A well-known holster brand had stalled. Spend wouldn't scale, conversions had flattened, and rivals were poaching their own brand searches.
What I did
- Found a desktop-vs-mobile CPC gap hiding under a too-tight tCPA, so I split brand search by device
- Stood up a separate PMax Brand campaign and walled brand terms out of every other PMax and Shopping campaign
- Broke one catch-all PMax campaign into category-level campaigns built around the winners
- Mined converting PMax search themes and promoted them into their own Search campaigns
The results
- Monthly revenue climbed from ~$180K (Oct 2021) past $400K by May 2024
- Jan-Jun 2024 vs. the year before: spend $482K (+$232K)
- Return on ad spend of 5.45x, up 1.06x year over year
- Sales of $2.63M (+$1.53M) while average CPC dipped to $0.98 (-$0.10)
