Running Google Ads across several countries

Merged markets hide the truth. A strong country can carry a weak one for months before anyone notices.

Separate campaigns, always

CPCs, competition, conversion rates and shipping economics differ enormously by market. One campaign spanning countries produces a blended number that describes nowhere.

Feeds per market where anything differs

Price, currency, availability or language. A feed advertising a price the local page does not show is a misrepresentation finding, not a data issue. Supplemental feeds handle overrides without duplicating the catalogue.

What to check before adding a market

  • Shipping cost and time that a buyer there would accept.
  • Returns that actually work from that country.
  • Support in a language you can answer in.
  • Payment methods people there use.

Adding a market the operations cannot serve produces orders, refunds and bad reviews — in that order.
