This is Liam’s story…
Growing up, Liam Patterson was always the problem-solver in his group. It was no surprise when he took up a career in digital marketing and quickly identified a persistent issue – high bounce rates on Google Shopping ads. He observed that half of the traffic generated by these ads would bounce back to Google, creating a challenge for retailers. As he delved deeper into the issue, Liam discovered an inflexibility in Google Shopping’s structure that necessitated directing traffic to product details pages, which often did not match the search terms. This realization led to a game-changing solution. Liam developed a technology that would optimize bids on a SKU by SKU level, balancing cost per click based on product margins and customer purchase intent. This innovative bid optimization approach revolutionized how retailers could tackle bounce rates.
