New York retail brands average 2.2× Google Shopping ROAS — top performers hit 5.4× with the same budget
The New York retail leaders winning paid media are running optimised Shopping feeds, dynamic retargeting, and Amazon Ads in parallel — not just outspending rivals.
📍 New York Market Insight: New York's retail market is home to 230,000+ businesses competing for consumer wallet share. Most retail advertisers in New York are running Google Shopping with unoptimised product feeds, missing merchant promotions, and no negative-keyword lists — resulting in ROAS of 1.4–2.1× when the market benchmark for optimised accounts is 4.0×+. The New York retail brands outperforming are those combining Shopping Ads with dynamic retargeting on Meta and YouTube, capturing the 70% of shoppers who research before buying. Local New York consumer trends in finance, fashion, media, tech sectors further drive demand for precision-targeted campaigns that speak to specific buyer intent at each funnel stage.
