Categorize your SKUs in Zentail with the appropriate Google Shopping Category.
For many of your SKUs, this is done automatically via Smart Types.
Zentail's tech team will configure your Google Shopping product data feed and Adwords strategy:
SKUs will flow into your Merchant Center, Zentail will optimize your feed based on category requirements and errors due to missing data. You will be responsible for adding any missing required data in Zentail for your SKUs.
Zentail will ask you for your daily budget and your desired Effective Commission (adspend / attributable revenue). We recommend $100 daily budget and 15% Effective commission.
Zentail will implement your initial strategy based on our analysis of your product catalog.
Zentail will automatically optimize your cost-per-click bids based on key data points including conversion rate.
An Adwords certified engineer will oversee your campaign and make adjustments to ensure your Effective Commission is achieved and stable. If your daily budget is not sufficient to address the demand for your catalog on Google Shopping, the engineer will request permission to raise your daily budget.

We recommend that you sign up if and only if you feel you can provide 4.5/5 service or higher.
