Budget doubled, profitability held, on the same account

The account was already running. Nobody was steering it. In fifteen days, with no new tool and no new media agency, generated revenue rose 56 % — on double the budget, still profitable.

Search vs Performance Max campaign comparison

01 · context

Where they started

Three venues, a live Google Ads account, and revenue declining steadily since January.

Campaigns were running unmanaged. Brand queries weren't excluded, which meant paying for customers who were coming anyway. Search and Performance Max had never been compared. And the budget stayed frozen, out of fear of losing control of a system nobody knew how to read.

02 · what we did

Our work

  • 01
    Clean before you addExcluded broad-match brand queries, removed off-target keywords. Every euro recovered funds a search that actually converts.
  • 02
    Compare what had never been comparedReturn on ad spend calculated per campaign, search against Performance Max. We built a reusable analysis view directly in the interface, so the client could repeat the exercise alone.
  • 03
    Raise the budget with a control methodReturn on spend drops when you raise budget. That's normal, and it isn't a problem as long as absolute revenue climbs. Showing this unlocked a budget doubling that would never have been approved otherwise.
  • 04
    Follow what the data was already showingGoogle was serving the campaign on quiz-related searches: €3 spent, €66 generated. Competition there turned out to be low and bids cheap. A dedicated campaign was built during the session.

July, before and after optimisation. Best month of the year for the client, against a decline running since January.

Practices involved

Acquisition only, on an existing account. The value didn't come from a new tool but from a way of reading the data: knowing what to compare, what to exclude, and when to scale.
