Real account problems. Clearer paths to growth.

A closer look at the account structure, feed, and search-query work behind healthier Google Ads performance.

Selected work

Three common ecommerce problems, untangled.

The strongest result is an account that becomes easier to understand, control, and improve after the initial win.

DTC Apparel | Shopify | $45k/moGoogle Ads management

Shopping and Performance Max restructure for an apparel brand

Blended ROAS improved from 3.1 to 4.6 over 90 days. Non-brand efficiency stabilized, waste dropped, and performance became easier to trust week to week.

Starting point

The account had overlapping Shopping and PMax coverage, weak branded demand separation, and inflated ROAS caused by brand-heavy traffic being absorbed into the wrong campaign types.

Home Goods | Shopify Plus | $80k/moMonitoring & management

Merchant Center recovery and PMax cleanup for a home goods brand

Critical disapprovals were cleared within three weeks, PMax revenue rose 38% inside 60 days, and the account moved from reactive troubleshooting to structured optimization.

Starting point

The account had hundreds of disapproved products, no useful PMax segmentation, and three declining months of performance with no clear explanation from prior management.

Supplements | WooCommerce | $30k/moAccount audit

Non-brand search cleanup for a supplements account

Non-brand CPC dropped 22% over 45 days, conversion rate improved, and the account became easier to scale without paying for noise.

Starting point

High CPCs, weak match-type discipline, and no meaningful negative-keyword process had pushed non-brand campaigns into an expensive pattern of low-intent traffic.
