Google Search for catalog stores
Build, guard, and read Google Search for catalog-scale stores. Start from the live catalog, split intent, verify demand, and approve ads before they spend.
Kopa is an agentic operating system for ecommerce. Built for stores doing 7 figures and up in annual revenue. Work stays in draft until your team approves it for publishing.
Build the negative keyword list before the first Google Search dollar
Attach negative keyword lists in the right match types before launch, so known junk searches never get the first click.
Strip discounts and competitor names your store cannot prove
Remove any discount, shipping promise, or competitor trademark that is not on the live store before a Search ad is allowed to run.
Sitelinks, callouts, and price assets only help when the URL is real
Add sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets, and price assets that each point at a page and a fact the store can stand behind.
Lock every Search headline to 30 characters and every description to 90
Count spaces and punctuation. A headline over 30 characters or a description over 90 is not a draft you can import.
Write three or four unpinned Search ads from the page, not from a prompt
Each ad group needs several Responsive Search Ads built from the landing page's real proof, with pins used only when a line must show.
Cap a Search campaign at 150 Phrase and Exact keywords
Keep proven terms in Phrase and Exact, delete empty ad groups, and size the list to the daily budget instead of opening Broad match.
Drop DIY, jobs, and how-to searches before they spend the budget
Keep buyer-intent phrases. Remove informational queries such as free, DIY, jobs, salaries, and how-to before they become keywords.
Stop your own ad groups from bidding against each other
Flag zero-volume terms and phrases a shorter keyword already covers, so two ad groups never bid on the same shopper.
Measure spellings, plurals, and accents as separate demand
Google often merges close variants. Check each spelling, plural, typo, and accent on its own so one live word does not invent demand for a dead one.
Check Google Keyword Planner twice before a keyword goes live
Run volume and CPC once on the seed list and again on the survivors, so a guessed or stale phrase never becomes a keyword.
Build bottom-of-funnel keywords from models, sizes, and problems
Draft the phrases buyers type: product and model names, sizes, use cases, and competitor terms. Then verify them. Do not stop at the category noun.
Separate brand searches from cold traffic before you trust ROAS
Put your own brand queries in their own campaign, and keep those terms out of non-brand and test ad groups so a familiar name cannot hide wasted spend.
Split Google Search into four buyer-intent buckets
Separate your own brand, bottom-of-funnel product fit, problem and use-case tests, and competitor searches so each budget has one job.
Match every Google Search ad group to a dedicated product or collection page
Map every Google Search ad group to its exact product or collection landing page instead of dumping paid clicks onto a generic homepage.
Stop Google Ads Final URL expansion from sending paid clicks to blog and policy pages
Block Final URL expansion and dynamic targets from routing paid Google Ads traffic to blog articles, shipping info, and return policy pages.
Audit ecommerce landing pages for conversion readiness before buying Google Search clicks
Check every target URL for a clear headline, specific USPs, customer reviews, mobile speed, and an unmistakable call to action before spending a dollar on Search.
Research local retailer shelf names before launching Google Search in a new market
Literal product translations miss the everyday words local buyers type. Check how local retailers in the target country name and categorize your products.
Scan store products, collections, and stock before building Google Search ads
Never draft Google Search campaigns from guesswork or stale spreadsheets. Scan live store products, collections, prices, and stock levels first.
