Google Ads for ecommerce: the operator course
Seven parts, in the order the work actually happens: economics before feed, feed before structure, structure before spend. No fluff, no gate — the same sequence we run on real accounts.
By the end you can compute your own profitability line, structure an account around margin, and scale spend without breaking what works.
