10. CASE STUDY
@Matt_Umbro
• ECOMMERCE CLIENT
• ROI AND REVENUE ARE PRIMARY GOALS –
ALL OTHER METRICS ARE SECONDARY
• JULY AND AUGUST ARE SLOW WHILE
TRAFFIC PICKS UP IN SEPTEMBER
• OCTOBER IS SLOWEST MONTH OF YEAR
• TRAFFIC PICKS UP IN NOVEMBER
18. CASE STUDY
@Matt_Umbro
• AS WE ACCRUED MORE TRAFFIC AND WENT
FOR A GREATER SHARE OF THE
MARKETPLACE, COST PER CLICK
INCREASED
• TRANSACTIONS AND REVENUE FOLLOWED
SEASONAL TRENDS
19. CASE STUDY
@Matt_Umbro
• CONVERSION RATE STEADILY INCREASED
FROM JULY TO JANUARY
• AOV INCREASED MONTH OVER MONTH,
ALLOWING ROI TO REMAIN CONSISTENT
• COST PER TRANSACTION STEADILY
INCREASED MONTH OVER MONTH DUE TO
GREATER VOLUME OF CLICKS AND HIGHER
AVERAGE COST PER CLICKS
29. DYNAMIC REMARKETING
@Matt_Umbro
• ALWAYS TEST AT LEAST 2 – 3 SETS OF ADS
• USE A TRANSPARENT LOGO
• TEST USING SAME BUTTON COLOR IN YOUR
ADS AS ON SITE
• EXCLUDE POORLY CONVERTING
PLACEMENTS
41. TAKEAWAYS
@Matt_Umbro
• RAPID REVENUE GROWTH IS POSSIBLE BUT
AT LEAST ONE EFFICIENCY METRIC WILL BE
IMPACTED
• WHEN PUSHING VOLUME, BUILD AND
ITERATE
• TOP OF FUNNEL CAMPAIGNS ARE
NECESSARY WHEN PUSHING VOLUME
42. TAKEAWAYS
@Matt_Umbro
• EVEN THOUGH LAST CLICK METRICS WON’T
BE GREAT, TOF CAMPAIGNS HELP IN OTHER
AREAS
• HIGHER BIDS DON’T ALWAYS EQUAL
PROPORTIONAL REVENUE GROWTH
• AS ALWAYS, ENSURE A SOLID ACCOUNT
FOUNDATION
Improving ROI means sacrificing volume to improve efficiency. For example, no matter how many orders come in, you have to have a 400% ROI or you are losing money.
You may also have to hit a certain cost per conversion or ad per sale.

- Clicks remain steady through end of October and then increase in November
- We see large increases from November to December and December to January
- Similarly, revenue and transactions ebb and flow a bit July – Nov and then really increase in December and January
We see the traffic progression, but what about efficiency
As we progress, CPC begins to increase
Starting in November, clicks increase, but those clicks are more expensive
- As revenue increased, ad/sale remained fairly consistent (except for November)
- As revenue increased, ROI remained somewhat consistent
- We did see increases in cost per transaction as revenue increased – we’re able to sacrifice CPA in order to hit revenue and ROI goals.
Get your hands dirty!
Bid aggressively on broad match terms
Assign negative audiences to campaigns
Everything was very relevant, just costs were high
DSAs capture what we aren’t bidding on
Only run Dynamic Search Ads if 75% of your site’s keywords are already in text ad campaigns
Dynamic Search Ads should be in their own campaign and need the DSA ad extension
Begin with an all webpages dynamic ad target at a low bid
DSAs have 4 dynamic ad targets which also allow for exclusions (eg: blog, resources, tips, etc)
Add negative keywords to DSA campaigns, including positive keywords from your text ad campaigns
Expansion
