Paid Search + Programmatic

Turn paid media into retail action

Paid search and programmatic campaigns connected to shoppable media and retail performance

Paid search and programmatic campaigns are built to capture demand in the moment. A shopper searches, clicks, sees an ad, or engages with a product message, but the next step is often where performance breaks.

Too many campaigns send high-intent shoppers to generic pages, out-of-stock products, or purchase paths that make them search again. SmartCommerce helps make paid search and programmatic media transaction-ready by connecting each click to a relevant retailer path, product experience, PDP, or checkout-ready destination.

The result is paid media that does more than drive traffic. It gives shoppers a clear next step and gives brands the retail data to understand what happened after the click.

Connect clicks to the right retail path

Send shoppers to the experience that fits the campaign goal: retailer choice, PDP traffic, direct-to-cart, a product bundle, or a location-aware where-to-buy path.

Reduce wasted media spend

Inventory Awareness helps route shoppers toward relevant, in-stock options, so campaign traffic is less likely to land on unavailable products or dead-end retailer pages.

Optimize across retailers

SmartCommerce can support retailer ranking, retailer choice, and campaign-specific paths, helping brands guide shoppers toward the retailers that matter most to the strategy.

Measure what happens next

MCP Analytics shows how products, retailers, channels, and campaigns perform, so teams can see what shoppers engaged with, where they went, and how paid media influenced retail action.

Paid media performance, measured at retail

When Mondelez set out to make Display and CTV more commerce-enabled and measurable, they partnered with SmartCommerce, Kargo, and Attain. Kargo powered the creative experience, SmartCommerce connected the ad experience to commerce, and Attain measured direct impact on sales outcomes.

The campaign showed how paid media can drive both conversion and new-buyer growth when the path from ad to retailer action is clear.
