Google charges on a cost-per-click model, each time your advert is clicked. The CPC varies by vertical based on a number of factors including market competition, feed optimisation, campaign structure and quality score.
When running shopping and search campaigns in parallel, we’ve established shopping campaigns typically deliver a lower CPC than search campaigns. The prime benefit here is we’re able to stretch our clients marketing budgets.
Budget requirements will depend upon your marketing objectives and how many items you wish to promote within your Google shopping campaign. We generally recommend a minimum monthly investment of £1,500 for smaller merchants, £10,000 for medium sized merchants, and £25,000+ for larger e-commerce sites.
