INCREASE IN SEARCH & SHOPPING REVENUE

ROAS INCREASE

As the products are living/perishable, seasonal targeting was required. A comprehensive keyword strategy with 20,000+ keywords was required for an ever-changing inventory.
We used a multi-tiered approach for reaching new customers – using existing audience segments to reach high-value multi-buyers, and created additional tiers of communication for instant converters, slow converters and in-market.
All products with keywords researched, however volume of terms required meant effective management would prove tough and a number would fall under the “limited search volume” category.
Therefore we built specific campaigns:
We built two bespoke tools to assist with this project; a share of voice (SOV) tool and a bespoke crawler. Our unique share of voice tool tracked SOV for both organic and PPC visibility which enabled us to react to the data collected.
The SOV tool also highlights areas where Organic Search visibility is low compared to competition, which again can assist us in our targeting strategy.

We increased site revenue by 69%.
Increased new customer acquisition by 189%
Paid Media % of site revenue grew from 6.6% to 27.2% (vs. target of 18%).
Incremental spend per customer increased by 26% (vs. target of 15%).
