Search term sharing for Google Shopping ads

The challenge: stagnation and costly learning cycle

Digital advertising is constantly evolving, and with it, the challenges faced by retailers. New and stagnated accounts often struggle with slow and costly learning processes when using automated bidding strategies. This sluggish pace severely impacts revenue growth and overall online presence.

A key issue faced by these accounts, and many others, is limited visibility of most products on effective search terms. While a few ‘hero products’ perform well, a vast portion of the catalogue often remains untapped due to a lack of exposure to high-performing and varied search terms.

The core feature: cross-SKU search term sharing

This new feature enables the sharing of high-performing search terms across similar products. This approach offers multiple advantages:

• Enhanced bid strategy: By assigning a higher intent to potentially good terms for specific SKUs, the feature optimises bids through Bidnamic’s intent-based bidding algorithm, ensuring better visibility and engagement.
• Advanced machine learning: Utilising state-of-the-art machine learning, the system identifies, applies, and ranks relevant terms for each product based on multiple product features. This AI-driven approach ensures high scalability, precision, and efficiency across all account types.
• Language agnosticism: In today’s global market, the ability to operate beyond language barriers is invaluable. Our new feature is designed to be language agnostic, making it versatile and universally applicable.
