Your first week on Google Ads, step by step

Seven days, in an order that produces an answer rather than a mess.

Day 1 — the store, not the ads

Contact page, returns and shipping policies with real timelines, prices consistent, checkout completing on a test order. Google reviews all of this and most first suspensions come from here.

Day 2 — tracking

One purchase conversion with revenue attached. Then place a test order and confirm it appears correctly.

Day 3 — Search only

Brand campaign plus one campaign on your proven product terms. Exact and phrase. A negative list from day one.

Day 4 to 7 — read, do not touch

Check the search terms report daily and add negatives. Resist restructuring. You are buying information this week, not results.

What not to do in week one

Performance Max with no conversion history, three campaign types at once, or a budget so small nothing can be concluded.
