We are randomly losing access to merchant center accounts. Did I miss something we should have done with the Business Manager or with the new merchant center experience.

Anyone having issues with losing access to merchant center accounts. I have lost access randomly for 3 accounts in the last week.

I have a client we have been doing PPC for and while the Brand is working so the account looks like it is doing well, but it is not. The other non brand and shopping are not performing. This site has a barrier to entry in that you have to have an edu/gov email address to even be able to buy (they are ecommerce selling office supplies and stuff that military bases and schools would use). I have tried targeting areas around military bases, education sector and a few other audiences. I do also have a competitor campaign going with little success. Any ideas on how to "get in" with this specific group.

Does anyone have a great way of keeping track on client budgets. My current agency hasn't done a great job of it and I want to revamp system. I have some ideas but wondered if anyone had a good system in place.

Across all of our brands, CPC are up anywhere from 30-60%. Any ideas of how to lower these? I have been title testing, restructured the account (focusing on top sellers), reviewing feeds to ensure quality images, titles, descriptions, adding in Google cats, etc.
