What is the minimum budget to start with Google Ads?
Depending on your sector and market, a test budget of €800 to €1,500/month is already enough to gather meaningful data. Below that, automated bidding algorithms lack the volume to optimize properly.
How much do you charge for Google Ads management?
Monthly package starting at €400/month for management (excluding ad spend), depending on the number of campaigns and desired optimization level. Free initial audit to assess potential.
Is Performance Max really effective?
Yes, on two conditions: feed it good information about your customers, and measure sales reliably with GA4 (Google's statistics tool). On default settings, it often wastes budget on visitors who never buy.
Do you also work on SEO alongside this?
Yes, and it's actually recommended: SEO and Google Ads reinforce each other (shared keyword data, brand presence). See my dedicated SEO page for more details.
Is GA4 really different from the old Universal Analytics?
Yes, completely: GA4 counts visitor actions (page views, purchases) where the old version mostly counted visits, handles conversions differently, with a redesigned interface. A configuration simply carried over from the old Analytics is almost always incomplete for an online store.
Which platforms do you configure GA4 on?
PrestaShop, Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress or any custom site. Generally via Google Tag Manager, the tool that centralizes measurement scripts: changes then need no edits to the site's code.
How much does a GA4 setup cost?
On a creation or redesign project, the setup is included. As a standalone service on an existing site: €400 to €900 depending on the complexity of the purchase journey and the number of actions to measure (purchases, add-to-carts, forms and so on).
Does GTM slow down my site?
No, quite the opposite: properly configured, it loads measurement tools in the background, without delaying page display. A site where scripts have been added by hand here and there is often slower than one where everything goes through a well-kept Google Tag Manager.
What is the difference from adding GA4 or Meta Pixel directly in the code?
Google Tag Manager centralizes everything in one place: a single management point, clear documentation, the ability to roll back. Adding each tool directly into the code multiplies the risk of error and makes the slightest change dependent on a developer.
How much does setting up GTM cost?
On a creation or redesign project, installation is included. On an existing site where scattered scripts need to be brought together: €500 to €1,200 depending on their number and the complexity of the firing rules.
Which platforms can you configure the Merchant Center feed on?
PrestaShop, Shopify, WooCommerce, or any catalog exported from a custom-built site. Each platform has its own modules or catalog export methods, which I adapt to your needs.
Why are my products disapproved?
The most common causes: missing or incorrect product barcode (GTIN), a gap between the price shown on your site and the one sent to Google, non-compliant images (logo, watermark), a poorly chosen Google category. I diagnose and fix these errors as a priority.
Does the feed update automatically when I change a price?
Yes, that's the goal: the feed is connected directly to your CMS catalog, with a sync frequency (usually several times a day) so price, stock and availability always stay consistent with your site.
How much does setting up the Merchant Center feed cost?
On a platform with a dedicated module (PrestaShop, Shopify, WooCommerce): €400 to €900. With advanced rules and fine catalog segmentation for Google's Performance Max campaigns: €900 to €2,000 depending on catalog size.
Isn't the Pixel alone enough?
Less and less. Between ad blockers and the privacy protections in Safari and iOS, the Pixel alone misses 20 to 40% of sales in its measurements. The Conversions API compensates for that loss: it sends the data directly from your site to Meta, without depending on the visitor's browser.
What is the minimum budget for Meta Ads?
Starting at €500-800/month to properly test several audiences and creatives. Below that, the algorithm lacks the data to optimize delivery effectively.
How much do you charge for Meta Ads management?
Monthly package from €400/month excluding ad spend: measurement tools set up (Pixel, Conversions API), campaign management, reporting. Free initial audit.
Meta Ads or Google Ads, which to prioritize?
It depends on your product and target audience. Google Ads captures existing purchase intent; Meta Ads creates desire among audiences who weren't yet searching. Often, the two are complementary rather than exclusive.
Why Brevo rather than Mailchimp?
Brevo is a French company (data hosted in Europe), often cheaper for high volumes of automatic emails (order confirmations, shipping notices and so on), with SMS sending built in. Mailchimp remains relevant for some very advanced automation scenarios.
How much does Brevo integration cost?
Basic installation and configuration (automatic order emails + 2-3 automated scenarios): €600 to €1,500. Advanced contact targeting and complex multi-step scenarios: €1,500 to €4,000.
Can Brevo replace the automatic emails PrestaShop sends?
Yes, and I recommend it: your emails reach the inbox more reliably and look more polished. The Brevo module takes over from PrestaShop and sends these emails (order confirmation, shipping and so on) using your own templates.
Is GDPR properly handled with Brevo?
Yes, Brevo is a French company subject to GDPR by default, with data hosted in Europe. I set up double confirmation of sign-ups, unsubscribe preferences and the mandatory legal notices on all your forms.
Mailchimp or Brevo, how to choose?
Mailchimp excels at advanced automatic email scenarios and fine targeting based on buying behavior. Brevo is often more cost-effective for high volumes of automatic emails (orders, shipping) and also sends SMS. I advise you based on your volumes and needs.
How much does Mailchimp integration cost?
Connection to your store and basic automatic scenarios: €600 to €1,500. Advanced targeting, recurring newsletters and systematic side-by-side testing of two email versions: €1,500 to €4,000.
Can I migrate my existing list to Mailchimp?
Yes: I import your contacts from another tool or a spreadsheet file (CSV), with GDPR checks (consent really given, origin known). Contact groups are rebuilt if needed.
Do e-commerce automations really work well?
Yes, provided they're properly configured with your real sales data. A well-calibrated abandoned cart reminder typically recovers 5 to 10% of lost carts — one of the highest ROIs in digital marketing.
