Shopping ads are one of the highest-ROI tools for e-commerce — but they perform best when they’re strategically integrated into a full-funnel digital marketing strategy, not run in isolation.
Here’s how EMILY® helps businesses embed Shopping Ads into a complete digital ecosystem for visibility, conversions, and sustainable growth:
🛍️ 1. Start with Feed Optimization as the Foundation
A well-optimized product feed powers:
Google Shopping
Meta Dynamic Product Ads
Pinterest, TikTok, and Bing Shopping
✅ EMILY uses tools like Google Merchant Center, Shopify integrations, and custom labels to prep your feed for multi-channel performance.
📈 2. Combine with Paid Search (Text Ads)
Shopping ads grab attention visually, while text ads capture high-intent queries like:
“Buy [product] online”
“Best [product category] near me”
“Affordable [brand/product] with free shipping”
✅ We run dual campaigns:
Shopping ads for product visibility
Search ads for branded, competitive, or long-tail queries
This maximizes your real estate on Google SERPs — and increases click share and conversion rate.
📣 3. Layer on Retargeting for Recovery and Reinforcement
Shopping ads get clicks — but many users don’t convert on the first visit.
✅ EMILY integrates:
Google Display Remarketing → Show the exact product they viewed
Meta Dynamic Ads → Remind users of abandoned carts
TikTok Collection Ads → Resurface browsed products in feed-style video
Retargeting adds 3x–6x ROAS when layered with Shopping campaigns.
🧠 4. Sync with Content + SEO Strategy
Use shopping ad performance data to inform:
SEO keyword targets (based on top queries)
Blog topics (e.g., “Best Sellers,” “Product Comparisons”)
On-page product content and internal linking
Shopping campaign insights help EMILY’s content team optimize landing pages and blog content that supports organic and paid traffic.
✉️ 5. Integrate with Email + CRM
Use product engagement data to segment email campaigns
Trigger cart abandonment emails featuring products viewed via Shopping Ads
Cross-sell or upsell with automated product follow-ups
✅ Connect Shopping Ad clicks to Klaviyo, Mailchimp, or HubSpot using UTM tags and CRM syncs.
📱 6. Use Social Commerce as an Extension
Upload the same feed used for Google to:
Facebook & Instagram Shops
TikTok Product Catalog
Pinterest Shopping Pins
EMILY repurposes your existing product feed to run shoppable social content, boosting cross-platform ROI with minimal extra setup.
📊 7. Centralize Reporting + Attribution
Don’t just run isolated reports by channel.
✅ EMILY builds cross-channel dashboards using:
Google Analytics 4 (Enhanced Ecommerce)
Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio)
Microsoft Clarity (behavior insights)
We track:
ROI by product, not just platform
Assisted conversions from Shopping Ads
Attribution across email, search, social, and retargeting
