The problem

Where things usually get stuck.

  • You spend EUR 2-15K/month on Google Ads without knowing which campaign actually drives revenue.
  • Performance Max is a black box: 60 to 80 percent of budget leaks to YouTube/Display when you want Shopping.
  • Your conversions are off — GA4 and Google Ads show 20-40 percent gaps, your enhanced conversions aren't set up.
  • Your Merchant Center feed has 200+ errors and warnings: 30 percent of your catalogue never serves.
  • Your current agency talks about "branding" and "visibility" — but can't tell you what each ad group brings in.
My solution

The approach I bring you.

  • A 4-step loop — Setup, Measurement, Analysis, Optimisation — run every week. Every decision logged in a shared Google Sheet.
  • Feed-Only PMax speciality: pure Shopping + Search, zero YouTube/Display, +60-80 percent ROAS observed vs classic PMax across the 13 Trappe accounts.
  • Strict catalogue segmentation into 3 buckets — Heroes (10-20 percent of SKUs that do 60-80 percent of revenue), Mid, Starved — each with its own budget and tROAS.
  • Bulletproof conversion tracking: GA4 + GTM + Google Ads + enhanced conversions + server-side CAPI via Stape. EMQ validation 8/10 in 5 days.
  • Proprietary 12-criteria scoring model to audit any PMax campaign in 30 minutes — delivered as a written report after the one-off audit.

The real questions

What founders tell me ask me before you sign.

Not the generic "why choose us" FAQ — the real questions about budget, timeline and scope you're asking yourself at 10pm.

A more specific question?
  • What's the minimum Google Ads budget to get started?

    For e-commerce, plan on €1,500 to €3,000 in monthly media spend to get usable signals on PMax. For B2B lead-gen, you can start at €1,000. Below those thresholds the algorithm doesn't learn and your decisions are basically coin flips.

  • Performance Max or classic Search?

    Both, properly structured. PMax Feed-Only for Shopping, classic Search for brand queries and the top transactional keywords you want to control manually. All-PMax loses you control; all-Search misses the Shopping upside.

  • Do you also do one-off audits?

    Yes — one-off audit on an existing account with a written report, scoring across 12 criteria and a prioritised action roadmap. Fixed-price, delivered within 7 working days. Ideal if you want a second opinion before changing agency.
