From missing attributes to outdated data, feed problems can hurt your campaigns. Here’s how to prevent them - and how the right tool can automate it all.

For many e-commerce marketers, feed management feels like a hidden challenge. You rarely see it, but you notice when it goes wrong: products disappear from campaigns, ads show outdated prices, or your catalog gets disapproved without warning. Small data errors can quietly drain performance, even when everything else - creative, copy, and targeting - is spot-on.
That’s why feed management matters. A well-managed feed ensures that every product in your store appears correctly across ad platforms like Meta, Google, and TikTok. When it’s done right, your catalog ads stay up to date, your products are always in sync, and your campaigns run smoothly without manual intervention.

The most frequent feed issues stem from missing or incorrect data. Missing attributes like GTINs, brands, or categories make it harder for platforms to approve and correctly classify your products. Mismatched prices or availability between your store and feed can also trigger rejections or lead to poor user experiences.
Low-quality images or wrong aspect ratios are another common cause of underperforming ads. Even something as simple as inconsistent product naming can reduce your visibility in search-based ads.
The solution? Automate the tedious parts. Instead of manually checking and editing CSVs or Google Sheets, use a feed management system that automatically validates your data, syncs updates from your store, and alerts you when something’s missing. Real-time syncing ensures prices, stock levels, and categories are always correct - so your ads stay accurate and live.
Platforms like Campaign Builder take this one step further. Once your feed is connected, it automatically checks for missing fields, applies optimisation rules, and keeps your catalog aligned with each ad network’s requirements. You can even preview and publish dynamic catalog ads directly - without switching between tools or exports.
Selecting the right tool can transform how you handle product data. The best feed management platforms combine integration, automation, and scalability. Integration ensures your product source (Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom CMS) connects directly to your ad channels. Automation lets you apply rules - like adding “Free Shipping” to titles or formatting prices - to every product automatically. Scalability ensures that whether you manage 100 or 10,000 products, your setup runs smoothly without slowing down your campaigns.
With Campaign Builder, these features are built-in. You don’t need a separate feed tool, a creative builder, and a publishing system. Everything happens in one place: connect your feed, clean your data, create HTML5 or video ads, and publish them across Meta, Google, or TikTok.
This integrated approach saves time and reduces the risk of human error. It also keeps your campaigns consistent, ensuring that your creative, catalog, and product data always work together.
In the end, great advertising starts with great data. If you fix the foundation - your feed - you’ll see the results in performance, efficiency, and scalability.
