Lazy Susan is a high-end garden furniture retailer. They approached us to improve the performance of their PPC campaigns – this started off as getting the foundations of the account in order, then once the account was in good health, we’ve since been able to grow the campaigns even further by implementing call tracking, optimising their feeds and pulling revenue data into their Google Ads and Microsoft Ads accounts.

We increased revenue and return on ad spend (ROAS) by 23% and 24% respectively in the first year. We then increased this further in our second year by 196% for revenue and 79% for ROAS to an incredible 1,530%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Amazon Advertising and Google Shopping campaigns are the big names in eCommerce advertising. They specialise in targeting shoppers who are ready to buy now. They are also effective at capturing leads during earlier stages of the buying process. So you can also target people when they are researching, comparing and browsing.

Advertising costs vary for every business. There’s no reason eCommerce PPC services should be more expensive than other industries. If you have a large website, campaign management is more complex. However, eCommerce CPCs and CPAs are generally among the lowest.

To calculate the ROI of your eCommerce PPC strategy, you divide the revenue generated by your campaigns by the money spent on them. Then multiply the result by 100% (ROI = revenue / spend x 100%). Calculating ROI at the campaign and ad group level is more complex because users can interact with many ads before taking action. So you need an attribution system that passes credit to each interaction.

First, we identify your goals and the best advertising platforms for achieving them. Then, we develop an eCommerce PPC strategy that covers the entire customer cycle, from the first search to the sale on your website. We manage a system of lead generation, lead nurturing and conversion optimisation. This will increase the volume of potential customers and sales.

Yes, the vast majority of online shops should run PPC ads. Purchase intent on eCommerce platforms is high and costs are relatively low. This makes them an attractive marketing option. No other channel cuts the queue to the very end of the buying process like eCommerce PPC networks. Every online store with an advertising budget should test-run some campaigns.

The challenges of PPC for eCommerce vary from one platform to the next but scale is a common issue for large retailers. Managing large product fees, complex websites and campaigns structures is a challenge. However, automation helps solve a lot of these problems.
 
Shifting consumer trends and competition are two other common challenges for retailers. We solve these by using big data to track (and predict) trends. This allows us to pre-emptively optimise campaigns. For example, increasing bids ahead of demand surges to maximise visibility and profit ahead of your competitors.
