2.8x Total Sales in Under a Quarter

Overview

On reception this cosmetics brand had a decent PPC setup led by the founder. Nothing wrong with that, except that in most cosmetics niches, 'decent' doesn't cut it. Our fee was 3x the former PPC manager's cost, but we delivered 8x our fee in extra net profit in Q1 alone.

The Challenge

Decent setup, but 'decent' doesn't cut it in cosmetics.

'Decent' PPC setup insufficient for competitive cosmetics niche

Budget not allocated to top-performing assets

No negation strategy causing wasteful spend

Bidding tracked against ACoS instead of rank and profit

Global Negation + Rank-Based Bidding

Our Approach

Revamped the entire setup. Tracked PPC against rank and profit, not ACoS or ad spend vs sales. Your PPC partner should be an investment, not a cost.

Q1 alone

2.8x total sales, 3x ad spend, 2.4x net profits in under 90 days. Our fee was 3x the former manager's, but we delivered 8x our fee in extra net profit in Q1 alone. This proves why 'How much?' is the wrong question to ask.

Key Learnings

Main Driver of Change

Global Negation deployed in 5 days plus rank-based bidding instead of ACoS tracking. The immediate waste elimination freed up budget that was redirected into single-keyword campaigns on the highest-converting terms. The combination tripled ad spend while improving efficiency.

What's Next

The foundation is locked in with 2.4x net profit growth already delivered. Q2 is scaling the approach further, expanding the single-keyword campaign structure to additional high-converting search terms identified during Q1.
