Google Ads Case Study: £1K Spend to £22.8K Revenue

This case study shows how I helped an e-commerce store generate £22.8K in revenue while keeping the ad spend to only £1,070. By optimizing the campaign structure, improving the funnel, and removing wasted spend, the store earned strong results with a very low budget.

Below is the campaign performance screenshot:

1. The Challenge

The client was spending too much on ads but not getting stable results. The goal of this campaign was simple:

  • Reduce ad spend
  • Increase return on ad spend (ROAS)
  • Maintain or improve revenue
  • Remove weak keywords
  • Improve purchase conversion rate

The target was to generate the same revenue with less cost and that’s exactly what happened.

2. What I Did to Improve the Results

To reduce the Google Ads cost and still hit high revenue, I optimized the whole setup:

🔹 A. Removed Wasted Spend

I paused:

  • Broad keywords
  • High CPC terms
  • Low-quality search queries
  • Unprofitable audiences

This alone saved a big portion of the budget.

🔹 B. Focused on High-Intent Keywords

I kept only the terms that showed:

  • Strong purchase intent
  • High click-through rate
  • Proven conversions

This increased conversion efficiency.

🔹 C. Improved the Shopping Feed & Product Data

Better product titles and clean feed data helped Google understand the products better and show them to the right shoppers.

🔹 D. Used Smart Bidding + Audience Signals

I used:

  • Maximize Conversion Value
  • Target ROAS
  • In-market shopping audiences
  • Custom intent audiences

This boosted ROAS and reduced cost.
