24. Shopping Ads set up tips
• Structure campaigns by product categories for ease of optimizing and
negative keyword management (use your website navigation bars for
inspiration)
• Do not get too granular. An excessive number of campaigns and ad groups
can spread your daily budgets out too much and impact delivery
• Limit your negative keywords to prevent scale issues (Pinterest can help
identify negatives to add as the campaign runs)
• Group similar product groups under one ad group to better leverage
optimization levers (bids, budgets, audiences)
• Break out high performing product groups over time
