adstrong

adstrong offers Google Shopping ad-tech solutions for SEA agencies, online shops, eBay & Amazon sellers. As Founder and CEO, I supervise team members in developing solutions that helped >3,000 online shops & agencies earn more with Google Shopping and generated €100M+ revenues for our partners.  

Our "25% CPC Boost for Google Shopping Ads (CSS)" generates over 3 million € in CPC value annually.

Ingmar V. Albert

It's so awesome to bump into old friends from my Berlin startup time.
just arrived at #newcom25 and caught up with Philipp Klöckner.

Excited to see what everyone will present on stage, especially Lukas Maria Beilmann , Rahil Yaqub and Morten Jørgensen who are partners with us.

DM if you want to meet up for coffee
... and have a great day 🌄

Travel used to wreck my routines. Not anymore.

Now I fly with a system:
👉 Fast on flight days
👉 Electrolytes + hydration
👉 Hotel bands or bodyweight workouts
👉 Breathwork before bed

Stay sharp. Stay mobile.
No excuses.

Everyone says CSS gives you a CPC boost.

Here’s what it actually means:

With GSE:
💸 You bid €1 → only €0.80 is effective

With adstrong CSS:
✅ You bid €1 → full €1 is used

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝟮𝟱% 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

It’s not theory. It’s math.
And it scales with every euro you spend.

Yes, you can switch away from your current CSS.

✅ Request switch through GSE
✅ Approve in Merchant Center
✅ Or request account deletion if needed

You’re never locked in.

At adstrong, we’ve helped agencies reclaim their Merchant Centers and relaunch with their own Branded CSS. Clean, compliant, and fully under control.

Your performance infrastructure should be yours.

Not borrowed.

When things go wrong, you can:
👉 Blame the market
👉 Blame the tools
👉 Blame the team

Or... you can ask:
What can I control right now?

Strong founders don’t wait for rescue.
They rebuild. Fast.

That’s leadership.

A generic CSS gives you entry.
Keyword CSS gives you leverage.

👉 “𝗕𝘆 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿”? Blends in.
👉 “𝗕𝘆 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗣𝗿𝗼”? Stands out.

Relevance = performance.
Brand familiarity = click confidence.

Keyword domains aren’t just for SEO.

They drive Shopping CTR too. Use them.

In Shopping Ads, users don’t just scan titles...
They look at the source.

“By adstrong” works.

But “𝗕𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗞𝗲𝘆𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱” works even better.

✅ Category relevance
✅ Increased trust
✅ Higher CTRs

With Keyword CSS, your relevant keywords shows up right in the ad.

Top-of-funnel attention.
Mid-funnel trust.
Bottom-line results.

Congratulating Glen Richardson (FCIM FBCS), owner of Exceedity® for taking his client's Google Shopping Ads to the next level by leveraging adstrong's Agency CSS solution. That's the way to do it!

#ecommerce #marketing #google #growth #css

There’s no boss when you’re the founder.
No one’s checking if you showed up.

That’s the job.
That’s the responsibility.

Discipline > motivation.
Show up anyway. Every day.

“Just focus on product and the rest will come.”

Spoiler: it didn’t.

I focused on product... and ignored:
👉 Distribution
👉 Pricing
👉 Positioning

Result? Crickets.

Build a great product.
But build the growth engine with it.

Forget chasing "balance." It’s a moving target.

Chase alignment instead:
👉 Are you building what you believe in?
👉 Do your days match your values?
👉 Is your mind where your body is?

Alignment creates clarity... even in chaos.

Hustle gets the job done.
Humility keeps it scalable.

The best hires?

👉 Deliver fast
👉 Ask sharp questions
👉 Level up the whole team

Ambition without ego scales faster.

Don’t just hire fire.

Hire focus.
