Your feed decides what Smart Bidding can scale

ROAS

Revenue ÷ Ad spend

Merchant Center feeds power Shopping and Performance Max. Without margin signals, Google prefers high-revenue or discounted heroes that can destroy contribution margin.

POAS

Gross profit ÷ Ad spend

Profit Bid maps live POAS tiers to custom_label fields in Merchant Center — exclude X products, prioritize A products, and keep Shopping spend on profitable inventory.

  • A/C/X labels refreshed from store order economics.
  • Works with existing Merchant Center / Shopping feeds.
  • Pairs with Google Ads POAS conversion upload for a full loop.
  • Refunds and COGS changes restate which SKUs stay in A vs X.

Analytics

Google Merchant Center labels driven by store POAS

Map A/C/X profitability tiers into Merchant Center custom labels so Shopping and Performance Max only scale SKUs that protect contribution margin.

  • A/C/X product labels
  • Merchant Center profit bidding

Shopping waste after X-label exclusions

Indexed spend
  • Spend on sub-breakeven SKUs
  • Spend on A-label SKUs

Excluding X-label products from broad Shopping/PMax typically reallocates budget toward A-label margin winners.

Catalog share by POAS label

  • A — scale28%
  • C — caution47%
  • X — exclude25%

Labels refresh from live store POAS — not a one-time margin spreadsheet.

Enable Merchant Center label sync, then pair with Google Ads POAS conversion upload.
