Google Ads for ecommerce

Our success was based on three crucial steps: restructuring Google Ads strategy, introducing advanced tracking methods like consent mode, enhanced conversions, and server-side tracking, and reorganizing their campaign to more effectively attract and convert online buyers.

How it all started

Overview

The client is a multi-brand e-commerce store that brings the spirit of the north, Scandinavian culture, inspiration, and lifestyle to the Balkans through fashion.

They wanted to increase their online sales (by 20%) and reach a wider audience, but the most important aspect was to keep CPA (cost per purchase) inside the target. 

In this case study, we showcase our success in scaling an e-commerce store through strategic Google Ads optimizations.

Challenge

Performance Limitation

The lack of a well-structured Google Ads account, evidenced by having just one brand campaign and one Performance Max campaign without brand exclusions, severely limits campaign scalability and optimization potential.

  • Campaign learning limitations
  • Brand keywords conversions (reported as non-brand)
  • Youtube and Display campaigns not used in the funnel

Tracking & data issues

Tracking problems made it hard to see how well the ads were doing, so we needed better tracking to really understand and improve our ad campaigns.

  • Lack of Conversion Tracking with Consent Mode
  •  No Enhanced Conversions for better accuracy
  • Absence of Server-Side Tagging for improved privacy and performance
  •  improperly set up Dynamic Remarketing Tags for personalized ads

Performance understanding

Client: “Is it even possible to scale?”

The client’s uncertainty about the scalability of their campaigns stemmed from several key challenges:

  • Campaign Overlap: Conflicts between Pmax and search campaigns without a clear strategy.
  • Premature Focus on Pmax: Shifting to Pmax before fully leveraging search campaigns, leading to inefficient budget use.

Strategy

 Facing challenges like campaign overlap and inefficient budget use, our approach focused on three key areas: enhancing tracking with advanced techniques like consent mode and server-side tracking; restructuring campaigns for a solid foundation; and preparing for scale with calculated KPIs and a focus on high-intent queries. 

Our comprehensive strategy, including a deep audit and re-structuring for scalability, led to remarkable outcomes and achieving a 50% overall brand growth. This simplifies the journey to scalable success in the e-commerce and retail sectors through effective use of Google Ads.

The execution of this strategy involved a careful restructure of campaigns based on the level of consumer intent and stages of awareness, supported by an incremental budget increase strategy. This methodical approach enabled us to optimize campaign performance and achieve significant growth metrics, including a reduction in CPA and increases in ROAS, conversion value, and conversion rates.
