Free checklist

A/C/X label setup sheet

A = amplify winners, C = continue / watch, X = exclude chronic loss makers. Walk this sheet once, then keep labels synced from live POAS.

Checklist

  1. 01

    Define POAS floors per margin band

    Use the break-even ROAS calculator so thin-margin and thick-margin SKUs do not share one impossible target.

  2. 02

    Enable Product Labeling (Pro+)

    In Profit Bid, open Product Labeling and confirm your plan includes labels. Trial does not include smart product labels.

  3. 03

    Connect Merchant Center XML / labels path

    Follow Docs → Merchant Center labels so custom labels reach the feed Google Shopping uses.

  4. 04

    Build campaign filters on labels

    Create or adjust Shopping / PMax asset groups to include A (and optionally C) and exclude X.

  5. 05

    Re-check after promos

    Discount weeks flip winners into losers. Re-run labels after major sales before you scale budget again.

What A, C, and X mean

Profit Bid can push custom labels to Merchant Center based on product POAS so Shopping and PMax campaigns can include or exclude SKUs by profit zone — not just revenue ROAS.

  • A — strong POAS; scale in dedicated campaigns or higher budgets.
  • C — near target; keep in feed, watch weekly.
  • X — below floor repeatedly; exclude from Shopping / PMax.

Frequently asked questions

Can I label products manually in Merchant Center?

Yes, but manual labels drift. Profit Bid syncs from live POAS so exclusions stay honest as costs and returns change.

Do labels replace profit conversion upload?

No. Upload profit values for Smart Bidding and use labels to keep chronic loss makers out of the auction.
