The brief

A South African cosmetics store wanted profitable paid search without an in-house team. Tracking had to be built before any budget was spent.

What we did

  • Set up Google Ads, GA4 and Google Tag Manager so purchases and revenue were tracked accurately.
  • Structured Performance Max campaigns by province and product range so budget could be managed where margins were best.
  • Reviewed campaign-level cost per conversion weekly and moved spend to the strongest performers.

Results

In the last 30 days of the period shown, 132 purchases worth R213K came from R29.7K of spend, an actual ROAS of 717%. The best campaign ran at a R252 cost per conversion.
