PPC Results
The Background
A fast-growing e-commerce business approached Kadima to improve its underperforming Google Ads campaign. Despite steady ad spend, the campaign was generating minimal conversions and a high Cost Per Acquisition (CPA).
In January, the brand recorded 453 clicks, 3 purchases, and a total spend of $1,120, resulting in a CPA of $374, far above industry benchmarks. The client’s goal was to improve cost efficiency, increase conversions, and enhance ROI from paid media channels.
The Challenge
“High Costs, Low Returns”
The existing Google Ads setup lacked precision in targeting, keyword alignment, and conversion focus.
Key issues identified included:
- !Overly broad and irrelevant keyword targeting.
- !Generic ad copy with limited audience resonance.
- !Poor segmentation across audience demographics and geographies.
- !Insufficient campaign monitoring and performance tracking.
To improve performance, Kadima needed to rebuild the campaign architecture around data-driven keyword intent, precise targeting, and measurable performance outcomes.
The Solution
“Strategic, Data-Driven, and ROI-Focused”
Kadima implemented a full-funnel Google Ads optimization plan to maximize conversions and reduce acquisition costs.
1. Keyword Optimization
- Conducted in-depth keyword research to identify high-value, intent-based terms aligned with product offerings.
- Eliminated irrelevant and underperforming keywords.
- Expanded keyword list to capture transactional and long-tail opportunities for stronger visibility and qualified traffic.
2. Ad Copy Revision
- Audited and rewrote ad copy to increase engagement and clarity.
- Added compelling headlines, strong CTAs, and clear value propositions emphasizing product benefits.
- Tailored ad variations for each product segment to improve click-through rates and ad relevance.
3. Target Audience Refinement
- Refined audience segmentation to reach the most relevant demographic and geographic groups.
- Adjusted targeting parameters to focus spend on converting users.
- Improved alignment between ad intent, audience profile, and landing page experience.
4. Performance Monitoring & Continuous Optimization
- Implemented advanced conversion tracking through Google Analytics and Ads dashboards.
- Established ongoing monitoring of key performance metrics — CTR, conversions, and CPA.
- Conducted iterative optimizations based on campaign insights, maintaining a data-led decision framework.
The Transformation
Before-and-After Data Summary:
| KPI | Before (Jan) | After (May) | Before vs after | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Ad Spend | $1,120 | $1,100 | -1.8% | |
| Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) | $374 | $61.25 | -84% |
