# Google Shopping Management in Mansfield > For most product retailers, Shopping outperforms text ads on cost per sale. It also fails silently when the feed is wrong, which it usually is. **Provider:** Web Design Mansfield (a dijitul company) **Location:** The Bungalow, 11 St John Street, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire NG18 1QJ **Phone:** 01623 272050 **Email:** info@web-design-mansfield.co.uk **Price:** From £150/month, excluding VAT **Canonical URL:** https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/google-shopping/ --- Shopping ads put the product, the price and a photograph directly in the search results. Somebody clicking has already seen what it looks like and what it costs, which is why they convert better than text ads for physical products. The whole thing runs on the product feed. Get the feed right and the campaigns largely work; get it wrong and products are disapproved, mispriced, or shown for entirely irrelevant searches with no obvious sign anything is amiss. There are also free product listings in Google Shopping, which almost no small retailer has claimed. ## What you get ### Merchant Centre set up and verified Including the free listings, which cost nothing and are routinely left unclaimed. ### A feed that is actually clean Titles written for how people search rather than how your supplier named it, correct GTINs, real availability, proper categorisation. This is where most of the performance comes from. ### Feed rules and automation So the feed stays right as stock and prices change, rather than being correct on the day it was built. ### Campaign structure by margin Your best products should not share a budget with loss leaders. Segmenting by margin and performance is where the profit is. ### Performance Max, kept on a lead It can work well for retail. Left unchecked it absorbs budget with limited visibility, so we run it with exclusions, brand controls and asset group discipline. ### Reported on return, not clicks Revenue and return on ad spend by product and category, so you can see what is genuinely profitable rather than what is merely busy. ## Why feeds fail The usual causes, in order of frequency: - Product titles taken straight from the supplier, which nobody searches for - Missing GTINs, which suppresses products from a large share of auctions - Availability out of step with real stock, causing disapprovals and wasted spend - Images that breach the rules — watermarks, borders, promotional text - Prices on the feed not matching prices at checkout, which is an automatic disapproval - Every product in one category, so bidding cannot discriminate at all ## The title rewrite The single highest-return change in most Shopping accounts is rewriting product titles. Suppliers name products for catalogues; customers search differently. "XJ400 Anti-Slip Compound 5L" becomes "Anti-Slip Floor Paint 5L — Grey, Interior and Exterior". The second is what somebody actually types. On a large catalogue this is automated with feed rules rather than done by hand. ## What affects the price Starting price: From £150/month (excluding VAT). - Catalogue size and how often products change - Whether the feed needs building or fixing - Whether Performance Max runs alongside standard Shopping - How many product categories need separate structure ## Local context — Mansfield Most Mansfield retailers we work with sell nationally through Shopping while also trading locally. That combination allows something useful: local inventory ads, showing what is genuinely in stock in your shop to people searching nearby. Very few independents use it, and for anyone with a physical shop and stock on shelves it turns online search into footfall. ## Also known as Google Merchant Centre Mansfield, shopping ads Mansfield, product feed management Mansfield, Performance Max Mansfield, ecommerce ads Mansfield. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much should I spend on Google Shopping? Start at £300 to £500 a month to gather enough data to optimise on, then scale what returns. Shopping is unusually easy to scale once the feed is clean and the structure is right. ### Do I need Performance Max? It is increasingly the default for retail and can work well. We run it alongside standard Shopping where possible, with brand exclusions and controls, so you can still see what is happening. ### Can I run Shopping ads without an ecommerce site? You need products with prices and a way to buy or enquire. Local inventory ads can work for a shop without full ecommerce, but you need a product feed either way. ### What is a good return on ad spend? It depends entirely on your margins. A 4:1 return is excellent at 20% margin and loss-making at 15% once other costs are counted. We work backwards from your actual margin rather than quoting a benchmark. ## Related services - [Ecommerce Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/ecommerce-web-design/): Online stores built around how your business actually operates. - [Google Ads Management in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/google-ads/): Paid search run tightly, reported honestly, judged on cost per enquiry. - [Ecommerce SEO in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/ecommerce-seo/): Getting product and category pages found — at catalogue scale. - [PPC Management in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/ppc-management/): Paid advertising across every channel that earns its place, reported as one number. - [Conversion Tracking in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/conversion-tracking/): Knowing which marketing actually produced the enquiry. - [Facebook & Instagram Ads in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/facebook-instagram-ads/): Reaching people who were not looking for you yet. --- Web Design Mansfield — Mansfield’s digital agency — websites, SEO and marketing that bring in work.
