OVERVIEW:
The brand deals in Beauty for age groups between 18 to 45 and provides a wide range of beauty products for women at an affordable price.
We are working with this client for almost the last 1.5 year. When we started a contract with this client at that time Google ads results were not as per the client expectations. We started work with the objective of increasing conversions through Google ads on a profitable ROAS which was around 4x.
They were getting organic and direct sales due to average presence of the brand. But they were not able to scale up the revenues by doing organic marketing and it was a difficult situation for them because Google ads campaigns were not generating good sales flow as per their expectations.
Their goal was to achieve a revenue of at least 300k with a minimum ROAS of 5x during the initial 12 months.
It is for the first time that they started doing Google ads with us and were very clear from Day 1 that they want to improve results through google ads and hit a 300k target within the next 12 Months with a minimum 5x ROAS.s
CHALLENGES:
We faced a lot of challenges in this brand because need to make lot of improvements in website and Google ads campaigns structure. We spend enough time preparing a recommendation doc that explained to clients and developers what changes we required on the website to achieve the expected results.
The existing set-up campaigns structure was not good so very difficult for us to optimize them to improve the results. If we have the right campaign structure that helps a lot to give the right direction to campaigns and optimize them easily to generate good results.
Client wanted to get good results from multiple Europe countries but first we did deep analysis and found best performing location in Europe and prepared strategy to go ahead accordingly.
