Channel Insight: Search campaigns (Brand + Non-Brand) remain the highest ROAS channel at 3.08x, driven by Branded Search USA. PMax campaigns represent the largest budget share at 32.5% with a 1.33x ROAS. Demand Gen and Video are awareness/upper-funnel plays with sub-1x direct ROAS, contributing to brand visibility and indirect conversions.
12. Strategic Direction: Mid-November Shift
Forward Strategy

Reallocating Budget Toward Best Performers

  • Moving away from Google's automated recommendations for Non-Branded Search campaigns, which were driving high CPAs ($205-$220) with sub-0.5x ROAS. Instead, manual optimization and tighter keyword targeting are being applied to improve efficiency.
  • Decreasing investment in Demand Generation ($60K in Sept at 0.74x ROAS) and Video Views ($46K at 0.01x ROAS). These upper-funnel awareness campaigns are being scaled back to redirect budget toward revenue-generating channels.
  • Reallocating freed-up budget toward the best-performing campaigns: Branded Search USA (3.78x ROAS), GRO Ageless PMax (3.08x ROAS), Scalp Duo PMax (2.18x ROAS), and Shopping USA (2.05x ROAS) to increase overall account ROAS.
  • NCAC campaigns continue to be a priority, acquiring new customers at $145 vs. the $332 account average. The dedicated NCAC structure (5 campaigns, 95.9% new customer rate) will be maintained and monitored for scaling opportunities.
  • Goal: Increase blended account ROAS from 1.63x by concentrating spend on campaigns that are already proving profitable, while maintaining enough upper-funnel presence to feed the conversion pipeline.
