FREQUENTLY ASKED

Does the Google & YouTube Shopify app set up conversion tracking?

No. It sets up the product feed and Google tag, but you still need to configure conversion actions in Google Ads manually. Missing this step means your campaigns optimize for clicks instead of purchases.

What Google Ads campaigns should I start with for Shopify?

Start: Standard Shopping campaign for your top-selling products with target ROAS bidding. Once you have 30+ conversions, add a Performance Max campaign. Add brand Search campaign when brand search volume justifies it.

Can I use Shopify Markets with Google Shopping?

Yes. Google Merchant Center supports multi-country feeds. Configure your Shopify Markets settings and sync separate feeds per market with correct pricing, currency, and language for each country.
