scale google ads before fixing checkout conversion
Don’t scale Google Shopping into a broken checkout. Scan guest, OOS, and dead links first — then raise budget on a clean funnel.
The actual problem
Increasing Google Ads budget while checkout leaks remain multiplies wasted spend.
Do this
- Baseline purchase CVR and CPA for 14 days before any budget increase.
- Run a checkout audit (guest, OOS buyable, stacking discounts, broken extensions).
- Fix anything that can move CVR ≥10% relative before raising daily budget.
- Only then scale winners — message-match ads to one landing offer.
