The Business Needs
Understanding the Challenge of Maximizing Google Ads ROI for a Specialist Oral Care FMCG Brand
In the competitive Oral Care FMCG category, where consumers purchase based on trust in the product, ingredient clarity, and brand credibility, paid search is a major driver of capturing high-intent consumers actively seeking tartar removal solutions. This brand already had a Google Ads campaign, but wasn’t maximizing the value of their ad dollars; the campaigns had not been properly structured, targeted, or optimized for conversion tracking to meet the challenges of a competitive PPC marketplace.
Campaigns weren’t being managed efficiently and were not reaching audiences with purchase intent, leading to clicks with no conversion and opportunities to capture buyers at the most commercially valuable moments in their search journey. Lacking a set system to manage bids and monitor performance, the campaigns were not continuously evolving and optimized to be more efficient over time.
Conversion tracking wasn’t properly set up, preventing the brand from being able to measure the conversions and leads it generates from each specific campaign, ad group, or keyword — which is needed to make smart decisions about budget allocation. Although Google Tag Manager was part of the tech stack, it was not being fully leveraged for tracking and measurement.
The brand required a dedicated partner to take a deep dive into the existing Google Ads campaigns, restructure as required, set up proper conversion tracking, and manage all future optimizations with the consistency and know-how to see a meaningful and measurable improvement in the performance of the campaigns and return on ad spend.
About Our Client: Jason, President of TarBlast, engaged TarBlast for a Google Ads management engagement to improve TarBlast’s paid search performance, with a clear commercial objective of improving conversion rates and maximizing the efficiency of the brand’s Google Ads investment across its tartar removal and oral care product range.
Our Approach
Delivering Structured, Data-Driven Google Ads Management to Drive Conversion Growth for an Oral Care FMCG Brand
For a brand that sells oral care products, this client had to close the gap on their conversion metrics and needed to generate revenue growth.This client was a brand that sells oral care products and needed to make up for the lack in conversions and to drive revenue growth through Structured, Data-Driven Google Ads Management.
TarBlast started by conducting a thorough audit of TarBlast’s current Google Ads campaign to see how it was performing across all campaigns, keyword targeting, ad copy quality, bidding strategies, audience configurations, and conversion tracking setup and how they were doing against all the improvement areas.
The audit identified a mix of structural inefficiencies and tracking issues working together to hold back the performance of the campaigns. Campaign restructuring was a priority so that ad groups can be tightly themed around specific intents of a search for tartar removal and oral care products, and match types were set to match the intent of the keywords — high-intent keywords but avoiding the waste of using a broad match type for less-relevant queries.
Each ad campaign’s ad copy was reviewed and updated, with messaging tailored to the purchase intent signals of each ad group and emphasising the benefits of TarBlast’s products, its effectiveness of tartar removal and its credibility as a brand that resonates with a health-conscious FMCG audience. A/B testing frameworks were put in place and ongoing tests were carried out on the ad copy performance in the campaign portfolio.
In order to implement the full conversion tracking on all important user interactions, Google Tag Manager was set up to track all relevant interactions, from product browsing till adding to cart, up to the successful checkout on the WooCommerce websites. This tracking infrastructure provided TarBlast with the clarity to accurately track campaign performance and make confident, data-driven optimization decisions.
Bidding strategies were reviewed and managed on an ongoing basis – smart bidding options were dialled in giving more focus on optimizing for conversion value instead of clicks, thus ensuring that budgets were always being spent on the audiences and keywords that were most likely to convert to a paying customer. Negative keyword lists were created and kept to prevent the vast amount of wasted spend on irrelevant searches.
Regular reporting gave the client full transparency and visibility of the campaign metrics, conversion performance, and ROI on their ad investment over time, while ongoing campaign monitoring and monthly optimization cycles helped to build on the performance over time.
