OVERVIEW:
In this eCommerce store, our client is selling home decor products through Google ads. This client has 250 plus products including variants. We manage google ads for this client with the aim to profitably scale eCommerce revenue.
We have been working with this client for more than 3 months. When we started a contract with this client at that time Google ads results were not as per the client’s expectations. We started work to increase conversions through Google ads on a profitable ROAS which was around 2x.
This store was getting low conversion rates from organic, direct, and other channels traffic because the website required a lot of improvements to increase the conversion rate.
This store was also not getting the expected results from google ads due to poor campaign structure, wrong keywords, wrong target audience, bid strategies, etc.
From day 1 we set up our goal to hit a more than 1M conversion value within the next 12 months with ROAS 6x plus because we always want to give more results to our clients as per their expectations.
