We noticed that it was impossible to constantly run a profitable business, let alone scale, from bidding with the best intentions for keywords.
Online advertising with Google Ads and Google Shopping gave us the opportunity to grow rapidly, but without a data-driven strategy, our bank account dwindled just as quickly. We noticed that it was impossible to constantly run a profitable business, let alone scale, from bidding with the best intentions on Google Adwords keywords & Google Shopping products.
This led us to the key question: how can we make our advertisements for new products grow as fast as possible in terms of turnover in a profitable way?
Thanks to our background in software engineering, we started our own Google Ads management softwares to develop, based on mathematical algorithms that we use to maximize profits on product level. Our focus went beyond keywords. Instead of bidding on keywords, we look at marketing from the product: Profit optimization from the margins of all items placed in orders, per item and per country.In this way, things such as price compared to competition, scarcity/niche items, runners, etc., can be recognized and divided into various marketing segments.We segment products data-driven based on performance and profit goals in various campaigns, each with its own goal and cost limitation.. This is how our unique, data-driven Google Ads campaign structure was created, with which we have been successful for years.
Testing Phase — For products without data, we use a controlled budget and a secure Google ads bid starting bid. It is not desirable to run these test products in an automated strategy such as Google Shopping Performance Max as there is no data for these products yet. By isolating these products in a classic Google Shopping campaign on a limited Google Ads Bid, we can safely test whether a product can be successful on a limited budget at Google Shopping and in Google ads.
Mid Funnel — When a product achieves its first sales & in your range target return moves, we move the product to the Mid Funnel. Here we work with the average return we want to achieve across the entire Google Ads campaign. We control the Mid Funnel as a kind of cuisecontrol with a target return algorithm. You can see the Mid Funnel strategy as a kind of growth greenhouse, where we grow the products into a Profit Star or Revenue Star.
Bleeders — Products that generate lots of impressions and clicks without sales go to the Bleeders segment. Here, we set a layer of Google Ads bid so that the product is still visible in Google Shopping, but does not consume a large part of the Google Ads budget. This is a very important part of our strategy. Typically, products that we mark as Bleeders consume up to 70% of your budget. Just imagine how many extra sales you can make if you bet this 70%, which is also at a loss, on your most profitable products.
Exactly this is what we do; after 20 years of testing, this appears to be making the biggest impact. Through this segmentation, we save an average of 70% of the budget that would otherwise be lost to non-converting clicks. We can invest this saved budget in PPC campaigns with the highest chance of profit, so that we achieve our goals with smart bid adjustments and a proven PPC management strategy.
Rising Stars — Google Shopping products that perform enormously above your target return (thus by far the most profitable) are given the highest priority and go to the Rising Stars-category. Here they get a unlimited budget. This sounds scary but is essential to our strategy. After all, if a product, for example, earns 16x its PPC deposit, you, as a real entrepreneur, want to keep selling it indefinitely? However, it is important to sit on top of this like a hawk. That's where our algorithms come in. When a product with an unlimited budget no longer reaches its x16 but moves towards the return of the Mid Funnel, we automatically move the product to the Mid Funnel with our Google Ads Manager Software and the product also has a limited Google Ads budget fully automatically. NOTE: if you use an unlimited budget strategy, always automate your limits, otherwise this can go wrong.
Revenue Stars — Years of data analysis show that 80% of the turnover comes from only a maximum of 20% of the products (the well-known 80/20 rule or the Pareto Principle). In addition to your Profit Stars for creating extra room in return, your Revenue Stars are essential for achieving your sales growth, an important segment. We put these products in a special segment where we optimize each product for a maximum sale/profit ratio.
Profit Stars - The products that perform far above your target return.
You literally want to give it unlimited space, yes, you heard it right, really unlimited. Suppose a product sells at a 1500% return, why wouldn't you want to invest €10 000 to generate €150 000 in sales? Note: unlimited budgets can be extremely dangerous if you set it manually. Since we control the campaign structures using our own software, a product will automatically fall back into another segment with budget restrictions and other bids/goals as soon as it is not a Profit Star.
For 20 years, the above structure has been our blueprint for success, with this blueprint, we became the market leader within 2 years.
From that point on, other webshop entrepreneurs wondered how we could grow so fast without external capital.
Our secret, we reinvested as our profit & in our most profitable Google Ads campaigns, creating an unlimited flywheel.
From that point in time (that's what we're talking about 20 years ago), other E Commerce entrepreneurs also asked if we could also market their webshop and achieve the same growth for them.
We have been nominated with an FD Gazellen Award for 7 years in a row. Last year, we were even among the TOP 10 fastest growing companies in the Netherlands with an international customer portfolio.

We work together with:
Data is key to growth. That's why we prefer to literally use every customer interaction with our own Server-Side Tracking. This innovative method of collecting and analyzing data is the solution for dealing with restrictions such as cookie blocking and stricter privacy rules.
With Server-Side Tracking, data is stored directly on a special server that we set up for you and then sent via API to the marketing channels, instead of via the browser/cookies. This means that you data more reliable and secure is being processed. For e-commerce entrepreneurs, this is essential: you get a full insight into the behavior of your customers, even if they block tracking cookies. The result? More conversions, better targeting, and higher returns.
As an e-commerce entrepreneur, your primary goal is to maximize the impact of your marketing budget. At GMU, we understand this inside and out. That’s why we help your business grow with smart solutions like Enhanced Conversions in Google Ads.
This advanced tracking technology ensures you can accurately measure every conversion, even when traditional cookies fall short. Enhanced Conversions utilizes additional data points, such as "add to cart" actions and product clicks, all encrypted securely and fully compliant with privacy regulations. This allows us to gather more actionable data and measure the relationship between Google Ads clicks and actual sales.
With this insight, we can identify early on which products receive significant clicks but fail to convert into sales. It’s a perfect solution for e-commerce entrepreneurs who want to pinpoint where their revenue comes from and seize every opportunity to grow their business.
As an e-commerce entrepreneur, you want to make your products visible to the right target group at the right time. That's why our services include making sure your ads stand out and convert with smart strategies for Google Shopping PPC and Performance Max campaigns.

Google Shopping is the tool for showing your products right at the top of Google, complete with images, prices, and reviews. But to get real results, you need to do more than just upload your product feed. With our expertise, we optimize your products in Google Merchant Center down to the last detail.
Many entrepreneurs underestimate the impact of traditional Google Search Ads (previously known as Google AdWords). As the name “Google AdWords” suggests, the focus of Search Ads is primarily on keywords. The impact of this is significant because Google AdWords ads always appear above SEO positions, with up to four ads displayed at the top.
1. The keywords have become quite sophisticated on the basis of pay per click and therefore rarely achieve the desired return.
2. You measure keywords and not products in your return data analysis, so controlling margin & returns is almost impossible as you advertise on a keyword and not on a product.
Using our own Marketing Software, we measure the ratio between clicks and turnover based on all keywords. Through this data analysis, we set up the Google Adwords campaigns based on our own technique: Focus Conversions. Instead of advertising on generic keywords with a high cpc, we analyse the keywords that ensure profitable conversions via your SEO channels, among others. These are often the so-called longtail keywords such as “brand + type”. Logical! But why doesn't my current marketing agency use this technique in their Google ads keyword plan, I hear you think... The answer is simple, we soon talk about hundreds or sometimes thousands of keywords, all of which require their own ad and preferably multiple ads. If you were to have this done on an hourly basis, this will cost you more than it will bring you.
You've likely heard the saying: Exactly. That's why we've implemented something smart in our software. We measure the relationship between the keyword, conversion data (your return), and the product. If it meets our objectives, our software automatically creates an ad based on the keyword and product content.
In addition to Google Shopping, this technique also allows us to achieve your goals on Google Search Ads/Google AdWords.
That's why we implement an 7 to 9 touchpoints required to become your customer. That's why remarketing is essential, but you don't want to spend too much on it.

Met behulp van , deze bezoekers worden opgeslagen als een Google Ads Remarketing segment.
With Google Display Ads, we can use visual banners and advertisements to show your products to specific target groups based on their behavior & interests. We therefore use Google Display Ads as Remarketing, targeting the 97% who did not buy based on behavior and interests, using the previously stored server side tracking data to place your products in display ads where they have the most impact. This can be done on websites that match your niche.
Google Display Ads can significantly increase your turnover, if used properly.
As an e-commerce entrepreneur, it is essential to be visible to your target group in places where they spend their time online. Google Display Ads are the perfect way to promote your products or services through visual ads on millions of websites, apps, and YouTube. At GMU, we make sure that your Display Ads not only stand out, but also convert.
Some of the benefits of using Display Ads:
Wide range: Reach millions of potential customers via the comprehensive Google Display Network.
Targeted targeting: Show your best-performing products in dynamic ads to specific target groups, such as visitors who've viewed your products before.
Visual impact: With eye-catching banners and videos, you draw attention to your best-performing products and proactively achieve the 7 to 9 touchpoints that are on average necessary for a remarketing conversion.

At GMU, we optimize your sitelinks in a data-driven way for maximum impact and conversions. These links appear below the main ad and give users more choices. For mobile devices, our sitelinks are often interactive and take up extra screen space, increasing the chances of clicks.
