Hi everyone! I have a Performance Max campaign running — it's working fine. I also have a separate Brand Search campaign to protect my brand name, currently using Target Impression Share bidding. For the last 3 days there have been zero impressions. Could you please advise what bidding strategy would work better for Brand Search in this situation?

New resource for premium members! Q4 is where your year gets made or lost. Most stores work that out in November. Too late. So we stopped guessing and built the season. Two full books. 👇 📊 What sits behind it - +200 of our own client accounts. Fashion and Home Decor - 7 months of real shopping data per account. August through February. The actual AW season, not a forecast. - +100 accounts in a fixed year over year cohort, so we can prove a peak repeated instead of hoping it did. - 35 categories scored. Product titles read in 8 languages. - 94% of fashion revenue and 97% of home decor revenue classified into a category. Nothing hand waved. - Every single category laid over Google search demand, month by month. 🎯 What's inside both books → The Season at a Glance: every category placed by how big it is and how long it stays hot → The Five Big Bets for the niche → The Master Timeline: what to upload, and the LAST safe day to upload it → How Long Each Trend Burns: some run 7 months, some run 1 → Season Headwinds: what kills the season, so you see it before it hits you → The Category Playbook: the actual play, category by category → What the outside world predicts, checked against what we actually sold 😳 Three things in there that will annoy you → One fashion category is 29.4% of all fashion revenue on its own. Demand index 100. Stays hot for 6 months. Most stores treat it as one line out of twenty. → Christmas Sweaters. Everyone's Q4 plan. They run for exactly 1 month and they are 0.7% of revenue. You're building a quarter around a rounding error. → In home decor, 84% of the money is lighting. Not cushions. Not wall art. Lighting. And the biggest one of all stays hot for 5 months. ⏰ Why this matters this week Proper PMax learning takes about six weeks. Google says the same thing: get ready at least six weeks before peak. It's already September. Count six weeks forward. Your Q4 upload deadline is this month. Every date in the report is the LAST safe day. Not the ideal day.

Let's make this the best Q4 yet 🚀

I’ve added an extra campaign for my non-sellers (zombie products and test products with no conversions); my main campaign still contains around 25 products and has a budget of €70 per day, whilst the non-sellers campaign contains 50+ products and has a budget of €20 – both are Shopping campaigns. Is €20 for this campaign OK, or far too low? The idea behind it was the 80/20 principle (so next scale phase would be €80 for the main campaign), but I realised that €20 might actually be too low for this – what do you think?

I own a lighting store in France; I’ve been at it for six months. I ran both PMax and Shopping campaigns, but now I’m running only PMax with a daily budget of €40. The campaign does generate sales, but I can't seem to reach profitability for the store. I optimize and pause products—could it be the budget? The country? Would it be better to switch to another market, like the USA?
