One clean catalogue,
ads on every platform that reads it
Most catalogue ad problems are feed problems wearing an advertising costume. We check the feed first, every time, because a dynamic ad campaign is only ever as good as the data behind it, and a wrong price or dead link costs more than any bidding mistake.
Where the money leaks today
Catalogue ads run across multiple platforms frequently drift out of sync: a price changes on the site but not in the feed, a product goes out of stock but the ad keeps showing it, a category gets restructured and the feed does not follow. Each of these looks like a small data problem but shows up as wasted ad spend and, worse, a bad experience for a customer who clicks an ad for a product that is not actually available at that price.
The second common failure is running one blended catalogue campaign across a diverse product range instead of splitting by category or margin, which means a high-margin product and a loss-leader get the same bidding treatment.
A catalogue campaign is really two systems working together, the data feed and the bidding layer, and most underperformance traces back to the feed side even when it shows up as a bidding problem, which is why we check the feed first on every review, before touching a single bid or audience setting.
What we do
- One feed, checked daily. Automated checks for price mismatches, broken links, missing images and disapprovals, caught before they burn a day of ad spend.
- Dynamic retargeting by SKU. Cart abandoners and recent viewers shown the specific product they looked at, not a generic category ad.
- Splits that respect your margins. Campaigns structured by category or margin tier so high-value products are not bid on the same way as low-margin ones.
- Out-of-stock exclusion. Automated rules that pull a product from ads the moment it is unavailable, so spend never chases something that cannot be bought.
- Cross-platform consistency. The same core feed structure maintained across Meta, Google and TikTok Shop, adapted to each platform’s specific requirements.
What we need from you
- Access to your product feed, whether native to your e-commerce platform or a custom export.
- Ad account access on each platform you want catalogue ads running on.
- Inventory and pricing data that updates in near real time, or agreement on how often the feed should sync.
- Clarity on margin or priority tiers if you want campaigns split by profitability.
- A realistic view of your catalogue size, since feed quality work scales with the number of SKUs.
How we measure
We report by platform and by category, with feed health, error count, disapprovals, out-of-stock accuracy, tracked alongside ad performance, since the two move together and a dip in one usually explains a dip in the other. Dynamic retargeting is reported separately from cold-audience catalogue ads, as the two have very different expected conversion rates.
Monthly reporting flags any SKU-level pattern worth acting on, a category underperforming, a price point that is not converting, so catalogue decisions beyond advertising can also benefit from the data.
We also track time-to-fix for any feed error found, since a disapproval or price mismatch left unresolved for days quietly caps performance for the whole period it persists, often without triggering any alert on the platform’s own side.

FAQ
How much does this cost?
Both launch and monthly management start from $1,000, scaling with catalogue size and how many platforms you run catalogue ads on.
How long until we see results?
Launch takes 1 to 2 weeks, mostly for the feed audit and fixes. A reliable read takes about 4 weeks once the feed is clean and campaigns have run long enough to separate signal from noise.
What ad budget do we need alongside this?
A realistic minimum is a few hundred dollars a month per platform, scaling with catalogue size, since dynamic retargeting needs enough site traffic to populate the audiences it targets.
What do you need from us?
Feed access, ad account access per platform, near-real-time inventory and pricing data, and clarity on margin tiers if you want campaigns split by profitability.
How do you report on performance?
Monthly reporting by platform and category with feed health tracked alongside performance, and dynamic retargeting reported separately from cold-audience catalogue ads.
