Initial Google Ads setup with the research done first
A starter path for new or messy accounts: feasibility research, account structure, conversion tracking recommendations, Merchant Center and feed basics, and first controlled campaigns.
New campaigns fail when setup starts before the business question is answered
Before launching ads, the account needs to answer whether Google Ads can realistically support the offer, economics, landing pages, and available tracking.
Campaigns launch before competitor, keyword, and landing page reality is understood.
Conversion tracking is installed late or incorrectly, so the learning period uses weak signals.
Ecommerce accounts skip Merchant Center and feed basics, then expect PMax or Shopping to work cleanly.
Budgets are spread across too many campaigns before one clear test has enough signal.
Start smaller, cleaner, and with better signal
Research competitors, keywords, landing pages, and campaign structure before launch.
Define conversion tracking recommendations before budget is committed.
Set up first campaigns around the strongest intent and cleanest measurement path.
Use Merchant Center, feed basics, and landing page checks when ecommerce is part of the plan.
What gets prepared
The setup is designed to reduce avoidable waste during the first learning period.
Relevant proof to inspect
These are public Etavrian case studies. Where a niche has adjacent proof instead of exact niche proof, the page says that plainly instead of stretching the claim.
An ecommerce relaunch moved ROAS from 3.06 to 5.90 while revenue almost tripled on 37% more spend.
Public case study The brand-split PMax move behind 9.01 ROASROAS moved from 3.26 to 9.01 in 30 days after brand and non-brand demand were separated.

How this differs from a generic agency page
The point is not more tactics. It is tighter ownership over the few inputs that decide whether marketing work can produce useful revenue.
Process you can follow without micromanaging
Validate the channel
Check whether demand, competitors, and economics make Google Ads worth testing.
Plan tracking
Define conversion actions, values, GA4 alignment, and ecommerce or CRM signal needs.
Build the structure
Create a simple campaign plan around the strongest intent first.
Prepare assets and pages
Review landing pages, ad copy, product feed, and Merchant Center basics where relevant.
Launch controlled tests
Start with enough focus to learn what should be scaled, fixed, or stopped.
Proof and operating style
The work should be easy to inspect before a call: public case studies, public profiles, and a clear explanation of how decisions are made.
Andrii stays close to the commercial logic: margin, tracking quality, offer fit, and what needs to change before spend increases.
