Ecommerce PPC management that is paid to grow your margin, not your ad spend

Most ecommerce brands we meet have the same three problems. One Shopping or Performance Max campaign carries the whole catalogue, so the best-selling low-margin lines eat the advertising budget. The platform reports a return on ad spend that looks healthy while the bank balance says otherwise. And nobody can say which sales the ads actually caused.

Edge Digital is a Shopify Partner and Google Partner agency based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, working with Shopify, WooCommerce and headless stores across the UK. Our ecommerce PPC specialists build Google Shopping, Performance Max and paid search campaigns and Meta campaigns from the product feed up: product feed optimisation and clean data, account structure segmented by margin and intent, brand traffic kept separate so it cannot flatter the numbers, and a target ROAS set from your real gross margin rather than a round number.

Then we measure it properly. Marketing efficiency ratio and contribution margin alongside platform ROAS, server-side conversion tracking and Google Analytics 4 set up so Meta and Google see the same sales, and a monthly report that a finance director can read.

The results follow. Hollow Head Threads, a Shopify fashion brand, saw a 197% increase in online sales in the first month after we rebuilt the PPC campaigns and the landing pages and conversion rate together, with conversion rate up from 1.2% to 2.3%. More success stories are on our case studies page.

If you are looking for an ecommerce PPC agency in the UK that talks about margin before it talks about budget, book a discovery call. If you already run Shopping ads or Performance Max, the free PPC audit further down is the fastest way to find out what is being wasted.

Google Shopping and Performance Max

Google Shopping campaigns structured around margin

The feed is the campaign. Fix that first.

Google Shopping ads and Performance Max run on your product feed, so that is where our ecommerce PPC services start: titles rewritten for how people search, GTINs, product types and custom labels for margin, price band and seasonality, and Merchant Center kept free of disapprovals. Campaigns are then split by margin and intent rather than one catch-all, with brand terms excluded from Performance Max campaigns so the numbers are honest. Industry data puts Shopping ROAS between 3:1 and 6.5:1 depending on category, and Performance Max 10 to 20% above Standard Shopping for most catalogues (FoundryCRO and Koongo, 2026). Where you land in that range is decided by structure, feed quality and margin, which is the work we do.

Search, Meta and the other PPC platforms

Google Ads search, Meta and the other PPC platforms

Both channels, one plan, one set of numbers.

Search ads catch the potential customers who already know what they want, and Google Search still posts the highest median return on ad spend of any ecommerce channel at around 4.5:1 (Hawky, 2026). Keyword research and compelling ad copy still matter here, and so does the landing page each search lands on. Meta creates the demand: prospecting averages around 2.2:1 and retargeting 3.6:1 in the same data, which is why we judge Meta on blended MER rather than on its own dashboard. As a Meta Business Partner we handle Conversions API and catalogue setup so tracking holds up as privacy rules tighten. Where the numbers justify it we add Microsoft Ads for cheaper clicks on the same search terms, YouTube video ads for launches and TikTok ads for brands with a younger audience, all run from one plan and reported in one place.

  • Feed and Google Ads account audit

    Product data, Merchant Center health, existing campaign structure and tracking, reviewed before we change anything.

  • Scale with rules, not hope

    Budget rules tied to margin, seasonal plans for Black Friday and other sales events, and new PPC platforms tested with small budgets before they earn more.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your gross margin, not on an industry average. Across ecommerce in 2026 the average return on ad spend is about 2.9:1 and the median only 2:1, while Google Search campaigns post a median around 4.5:1 and Shopping typically runs between 3:1 and 6:1 depending on the category (Hawky and FoundryCRO, 2026). We start by working out your break-even ROAS from margin and returns, then set sales targets above it. A 4:1 ROAS on a 30% margin product is losing money; a 2.5:1 on a 70% margin product is not.

Usually both. Performance Max delivers 10 to 20% higher ROAS than standalone Shopping for most catalogues, but it also absorbs brand searches and hides where the sales came from. We run Performance Max for the catalogue with brand terms excluded and asset groups split by margin, and keep Standard Shopping for lines where control matters more than reach. The mix is reviewed monthly on incremental revenue, not on the campaign the platform credits.

Around £3,000 a month across Google and Meta is the practical floor for an ecommerce account, because Shopping and Performance Max need conversion volume to optimise. Most of our ecommerce clients spend between £5,000 and £50,000 a month.

No. We are a Shopify Partner and most of our ecommerce clients are on Shopify, but the campaigns run on the product feed, so WooCommerce, BigCommerce and headless stores work the same way. If your feed is the problem, we fix the feed first.

Sales usually move within the first two to four weeks because the changes are structural: better feed data, tighter segmentation and brand leakage removed. Reaching a stable, profitable ROAS takes two to three months while the algorithms gather conversion data and we test creative and landing pages. We put both timelines in writing before we start.

Our PPC management fees start from £750 a month and are quoted as a flat figure rather than a percentage of ad spend, so we have no incentive to spend more of your money. Ad spend is paid directly to Google and Meta. We work on a rolling monthly agreement with 30 days’ notice, and the Google Ads account, Merchant Center and data stay in your name.
