Timeframe

Baseline

The account was already active but unstable under scale.

Pre-Optimization Snapshot (30-day avg):

Monthly Spend₹5.2L
Monthly Revenue₹22L
ROAS4.2×
CAC₹2,100
AOV₹6,800
New Customer Revenue Share~41%

Problem:
Revenue existed, but ROAS dipped sharply whenever budgets were increased.

Core Challenges

  • Brand search inflating overall ROAS
  • Heavy reliance on remarketing for conversions
  • Performance Max cannibalising Search & Shopping
  • Poor visibility into new customer acquisition cost
  • High-ticket AOV meant CAC volatility hurt margins fast

This was a premium product, not a volume play. Precision mattered.

Strategic Decisions

What Actually Changed

What Was Cut

  • Broad beauty keywords with low purchase intent
  • Generic PMax campaigns with no exclusions
  • Mixed asset groups combining wigs, extensions, and accessories

What Was Rebuilt

  • Full separation of:
    • Brand
    • Non-Brand High Intent
    • Shopping (Hero SKUs only)
    • Performance Max (Prospecting only)
  • Shopping campaigns split by:
    • Price bands
    • Top-margin SKUs

What Was Scaled

  • Search terms with repeat purchase intent
  • High-AOV product categories
  • Feed-optimised Shopping over broad Search

Performance Max

How It Was Actually Used

Signals

  • Purchase value
  • Product-level conversion data
  • Category-specific intent signals

Strict Exclusions

  • Brand keywords
  • All remarketing & customer match lists
  • Low-margin and entry SKUs

Asset Segmentation

  • Separate asset groups for:
    • Hair extensions
    • Wigs
    • Premium collections
  • Price-aligned creatives per group

Outcome: PMax acted as a new customer acquisition layer, not a brand cannibal.

Growth came from better buyers, not recycled traffic.

Why This Worked

This Is the Real Lesson

  • ROAS was broken down, not celebrated
  • High-ticket AOV demanded CAC discipline
  • PMax was controlled, not blindly trusted
  • Scaling followed margin stability, not spend appetite
  • Most beauty brands scale noise.
  • This one scaled intent.

Final Takeaway

This case proves Google Ads can scale a premium hair & beauty brand without hiding behind brand traffic or remarketing-heavy ROAS.

  • The difference wasn’t tactics.
  • It was decision discipline under scale.
