Breaking Through Performance Limits

Despite running Ads, Empire Sheds had trouble making its campaigns profitable and scaling effectively in the competitive online market.

We had to overcome:

Poor Google Ads Performance

Their campaigns weren’t producing the desired results due to incorrect setup.

Backend Tracking Issues

Revenue tracking in GA4 was inaccurate, preventing proper performance analysis.

No Shopping Ads

The absence of shopping ads limited their ability to target high-intent customers.

Merchant Centre Problems

The Merchant Centre was poorly configured, restricting product visibility and ad performance.

These issues led to wasted ad spend, inefficiency, and stagnant profitability.

How We Delivered a 582% ROI Increase

Through a strategic, data-driven approach, we resolved these issues and improved Empire Sheds’ digital performance:

Campaign Restructuring

We corrected the Google Ads setup to improve targeting, relevance, and efficiency, ensuring the ads reached the right audience.

Tracking Optimisation

We implemented accurate revenue tracking in GA4 and resolved backend tracking errors, ensuring more reliable data and insights.

Shopping Ads Launch

Frequently Asked Questions

What does PPC stand for?

PPC stands for pay-per-click. It refers to the core functionality of the PPC model – you only pay each time a person clicks on your advert.

What is PPC and how does it work in the UK?

PPC (pay-per-click) is an advertising method that includes bidding on specific keywords against your competitors to earn a spot at the top of Google search results. You don’t earn the visits organically, instead, you pay per visit driven via your PPC ad.

How long does it take for PPC ads to increase sales?

Your site will receive traffic from Google Ads shortly after publishing the campaign. They appear on searches after a few hours, and you can expect results within one or two weeks. If you would like more information on how a campaign can help you, please call our experts

Is SEO or PPC Better?

It depends on your goals, but a combination is often the best solution. SEO can drive more traffic than PPC and the organically increased ranking lasts longer. However, PPC ads appear before organic listings on the results page and give you immediate benefits, unlike SEO which can take months to bring any significant gains.

So, PPC is a good target approach if you want to boost a particular area of your business at a specific time. SEO is a long-term strategy that helps grow your digital presence steadily over time. Luckily, we offer both, so get in touch and let’s discuss what package works best for you.
