Google Ads for made-to-order and custom products

Custom products break most Shopping assumptions. They work fine on Search.

State the lead time everywhere

If the item takes four weeks, the page must say so before checkout. Hiding it is the misrepresentation risk, and it is also what generates the refunds.

Search over Shopping

Custom and made-to-order items often lack the standardised attributes Shopping wants. Search lets you speak the buyer’s language — occasion, material, personalisation — without fighting the feed.

Longer windows, fewer conversions

Attribution windows need to reflect a decision measured in weeks, and low conversion volume means manual control usually beats automation.
