Loud Mouth Media, headquartered in Belfast with offices in London and Dublin, has built a strong reputation with direct-to-consumer brands. They are certified Google Premier Partners and have particular expertise in Performance Max campaigns — the campaign type that has become central to most DTC advertising strategies.

Found takes an integrated search approach, combining organic SEO with paid Shopping campaigns to maximise total search visibility. For ecommerce brands that want to dominate both paid and organic product listings, Found's holistic methodology is a strong fit.
Their team optimises product pages for organic rankings while simultaneously running Shopping and Search campaigns, ensuring your brand captures traffic at every stage of the purchase journey.

7. Hallam — Best for B2B Ecommerce
Hallam, based in Nottingham, is a full-service digital agency with strong B2B ecommerce credentials. While many agencies focus on consumer-facing retail, Hallam understands the nuances of B2B buying cycles: longer decision timelines, multiple stakeholders, trade pricing, and account-based purchasing.
They have worked with wholesale distributors, trade platforms, and manufacturers selling direct through ecommerce. Their Google Ads strategies account for the fact that B2B buyers often research extensively before purchasing, requiring different campaign structures and attribution models.
Why We Picked Them

- Multi-award-winning agency with Drum and UK Search Awards recognition
- + Rare B2B ecommerce focus

Their pricing is among the most accessible on this list, making them a strong option for small to mid-sized Shopify stores that need expert Google Ads management without enterprise-level fees. They also offer a free Google Ads audit, which is a low-risk way to evaluate their expertise.

- Deep Shopify integration expertise
- Accessible pricing for growing stores

High-AOV products require a different Google Ads strategy. The buying cycle is longer, comparison shopping is more intense, and customers need more touchpoints before converting.

Why We Picked Them
- Decades of experience with premium and luxury ecommerce
- Sophisticated remarketing and consideration-stage campaigns
- Understanding of longer buying cycles for high-ticket products
- + Specialists in high-ticket product advertising

They focus on getting the basics right: proper conversion tracking, clean campaign structure, negative keyword management, and regular search term reviews. For a new ecommerce store that needs professional management but cannot justify a £2,000+ monthly fee, Add People is a solid starting point.
Why We Picked Them

Ready to Scale Your Ecommerce Ads?
We have helped ecommerce brands achieve an average 6.5x ROAS through expert Shopping, Performance Max, and feed optimisation. Let us show you what is possible.
Book a Strategy CallHow We Selected These Agencies
We evaluated agencies against five criteria specific to ecommerce Google Ads management:
- Ecommerce ROAS track record — Verified client results and case studies demonstrating consistent return on ad spend for ecommerce businesses
- Google Shopping expertise — Demonstrated ability to optimise product feeds, manage Merchant Centre, and run profitable Shopping and Performance Max campaigns
- Client transparency — Clear reporting, no hidden fees, and willingness to share actual performance data rather than vague "we improved performance" claims
- Ecommerce-specific capabilities — Product-level profitability tracking, seasonal campaign management (Black Friday, Christmas, January sales), dynamic remarketing, and customer lifetime value optimisation
- Pricing fairness — Reasonable pricing relative to the scope of work, without excessive lock-in contracts or percentage-of-spend models that penalise growth
We also considered agency size, team structure, and whether ecommerce clients get dedicated senior strategists or are passed to junior account managers after the sales process.
What to Look for in an Ecommerce Google Ads Agency
Beyond our ranked list, here are the key things to evaluate when choosing an agency for your ecommerce brand:
Product Feed Expertise
Your product feed is the foundation of Shopping and Performance Max campaigns. A good ecommerce agency should be able to audit your feed, optimise product titles and descriptions for search relevance, implement custom labels for bid segmentation, and set up supplemental feeds to enrich your data.
Conversion Tracking Depth
Basic conversion tracking is not enough for ecommerce. You need revenue tracking at the product level, enhanced conversions for accurate attribution, and ideally profit-based bidding so the algorithm optimises for margin — not just top-line revenue. Ask any prospective agency how they handle wasted spend identification and product-level performance reporting.
Seasonal Campaign Management
Ecommerce is inherently seasonal. Black Friday, Christmas, January sales, Easter, and summer — each period requires different budget allocation, bidding strategies, and creative. The best agencies plan these campaigns months in advance rather than scrambling to react.
Dynamic Remarketing
For ecommerce, dynamic remarketing — showing users the exact products they viewed — is essential. It is one of the highest-ROAS campaign types available. Ensure your agency has experience setting up and optimising dynamic remarketing across Display, YouTube, and Performance Max.
