Background
A fast-growing e-commerce brand in the United States selling bags approached us with a clear objective: capitalize on the Q4 shopping season and scale Google Ads as aggressively as possible.
The brand already had product-market fit, but Q4 presents unique challenges. Competition increases dramatically, CPCs rise, and inefficient campaign structures can quickly burn through budget.
To succeed, the account needed a setup that could capture high demand while keeping ad spend efficient.
Strategy
To meet the client’s growth goals, we built a Google Ads structure designed specifically for rapid scaling during high-demand periods.
Performance Max campaigns became the primary driver of growth, allowing the account to reach potential buyers across Search, Shopping, YouTube, Display and Discover simultaneously. This enabled the campaigns to capture demand across multiple touchpoints during the holiday season.
Alongside this, we implemented our Labelizer product segmentation system. Products were grouped based on performance signals such as revenue and conversions. Items that were spending budget without generating sales internally referred to as “villains” were moved into a separate low-budget campaign. This ensured that the main campaigns could prioritize products that were already proving profitable.
This setup allowed us to scale aggressively while keeping the majority of spend focused on the products generating the highest return.
Execution
During the Q4 period we focused on three main areas:
Performance Max Scaling
Performance Max campaigns were continuously optimized and scaled to capture as much demand as possible during peak shopping periods.
Product Feed Improvements
The product feed was refined to improve product visibility and relevance in Shopping placements.
Strategic Budget Increases
Budgets were increased gradually as performance stabilized, allowing the campaigns to scale without sacrificing ROAS.
Results
The strategy allowed the brand to fully leverage the surge in holiday demand.
