Google Ads for Shopify

Google Ads built by engineers who’ve been inside Shopify for 20 years

Many marketing agencies just bolt on Google Ads and hope for the best. We’ve spent two decades deep inside Shopify’s architecture—we know where the data lives, where tracking breaks, and how to make every ad dollar actually hit.

For established Shopify brands spending $5K–$50K/mo on ads. We fix what other agencies can’t even see.

The Problem

Your Google Ads agency doesn’t understand Shopify

They paste in a GTM snippet and expect it to work like any other website. It doesn’t. Shopify has a different checkout, a different data layer, and a different set of technical landmines. If your agency doesn’t know that, you’re flying blind.

Broken tracking they don’t even know is broken

GTM on Shopify isn’t plug-and-play. The checkout is sandboxed, events fire differently, and most agencies never realize their conversion data is wrong from day one.

No connection between ads and your actual store data

Your agency can’t see AOV, LTV, or margin data. They optimize for clicks instead of profit because they don’t know how to pull Shopify’s real numbers.

Generic campaigns that ignore Shopify’s quirks

Template campaigns don’t account for Shopify’s product structure, variant handling, inventory syncing, or how the catalog actually feeds into Shopping ads.

Technical problems they can’t diagnose

When attribution breaks, feeds misfire, or server-side tracking drops events—a generic agency is stuck. They don’t know Shopify well enough to find the problem, let alone fix it.

The Sunbowl Difference

20 years inside Shopify means we see what others can’t

We don’t just manage ads. We understand Shopify’s checkout pipeline, its data layer quirks, and exactly how to wire Google Ads into your store so tracking is airtight and every campaign decision is based on real data.

Across managed accounts. Accurate because our tracking actually works—no inflated numbers from misconfigured GTM.

40%
lower CAC

By using Shopify’s LTV, margin, and purchase data to target—not the demographic guesses your current agency relies on.

When your tracking is right and your data is clean, every optimization decision compounds.

Is This For You?

This is built for you if…

  • You’re a Shopify brand doing $50K+/month in revenue
  • You’re spending (or ready to spend) $5K–$50K/mo on Google Ads
  • You want campaigns built on your actual store data, not guesswork
  • You value transparency and want to see real profit numbers
  • You’re done with agencies that treat your store like every other client

This probably isn’t for you if…

  • You’re just starting out and haven’t found product-market fit yet
  • You want the cheapest option (we’re not that)
  • You’re looking for a set-it-and-forget-it solution
  • You’re not on Shopify

We’d rather be honest upfront than waste your time. If this fits, let’s talk.

Why Premium

Why this isn’t a $500/month service

01

20 years of Shopify-specific expertise

We’ve been building on Shopify since before most agencies knew it existed. We know its architecture, its limitations, and exactly how to make Google Ads work within them.

02

We fix the tracking your agency broke

GTM on Shopify requires Shopify-specific implementation. We set up server-side tracking, fix the checkout data layer, and make sure your numbers are real—not an estimate.

03

Profit-based optimization, not ROAS theater

We pull actual margin data from your Shopify store. A 5x return on a 10% margin product isn’t a win, and we won’t pretend it is.

04

Direct access to the engineers running your campaigns

No account managers or junior staff. You work with the same people who built the tracking, configured the feeds, and optimized the bids.
