Feed Audit & Title Optimisation

Your Shopping titles haven't changed. Your search data has.

Most product titles are written once and never revisited. Over time, the gap between what your titles say and what customers actually search for keeps growing — and every missed search is a sale that went to a competitor instead.

See which searches are triggering each product — and which high-value terms aren't in your title

Where Standard Shopping campaigns are running, the last 30 days of search queries are pulled from Google Ads and mapped against each product title. You'll see which high-volume and high-converting terms are missing — and they become the foundation for the rewrite.

Note: search query data is available for Standard Shopping campaigns only. Performance Max accounts receive a category-level insights summary instead — full attribute audit and title rewrites are still delivered.

  • Top 3 converting search terms identified separately

23 out of 27 conversions came from terms not in the current title. Rewrites could recover this intent directly.

Every rewrite is built from what your shoppers actually search

Titles are rebuilt using the search terms that drive conversions — not generic keyword guesses. Each rewrite targets 70–80 characters, incorporates your highest-performing queries, and follows the right pattern for your catalogue type (DTC or reseller).

  • Reseller pattern: Brand → Type → Attribute → Size → Model
  • DTC pattern: Brand → Hero Descriptor → Line → Differentiator → Variant
  • Character count shown before and after
  • Which search terms informed each rewrite shown clearly

  • Disapprovals and missing brand weighted highest
  • High impressions + low CTR flagged as title problems
  • Converting queries not in title scored separately
  • Colour-coded: red critical, amber medium, green good

Find the searches triggering the wrong products

Where Standard Shopping campaigns are running, search terms are analysed for intent mismatches — queries triggering products they don't match. These become negative keyword candidates, or signal that a product title needs to be more specific to stop attracting the wrong traffic.

Available for Standard Shopping campaigns only. Not applicable for Performance Max-only accounts.

  • Mismatched search-to-product pairings identified
  • Negative keyword candidates recommended per campaign
  • Title specificity fixes noted where relevant
  • Wasted spend estimate included per term

What to know before you start

Search Query Analysis

The search query layer — which search terms triggered each product and how they perform — requires at least one Standard Shopping campaign running alongside Performance Max. Standard Shopping exposes full search term data per product via the Google Ads API. Performance Max hides this data.

Access Required

Grant user access in Google Ads and Google Merchant Center — Standard access is sufficient. No CMS login, no developer needed, no spreadsheets to prepare.

Why Standard Shopping Still Matters

Performance Max consolidates everything into one campaign — but that comes at a cost. You lose per-product search term visibility, control over which queries trigger which products, and the ability to apply negative keywords at the campaign level. Google decides what to show, to whom, and when.

Running a Standard Shopping campaign alongside Performance Max restores that visibility — and often improves overall account efficiency. Search terms are attributed per product, negatives can be applied precisely, and you retain a lever that Performance Max simply doesn't offer. For feed optimisation, it also means the audit runs with complete, product-level data rather than category-level summaries.

Is this right for you?

  • 🛒

    E-Commerce Stores Running Shopping

    If you're spending on Shopping campaigns but your feed has never been audited, you're almost certainly leaving money on the table.

  • 📦

    Large or Complex Catalogues

    The more SKUs you have, the more hidden issues compound. An audit quickly surfaces what's dragging performance down.

  • 📉

    Declining ROAS or Impression Share

    If Shopping performance has dropped without an obvious cause, feed quality is usually the culprit.

  • 🚀

    Pre-Launch or Pre-Scale

    Before pushing budget into Shopping, get the feed right first. A clean feed means every dollar works harder from day one.
