Shopping and Performance Max restructure for an apparel brand

Blended ROAS jumped from 3.1 to 4.6 in 90 days. Non-brand efficiency stabilized, waste dropped, and weekly results became easier to trust.

The starting point

Shopping and PMax overlapped, brand traffic wasn’t separated, and ROAS looked inflated because brand searches were landing in the wrong campaigns.

Inside the work

Audited search queries across Search, Shopping, and PMax to find where brand traffic was misattributed.

What I did

  1. Audited search queries across Search, Shopping, and PMax to find where brand traffic was misattributed.
  2. Created a dedicated brand campaign and tightened negative keywords across non-brand campaigns.
  3. Rebuilt campaigns around product categories and merchandising priorities.
  4. Added n-gram reviews to cut recurring wasted search terms.
  5. Split promotional products from the core catalog so budgets matched business goals.
