every bid capped by your own margin ↗

Products meet buyers

It reads your shop, builds the campaigns, writes the keywords, and refuses to bid more than a product can afford.

Search ads for small shops, run by something that counts the cost of every click. Nothing goes live, and nothing spends, until you press the button yourself.

What it is

Most ad tools spend your money. This one argues with it.

It caps every bid

Each product has a price and a margin, so each product has a ceiling. The app works that ceiling out and never bids past it — not on the busiest keyword, not on the best day.

It writes real keywords

Keywords come from your own product names, the way a buyer would type them — not from a category guess. Searches that never end in a sale are blocked before they can cost you.

It waits for you

Everything it builds arrives paused. It tells you what it would change, in plain words, and changes nothing until you press the button. One press pauses it all again.

Your catalogue

Every product judged on what it can afford.

The application reads the price, the stock and the margin of each product, and decides how far it is allowed to go for a click on it. Products that cannot pay their way are left out, and it tells you which and why.

An illustration, not a screenshot. Products, prices and figures are examples of the arithmetic. Pseudo GMC builds the search advertisement in the middle band; shopping listings need a Merchant Center product feed, which it does not create.

How it works

Six steps, in order, one at a time.

The app keeps the list. You always know the next thing to do, and nothing else is asked of you until it is done.

  1. 01

    It reads your shop

    Point it at your website. It reads every product, its price, its stock and its photograph — the same list your customers see.

  2. 02

    You connect Google Ads

    Sign in with the Google account that owns your ad account and pick it from the list. The app only ever touches campaigns it made itself.

  3. 03

    You say where ads show

    Countries, regions or towns, searched the way Google searches them. Take a place off the list and it stops being targeted.

  4. 04

    You set a budget and a margin

    The most you will spend in a day, and what you keep from a sale. Every bid in the account is worked out from those two numbers.

  5. 05

    It builds, and Google checks it

    Campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ads, blocked searches. Google validates the whole thing before a single change is written, and it all arrives paused.

  6. 06

    You turn it on

    The only step that spends money, and the only one the app will never take for you. Pause again whenever you like.

The rules it follows

Written down, so you can hold it to them.

These are not settings. They are how the thing is built, and every one of them is covered by a test that has to pass before a line of it ships.

nothing spends behind your back ✎

  • Nothing spends until you press the button. Everything is created paused.
  • No bid goes past what the product can afford. Margin first, traffic second.
  • Budgets never add up to more than your daily figure. The app refuses to build if they would.
  • Nothing is ever deleted. Campaigns, ad groups and ads are paused, never removed.
  • It only touches its own work. Campaigns it did not create are left alone and never reported as yours.
  • It says what it is about to do. In plain words, before it does it, every time.

Your data

What it touches, and what it never does.

What it reads

Your Google Ads account: the campaigns it built, what they cost, and which searches led to sales. Your shop: products, prices, stock and photographs — the public list, the same one your customers browse.

Where it lives

On your own computer. Your Google sign-in is stored on that machine, in a file only your user account can read, and is sent to nobody but Google. We keep no copy of your ad account, and we have no way to reach it.

What it never reads

No customer names, no email addresses, no delivery addresses, no card details. When it counts your orders, it counts how many and how much — never who.

What you can take away

Your consent, at any time, from your own Google account — the app stops working the moment you do. The campaigns stay yours, in your account, whatever happens to us.

Who it is for

Shops that cannot afford to learn this the expensive way.

A shop with a few hundred products, thin margins, and nobody whose job is Google Ads. The kind of shop that gets a phone call from an agency, pays a retainer for six months, and cannot say what it bought.

WooCommerceWorks with any WooCommerce shop. No plugin needed to start; one small plugin counts your orders when you are ready.
Your own accountThe campaigns are built in your Google Ads account, under your billing. Leave whenever you like and they stay.
Plain wordsNo jargon, no dashboards to interpret. It tells you what happened, what it costs, and what to do next.

It is early, and it is careful.

Pseudo GMC is in private beta with a small number of shops, and free while it is. If you sell online and you are tired of paying for clicks that never buy anything, tell us about your shop.
