Google Ads

Run your Google Ads from the same place as the rest of your advertising.

Novaris connects to your own Google Ads account so you can build, monitor and adjust Search, Shopping, Performance Max and YouTube campaigns alongside Meta and TikTok. The account, the billing and the policies stay with Google.

What is included.

01

Account connection

We help you link your existing Google Ads account to Novaris with the access level you approve, and you can remove that access at any time.

02

Campaign setup and changes

Create and adjust Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns, plus YouTube campaigns where your account offers them, from the Novaris dashboard.

03

AI budget and bid suggestions

AI Campaigns reads your results and suggests where to shift budget between Google campaigns and your other channels, within the limits you set.

04

Google results in shared reports

Spend, clicks, conversions and revenue from Google sit next to Meta and TikTok figures, so you compare channels with one set of definitions.

How it works

How Novaris works with Google Ads

Google Ads covers several very different placements. Search ads answer people who are already typing a query, Shopping ads show your products with a price and image, Performance Max spreads one campaign across Google's inventory, and YouTube reaches people while they watch. Each one has its own setup, bidding options and reporting views inside Google, which is why many stores end up running one channel well and ignoring the rest.

Novaris connects to your Google Ads account through the access you grant during setup. We do not create a new ad account and we do not resell media. Your campaigns, payment method and billing history stay in your Google account, and Google charges ad spend to you directly. The plan price covers the platform, never the spend. If you stop using Novaris, the account and every campaign in it simply stay where they are, under your control.

Once connected, Novaris reads campaign performance and conversion data and shows it next to your other channels. AI Campaigns looks for the campaigns, product groups and search themes that bring orders and suggests budget changes. On Growth and Scale, automations can apply rules you choose, such as pausing a campaign whose cost per order climbs past a threshold you set.

Google still reviews every ad and keyword, applies its own advertising policies and can limit or suspend accounts. Novaris cannot override a review or speed it up. What we can do is keep your setup tidy, flag disapproved items quickly and make it easier to see which Google campaigns are worth keeping, and which ones are quietly using budget without bringing orders back to your store.

Why it matters

Why manage Google alongside your other channels

01

Intent you cannot get elsewhere

Search and Shopping reach people already looking for what you sell, which often behaves very differently from social audiences.

02

One view of total spend

Seeing Google, Meta and TikTok spend together makes it harder for one channel to drift over budget without anyone noticing.

03

Fairer channel comparisons

Shared reporting definitions help you compare cost per order across channels instead of reading three dashboards with three logics.

04

Less time in separate tools

Routine checks and changes happen in one place, which leaves more time for products, offers and creative.

05

Rules that keep watching

On Growth and Scale, automations keep checking Google campaigns against your rules outside working hours.

Before you start

What to have ready

These items make the connection and the first campaigns go smoothly. We go through each one with you on the onboarding call.

  • A Google Ads account in good standingWith a valid payment method and admin access for the person connecting it. If an account is suspended, that has to be resolved with Google first.
  • Conversion trackingPurchase conversions set up in Google Ads or imported from Google Analytics, so results reflect real orders rather than clicks.
  • A Merchant Center account for ShoppingWith your product feed approved. Shopping and most Performance Max campaigns depend on it.
  • A connected storeYour store, for example on Shopify, linked to Novaris so revenue and orders can be matched to campaigns.
  • A monthly Google budgetA figure you are comfortable spending with Google, and any daily limits you want the platform to respect.
  • Landing pages that match your adsProduct and collection pages that load properly and show the prices and policies your ads mention.

Once it runs

Keeping Google campaigns healthy

Google campaigns need regular attention even with automations in place. Search terms drift, product feeds fall out of date and seasonal demand changes what people type. Reviewing search terms, feed warnings and disapprovals every week keeps small problems from turning into wasted spend.

Treat AI suggestions as recommendations you approve, not instructions. Budget moves are easier to judge after a campaign has gathered enough data, so we suggest giving changes time to settle before you compare results.

If Google changes a policy, limits a product or asks for verification, respond inside Google Ads directly. Novaris shows the alert but cannot answer on your behalf or change Google's decision.

Avoid these

Common mistakes with Google Ads

Optimizing for clicks instead of orders

Without purchase conversions, Google and the platform optimize toward traffic that may never buy. Set up conversion tracking first.

A neglected product feed

Missing prices, wrong availability or rejected items quietly remove products from Shopping and Performance Max.

Changing everything in the first days

Frequent edits restart learning. Let campaigns gather data before judging them.

Ignoring search terms

Broad keywords can match unrelated searches. Add negative keywords as you see irrelevant terms.

Novaris connects to Google Ads but is not affiliated with Google. We cannot guarantee ad approvals, account status or results, which depend on your products, market, budget and Google's own decisions.
