Typical pricing includes a flat monthly fee plus a percentage of ad spend (often 7–15%) based on catalog size, complexity, and goals. The right model should align to ROI and include proactive optimization time.

There is no platform minimum; CPCs can start as low as $0.01. Budgets range from a few dollars per day to six figures, depending on inventory breadth and target ROAS. Start with a budget that can deliver statistically valid data against your goals.

We use negative keywords (where applicable), campaign/prioritization structures, audience exclusions, and product group refinements. Regular search term mining and feed improvements reduce irrelevant matches.

We audit feed attributes, site policies (returns, contact info), shipping/tax settings, and pricing parity. Then we correct violations, submit appeals, and implement monitoring to prevent recurrences.
