Hello Evileyes, thank you for your question.
There was a similar question on the FeedArmy AMA, so I will share you what I said, and feel free to ask for any follow up questions.
The best strategy depends on testing, each merchant will have different strategies what works.
For example, try using standard shopping, if you want high control, explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiRIDzRrHno
Or try using performance max, without ad assets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6VhX7MqIgY
If you have zero sales, then I would test by using standard shopping first, so that you can learn, and understand what search terms are triggering your products.
Then exclude what is irrelevant or costs too much.
