Tracking & data quality
Smart Bidding optimises for the values it receives. We implement server-side tagging, Consent Mode v2 and enhanced conversions and pass Google the contribution margin per order instead of gross revenue. This is where every project starts for us.
| Event | Value | Match vs. shop | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| purchase (server-side) | Contribution margin | 99.2% | Active |
| enhanced_conversions | Email, hashed | 94.0% | Active |
| consent_update | Consent Mode v2 | n/a | Active |
| refund (ERP, 30 days) | Feedback loop | 71.5% | In progress |

How the engagement runs
Four phases, clear ownership, no surprises on the invoice.

Audit
We go through your account, product feed, Merchant Center and tracking in detail. You get an honest assessment, including when it says you do not need us right now.
- 21 week
Strategy
Targets, contribution margin model, account structure and a prioritised 90-day roadmap. Before the first click, everyone knows what we optimise for.
- 3weeks 4 to 8
Rebuild
We rebuild instead of nudging: feed architecture, campaign structure, server-side tracking, asset production. All documented, all inside your account.
- 4ongoing
Scale
Weekly iteration, monthly review with you, budget shifted to wherever marginal contribution still holds up. Plus a dashboard you can read without us.
How we work with you
We work like part of your team, not like a vendor.
No ticket queue, no waiting, no rotating contacts. This is what day-to-day with us looks like.
One fixed point of contact
One person runs your account for the entire engagement, from audit to scaling. No handover after kickoff, no junior just executing.
Direct line via Slack
We work in a shared Slack channel and are reachable there at any time. Questions, approvals and quick alignments happen directly, without email ping-pong.
Weekly or biweekly calls
A fixed slot in the calendar where we go through numbers, decisions and next steps. You pick the cadence that fits your team.
Integrated into your team
We plug into your existing workflows: shop team, marketing, leadership. With access to your tools and in your meetings when it matters.
Frequently asked questions
What ad budget do we need for this to make sense?
Our model works from roughly €15,000 in monthly media spend. Below that we honestly recommend a one-off setup plus training instead of ongoing management. We are happy to advise on that too.
How do you price your work?
A fixed monthly retainer based on account size and complexity, optionally with a performance component tied to contribution margin. We deliberately do not take a percentage of ad spend. That would create the wrong incentive.
What is the minimum term?
Three months, because a rebuild plus one full learning cycle cannot produce reliable answers any faster. After that, monthly.
Do you also run Meta, TikTok or SEO?
No. We do Google: Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Demand Gen and YouTube. For other channels we are glad to recommend partners we work with regularly.
