Automated Task #9
Google Ads Automation

Find Products with High Clicks but Low ROAS in Ads

Find the products absorbing your ad budget without delivering revenue.

In Google Shopping and Search campaigns, a small number of poorly-performing products can consume 20–40% of your budget while generating minimal revenue. PayHelm's daily ROAS analysis by product identifies every product generating above-threshold click spend and below-threshold ROAS, calculates the revenue opportunity cost, and recommends whether to exclude the product from ads, reduce bids, or investigate the product page for conversion issues.

Why automate this?

This task runs automatically every daily — no dashboards to check, no manual analysis to run.

Budget reallocation

Excluding or reducing bids on low-ROAS products frees budget for products that actually convert.

Margin-aware analysis

ROAS thresholds adjusted for product margin so low-margin products need higher ROAS to justify ad spend.

PDP diagnostics

Agent flags whether the issue is the ad (CTR high, so ad works) or the product page (CVR low).

Daily monitoring

Daily cadence catches newly underperforming products before they drain significant budget.
