campaign structure, weak product data, Merchant Center issues, tracking errors, rejected products, low-quality traffic and landing pages that may not be converting properly.
Who is this free Google Ads audit for?
This free Google Ads audit is best suited to Shopify store owners in Sydney or Australia who are already running Google Ads, Performance Max or Shopping campaigns and want to understand where their budget may be leaking before they spend more.
Why is my Performance Max campaign spending but not converting?
Performance Max campaigns can spend without converting when the product feed, conversion tracking, audience signals, creative assets, campaign goals or landing pages are weak. The issue is not always the budget. Sometimes Google is being given poor data or poor signals, which affects performance.
Can you check my Google Merchant Center account?
Yes. Google Merchant Center is often where Shopify Google Ads problems begin. I can review product disapprovals, feed errors, missing attributes, weak product titles, incorrect categories, pricing mismatches, stock availability issues and other problems that may affect Shopping and Performance Max campaigns.
Why are my Shopify products not showing properly in Google Shopping?
Common reasons include Merchant Center disapprovals, missing GTINs, incorrect product categories, weak product titles, policy issues, price mismatches, stock mismatches, feed sync problems or product data that does not match your Shopify store clearly enough.
Can you review my Shopify product feed?
Yes. I can review your Shopify product feed for issues that may be limiting Google Shopping and Performance Max performance. This can include product titles, descriptions, categories, images, variants, stock status, pricing, attributes and feed quality.
Can you help fix conversion tracking issues on Shopify?
Yes. Tracking problems can cause Google Ads to optimise toward the wrong signals or underreport sales. I can review obvious issues with Google Ads conversions, GA4, purchase events, enhanced conversions and Shopify checkout tracking.
Why is my Google Ads ROAS low for my Shopify store?
Low ROAS can be caused by wasted spend, weak product data, poor campaign structure, bad tracking, uncompetitive pricing, low-converting product pages, unclear shipping messaging or Google Ads optimising toward the wrong conversion actions. A waste check helps identify the most obvious issues first.
Do I need to give you access to my Google Ads account straight away?
No. You can start by sending your Shopify store URL and a short summary of what is happening with your Google Ads. If a deeper review is needed, I’ll explain exactly what access would be required before anything else happens.
What ad budgets do you usually work with?
This free waste check is best suited to Shopify stores already spending at least $2,000 per month on Google Ads, or stores preparing to scale. Smaller stores can still enquire, but the clearest patterns usually appear when there is enough ad spend to review properly.
Is the free Google Ads waste check really free?
Yes. The free waste check is designed to identify obvious issues and give you a clearer view of what may be hurting performance. There is no hard sell and no obligation.
What happens after the free waste check?
If I find obvious issues, I’ll explain what they are and what should be fixed first. If it makes sense, I can also help clean up your Google Ads, Google Merchant Center, Shopify product feed, tracking or landing page setup properly.
Do you only work with Sydney Shopify stores?
I am Sydney-based and this page is focused on Sydney Shopify stores, but I can also work with Shopify businesses across Australia.
Can you manage my Google Ads after the audit?
Yes, if there is a good fit. The audit is designed to identify the main issues first. If your account needs ongoing management, feed optimisation or Shopify conversion improvements, I can explain the best next steps.
Can you audit my Shopify Google Ads setup?
Yes. I can review your Shopify Google Ads setup to identify obvious issues across Performance Max, Google Merchant Center, product feeds, conversion tracking, product pages and landing pages. The goal is to find where budget may be leaking before you spend more.
Why is my Shopify Google Ads campaign spending but not converting?
Google Ads can spend without converting when the campaign is getting poor signals. Common causes include weak product feed data, poor conversion tracking, low-quality traffic, uncompetitive pricing, unclear landing pages, weak product pages or Performance Max campaigns optimising toward the wrong goals.
Why is my Performance Max campaign not working for my Shopify store?
Performance Max depends heavily on clean product data, accurate tracking, strong conversion signals and good landing pages. If your Shopify feed, Merchant Center account or conversion tracking is weak, Performance Max may spend budget without delivering profitable sales.
Can you check my Google Merchant Center and Shopify product feed?
Yes. I can check for obvious Google Merchant Center and Shopify product feed issues, including disapproved products, missing attributes, weak product titles, incorrect categories, price mismatches, stock problems, variant issues and feed sync errors.
What does a Shopify Google Ads audit include?
A Shopify Google Ads audit can include a review of Performance Max, Google Merchant Center, product feed quality, conversion tracking, product page issues, landing page friction, wasted spend signals and obvious problems that may be holding back ROAS.
Why are my Shopify products not showing in Google Shopping?
Shopify products may not show properly in Google Shopping because of Merchant Center disapprovals, missing GTINs, weak product titles, incorrect product categories, policy issues, price mismatches, stock mismatches or product feed sync problems.
Why is my Google Ads ROAS low for my Shopify store?
Low Google Ads ROAS can be caused by wasted spend, poor product feed data, weak campaign structure, bad tracking, uncompetitive offers, low-converting product pages, unclear shipping information or Google Ads optimising toward the wrong conversion actions.
Can you help fix Google Ads conversion tracking on Shopify?
Yes. I can review obvious Shopify conversion tracking issues involving Google Ads conversions, GA4, purchase events, enhanced conversions and checkout tracking. Poor tracking can cause Google Ads to optimise from bad data and make performance look worse than it really is.
Do you offer ongoing Shopify Google Ads support?
Yes. If the audit shows serious issues, I can help with ongoing Google Ads management, Performance Max optimisation, Google Merchant Center cleanup, product feed improvements, conversion tracking and Shopify landing page recommendations.
Why choose a Shopify Google Ads specialist instead of a general agency?
A Shopify Google Ads specialist understands how Google Ads, Performance Max, Google Merchant Center, product feeds, tracking and Shopify product pages work together. That matters because poor performance is often caused by issues across the whole setup, not just the ad campaign.
