About the client

An online sportswear retailer.

The business sells sportswear online to shoppers across the UK. Its UK Google Ads account joined us in December 2025.

We publish a client's name only with their written permission, so this case describes the business by its sector and region. The results are from its own Google Ads account.

What we did

Run the account, every month, from its own data.

Our team manages the account on our Standard package, with a named account manager.

James, our AI account manager, also added negative keywords from the account's own search data, so the ads stop showing for searches that would not bring a customer. Each one was confirmed by Google, and the account manager can override or undo any of them.

The results

Four times the online sales, on a quarter more spend.

We compared its first three months with us (December 2025 to February 2026) against June to August 2026.

What each figure means

  • Online sales 4.1xThe ads brought in just over four times as many online sales as in the first three months.
  • Sales value 4.8xThe value of those sales, as the account recorded it, rose almost fivefold.
  • Return on ad spend 3.8xEvery pound on the ads brought back 3.8 times what it did at the start.
  • Spend up 26%All of this on about a quarter more ad spend.

How we worked this out

Same measure, both periods, from Google's own figures.

Every figure compares the account's online purchase conversion, which counted in both periods. Figures are Google Ads' own, read from the client's account in October 2026, so the client sees the same numbers in their account.

Winter against summer, so some of the change is season.

We show changes as percentages and multiples only. The client's own numbers, such as spend and sales, stay private.

About this result

Why is the business not named?

We publish a client's name only with their written permission. Until then we describe the business by its sector and region. The figures are from its own Google Ads account either way.

How were these figures worked out?

We compared its first three months with us (December 2025 to February 2026) against June to August 2026, using the account's online purchase conversion, which counted in both periods. We show percentages and multiples only, so the client's own numbers stay private.

Can you promise the same results for my business?

No. No marketing strategy can guarantee results, and we say so before you sign up. Every business starts from a different place, so this is an example of what happened, not a promise.
