01Changes and their effect

Changes and their effect

Each row is one account. The problem is where it started, the change is my work, the result is a number and the period it covers.

+30 %

Outdoor equipment store

Problem
Campaign structure did not match the range, and the feed lacked the attributes people search by.
Change
Audit, structural rebuild, then product feed optimization.
Result
Growth above 30 %, cost of sale unchanged. Two more stores followed after the first year; we are in the third season.

Store after eighteen months elsewhere

Problem
Budget poured into a structure that could not spend it well.
Change
Rebuilding the structure before touching the budget.
Result
Three times the orders at a ROAS above 5.
7.58

Store, 14 months in

Problem
Budget split evenly, regardless of where a click pays for itself.
Change
Tactical campaigns where the margin carries the cost of a click.
Result
ROAS 7.58 with orders tripled over the year.
78 → 141

New store, starting from zero

Problem
No history and no data for the algorithm to learn from.
Change
Building the account, the tracking and the campaigns from scratch.
Result
78 orders in month one, 141 in month two at a ROAS of 4.27.
3,366

Catalog with thousands of products

Problem
Feed titles and attributes did not match how people search, and editing the store meant waiting on a developer.
Change
A supplemental source for Merchant Center, with no change to the store.
Result
3,366 products rewritten in a day. More accounts run the same setup.
3,000

International marketplace

Problem
Hundreds of thousands of items across more than ten markets. Manual management makes no sense at that scale.
Change
Building campaigns through the Google Ads API instead of clicking through the interface.
Result
3,000 granular PLA campaigns across 12 countries in a week. After a structural rebuild and feed work, revenue from US PLA campaigns grew by roughly 40 %.
3 of 5

Five inherited accounts

Problem
The Conversions metric mixed purchases with store visits and add-to-cart.
Change
Sorting the conversion actions out before any optimization.
Result
Three of the five were optimizing toward a number that did not mean revenue. Not any more.
02Case studies from feed enrichment

Case studies from feed enrichment

Four client accounts, measured against a control group of products from the same catalog. Each study links to the full report, which is in Czech.

Case study #1Client PMax account48 products22 days
+719 %Conversion value

The +719 % is conversion value, not clicks. Clicks went from 480 to 1,582, gross; net of the control group trend, +260 %. The enriched products grew well above the rest of the catalog.

Case study #2Client PMax account138 products22 days
+144 %Clicks

I am not reporting revenue yet. The conversion sample is small; I will add it once there is enough to defend.

Case study #3Client PMax account193 products22 days
+394 %Clicks

Roughly five times the traffic, but with a mixed signal on quality. The breakdown is in the report.

Case study #4Client PMax account620 products13 days
+41 %CTR in the winning subcategory

The average across all products was only +8 %. Splitting it by subcategory is what showed where it landed and where it did not.

03What clients say

What clients say

This is our third season working with Karel. We started with an audit and changes to campaign structure, then moved on to optimizing the product feed. The result was growth of over 30 % at an unchanged cost of sale. After the first year we handed him our two other stores as well.

04Where I learned this

Where I learned this

Besides my own clients, two large brands.

Alza.cz

Consumer electronics, accountable for revenue and return. A large catalog and margins where a bad decision shows within a week.

International marketplace

Today I lead Shopping campaigns and product data across more than ten markets. Hundreds of thousands of items and thousands of granular campaigns built through the API.

My own clients

Online stores with budgets from $10k to several hundred thousand a month. Fashion, electronics, automotive and supplements.

05Why there are no names and logos

Why there are no names and logos

Most clients have a confidentiality clause. So I quote the numbers anonymized, without naming the store.

For the feed enrichment case studies I measure against a control group of products from the same account and subtract the seasonal trend. Where the data will not carry that, I say so next to the number instead of claiming credit for it.
