When paid ads are the right lever for your store – and when they’re not
Paid media performs best when margin, inventory and conversion economics are clear enough to scale responsibly. If you have proven product-market fit, reliable tracking and the ability to iterate creative and feed quality, paid ads become a predictable growth lever, because we can optimise against ROAS and profit, not platform vanity metrics.
If tracking is unreliable, product economics are unclear, or the onsite journey isn’t converting, increasing ad spend typically amplifies inefficiency. In those situations we start with diagnostics – margin, revenue leakage, audience intent and feed health – so investment is directed at the highest-value opportunities before scaling budgets.
Using the Digital Performance Blueprint and Digital P&L, we confirm what to scale, what to deprioritise and how paid traffic supports your wider acquisition system.
Decide whether paid ads are right for your store
Paid ads for eCommerce must be built on clarity, not assumptions. Using our Digital Performance Blueprint and Digital P&L, we identify which audiences convert, where revenue leaks occur, which products deliver margin and how paid traffic supports your wider acquisition strategy.
At Mr Digital, we build ad strategies engineered for eCommerce. That means showcasing your products at the right time, targeting high-intent shoppers and retargeting visitors until they convert – all tracked against clear ROI goals.
Before launching Google, Meta or Shopping campaigns, we diagnose performance and profitability to ensure every pound of ad spend is invested in the highest-value opportunities.

We’ve helped eCommerce stores across multiple industries grow with scalable campaigns using paid ads.
How we scale eCommerce paid media profitably
We diagnose margin and inventory constraints first, then govern spend through profit visibility and structured optimisation across channels.
Blueprint
Diagnostics across product economics, feed health, tracking and creative performance to define what to scale and what to pause.
Digital P&L
A commercial view tying ROAS to profit and inventory reality, enabling confident budget allocation and scaling decisions.
Delivery
Multi-channel execution with structured testing (creative, audiences, feeds) and continuous optimisation with live reporting.
Start strategy-first – or begin delivery sooner
The strongest programmes start with the Blueprint (once) and Digital P&L (once), then scale delivery. If timelines require immediate execution, we can begin with diagnostic onboarding and performance reporting setup to govern early delivery – then complete the Blueprint and Digital P&L as a dedicated strategic phase when timelines allow. Either route maintains the same commercial accountability – targets first, transparent reporting and disciplined delivery.
