## Resource

Google Merchant Center suspensions are making it harder than ever for new stores to run Google Shopping Ads. In this video I walk through an alternative strategy that works right now: building a high-ticket custom project funnel that captures leads through squeeze pages, closes big orders over the phone, and drives traffic with Google search text ads instead of shopping ads so you never have to deal with Merchant Center approval.🔥 What's covered:- Why new stores should not rely solely on Google Shopping Ads while waiting for Merchant Center approval- How a high-ticket custom build funnel works and which niches it fits best- Building a landing page that captures leads instead of sending traffic to product pages- Setting up a CRM system to manage your sales pipeline: HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, or Zoho- How to spec out and quote custom projects in collaboration with your supplier- Why accepting wire transfers only protects you on large orders over $10,000- How to drive traffic without Google Merchant Center: Google search text ads, SEO, YouTube, and social media- Setting up retargeting ads across Google, Microsoft, YouTube, and social media- How to build trust with customers from day one using reviews, case studies, and authorized dealer status- The full traffic and conversion stack for a high-ticket B2B funnelRead the blog post: https://ecommerceparadise.com/high-ticket-dropshipping-without-google-merchant-center-the-custom-build-funnel-strategy/ 📈 Done-For-You Store: https://ecommerceparadise.com/turnkey📚 Free Resources from Ecommerce Paradise:👉 Start Here: https://ecommerceparadise.com👉 Free Niches List: https://ecommerceparadise.com/niches👉 Free Beginner Guide: https://ecommerceparadise.com/beginnerguide👉 All Resources: https://ecommerceparadise.com/resources👉 Join the…
