Google Ads Audit for eCommerce Shelving Company

Google Ads and Facebook Ads Account

This account has done well across the board with an average 3X ROAS. Search Campaigns and Smart Campaigns are the highest performing campaigns. The most obvious opportunities for improvement would come from shifting impressions and clicks over to search , where you are significantly more efficient in generating ROAS. Search Impression share was ~20% since the beginning of 2022 which means there is more opportunity out there on the search side. With that said, P Max Campaigns are going to be replacing Smart Shopping long-term and it is recommended to create and optimize these before the switch is forced on to your existing campaigns. We could also try some regular shopping campaigns that offer more complete control over targeting and demographics through bid adjustments. 

Facebook Ads have produced typical results for the platform. The lack of backend conversion data tied to the campaigns and lack of maintenance to the campaigns are great starting points to transition into more effective Facebook and Instagram campaigns.
