Achieving 74% Increased Revenue: Optimizing Product Listing Ads for a Kitchenware Brand

The Client

A Renowned Kitchenware Brand

A US-based eCommerce seller that deals in high-end kitchenware products caters to both residential customers and commercial kitchens. They sell everything, from professional-grade appliances to luxury cookware, through their own WordPress-based (WooCommerce) website.

 

The Business Problem

Inefficient PPC Campaigns Resulting in Low Conversions and Wasted Ad Spend

Despite running PPC campaigns on their own for over a year, the client saw little to no improvement in key metrics. They were facing:

  • Low Traffic: Campaigns failed to attract sufficient website traffic.
  • Poor Engagement: Even with ads running, engagement metrics were slumped.
  • Declining Sales: The ads didn’t convert well into sales or leads.
  • Ineffective RoAS: Their Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) remained consistently low, indicating inefficiency in the campaigns.
  • High ACoS: Advertising Cost of Sale (ACoS) was far above acceptable levels, leading to wasted ad spend.

They were unable to identify the underlying issues and, as a result, were only burning through their marketing budget without any clear path to improvement. Which is why they were seeking an eCommerce PPC service for sellers like themselves.

 

Challenges Identified

PPC Roadblocks and Inefficiencies in Bidding Strategy

After auditing the client’s PPC campaigns, we identified several key gaps:

  • High Bounce Rate (65%): Consistent low on-site traffic, indicating poor landing page alignment.
  • Low Conversion Rates (1.2%): Campaigns attracted visitors but failed to convert them into customers.
  • Ineffective Keyword Strategy: Ads were showing for irrelevant search terms, wasting budget.
  • Weak Ad Copies: Generic messaging failed to engage the target audience.
  • Inefficient Bid Management: Poor balance between cost control and competitive targeting.

Based on this, we proposed a full-fledged Google Ads optimization solution to rebuild their campaigns from scratch.

Our Solution

Targeted eCommerce PPC Optimization for Google Ads

To address their PPC challenges, we created a multi-step Google Ads optimization and eCommerce PPC strategy for the kitchenware retailer. It included:

Competitor Analysis

We analyzed competitors to identify differences in traffic distribution and user behavior, gaining valuable insights for strategy improvements.

Campaign Segmentation

Our experts then organized the account into separate campaigns, dividing the audience into MECI (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive) grids. This segmentation allowed for more targeted strategies, delivering the right message to the right audience.

Ad Copy Optimization

We conducted thorough keyword research, incorporating long-tail, intent-based keywords to enhance relevance and targeting. We then created catchy titles and engaging ad content that resonated with the target audience.

Keyword Refinement

We also eliminated underperforming and irrelevant keywords to optimize ad spend and improve campaign efficiency.

Conversion Tracking and A/B Testing

To see what worked and what did not, we regularly ran A/B tests on ad copies and monitored campaign performance. We:

  • Measured specific actions (e.g., purchases, form submissions).
  • Tested various ad copies and landing page combinations.
  • Tracked campaign performance to ensure ongoing improvements.

Bid Strategy Refinement

As they were also facing issues because of inefficient bid management, we refined their bidding strategy based on the insights into campaign performance. The following adjustments were made:

  • Targeted ROAS and CPA: Adjusted bid strategies to automatically optimize for a specific Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) or Cost per Acquisition (CPA).
  • Device-based Campaign Settings: Modified bids based on device performance, geographic location, and time-of-day, allocating higher bids to high-converting areas.
  • Negative Keyword Usage: Continually added negative keywords to avoid unnecessary bidding on irrelevant search terms.
  • Automated Bidding: Used strategies like Enhanced CPC or Maximize Conversions to streamline bid adjustments.

Through our targeted eCommerce PPC services and strategic Google Ads campaign optimization, the client saw remarkable improvements.
