DTC Skincare Brand - Scaling Paid Search Profitably
Challenge
A fast-growing DTC skincare brand was spending $15K/month on Google Ads with diminishing returns. Their ROAS had dropped below 2× and customer acquisition costs were climbing. They needed to scale to $45K/month without sacrificing profitability.
Approach
I restructured their Shopping campaigns with single-product ad groups, launched Performance Max with curated asset groups, and implemented a tiered bidding strategy based on product margin. I also fixed their GA4 setup to ensure accurate conversion attribution.
Results
Within 90 days, ROAS improved from 1.9× to 5.3× while tripling monthly spend. CPA dropped by 42%, and the brand added $120K in incremental revenue per quarter. The restructured account continues to scale profitably.
