Everyone thinks you need a fat budget to win with Google Ads.

Truth is, you just need to outthink, not outspend, your competitors.

Here’s the setup we use to dominate with minimal spend: Image Let’s start with a tough truth:

If you don’t have much to spend, you can’t copy what big brands do.

You can’t afford 30 campaigns running at once.

Instead, you have to play the efficiency game.

Every dollar has to work hard.

How to spot it: Image First, let me tell you a story about an account we audited.

Their PMAX campaigns crushed it with a 6.96X ROAS.

We review 20+ Google Ads accounts every month.

Every single time, we spot issues that crank up their CPCS and kill their ability to scale.

It's not just the small players, big brands make the same mistakes.

So here’re 10 strategies to help reduce your Google Ads CPCs: Image 1. Go after cheaper conversions, not cheap traffic

First of all, don’t judge clicks solely by cost.

A $5 click that converts beats a $1 click that bounces.

What matters more is how much you pay per conversion.

Focus on lowering costs for the traffic that actually converts.

If you can test Google Shopping campaigns properly, you can scale any e-commerce business.
