Google Ads + Meta E-Commerce 90-Day Study

Scaling Revenue While Maintaining Profitable ROAS

A mid-sized online retailer needed to scale ad spend during Q4 without sacrificing profitability. Legacy manual bid management was reactive and time-consuming.

The Challenge

The client was spending $45K/month across Google Shopping and Meta DPA campaigns but struggled to scale beyond this threshold without seeing diminishing returns. Manual bid adjustments took 8–12 hours weekly, and there was no systematic way to detect anomalies or budget pacing issues.

Our Approach

We implemented our Paid Ad Automation Software with the following configuration:

  • Automated budget pacing with daily spend caps
  • Goal-based bid adjustments tied to target ROAS thresholds
  • Real-time anomaly alerts for underperforming product groups
  • Creative rotation testing for top-performing SKUs
  • Negative keyword automation to prevent wasted spend

We established a 30-day baseline, configured guardrails to prevent overspending, and ran the automation for 90 days with weekly optimization reviews.

"Search Envy is transparent, efficient, and effective. The automation gave us confidence to scale without worrying about runaway budgets or missed opportunities."

— Marketing Director, E-Commerce Client

Methodology Notes

Baseline ROAS was calculated over 30 days pre-automation. Post-automation results reflect 90-day averages with the same product mix and seasonality controls. All metrics were validated via platform reporting and Google Analytics 4.

LinkedIn + Google Ads B2B SaaS 120-Day Study

Reducing Cost-Per-Lead While Maintaining Quality

A B2B SaaS company was generating leads but at an unsustainable CPA. They needed better targeting, bid efficiency, and lead quality filtering without reducing volume.

The Challenge

The client was spending $28K/month on LinkedIn Sponsored Content and Google Search campaigns with a CPA of $420. While lead volume was acceptable, 40% of leads were unqualified (wrong company size, industry, or job title), making the true CPA much higher when accounting for sales team time.

Our Approach

We deployed automation focused on improving targeting precision and bid efficiency:

  • Automated negative keyword lists based on search query analysis
  • LinkedIn audience refinement with company size and seniority filters
  • Bid adjustments based on lead qualification scores from CRM integration
  • Budget reallocation from low-converting audiences to high-intent segments
  • Creative testing with statistical significance thresholds

We integrated with their HubSpot CRM to track lead quality and feed data back into bid decisions. The system learned which audience segments produced sales-qualified leads and adjusted budgets accordingly.

"The transparency was game-changing. We could see exactly which audiences and keywords were delivering qualified leads, and the automation adjusted faster than we ever could manually."

— Head of Growth, B2B SaaS Client

Methodology Notes

Lead quality was defined by client-provided criteria: company revenue > $10M, 50+ employees, director-level or above. CPA calculations include only qualified leads. Results measured over 120 days post-optimization with same monthly budget.

Multi-Channel Marketing Agency 60-Day Study

Scaling Agency Operations Without Hiring

A mid-sized agency managing 23 client accounts needed to improve operational efficiency and reporting consistency without adding headcount.

The Challenge

The agency team was spending 30+ hours per week on manual reporting, budget checks, and reactive optimizations across client accounts. Inconsistent UTM tagging and attribution models made cross-channel analysis difficult, and clients frequently asked for custom reports that took hours to compile.

Our Approach

We implemented both our Paid Ad Automation Software and Digital Marketing Suite with agency-specific features:

  • Multi-account dashboards with role-based permissions
  • White-label reporting with client branding
  • Standardized UTM governance across all campaigns
  • Automated weekly client summary reports
  • Budget pacing alerts for all accounts
  • Centralized creative library and approval workflows

We configured automation rules that applied consistently across all client accounts while allowing for client-specific customization where needed. The team gained a single source of truth for all client data.

Our Methodology

How We Measure and Report Results

We believe in transparent, repeatable measurement practices. Every case study follows the same rigorous methodology to ensure results are valid, contextual, and reproducible.

📊

Baseline Establishment

We establish 30-90 day pre-automation baselines using platform reporting and third-party analytics. All baseline metrics are documented and agreed upon before interventions begin.

🔬

Controlled Variables

We document external factors (seasonality, market conditions, budget changes) and control for them in our analysis. Results reflect comparable time periods and account structures.

✅

Third-Party Validation

Metrics are verified through multiple data sources: platform reporting, Google Analytics, CRM data, and client-owned analytics tools. We provide audit trails and data exports.

📈

Statistical Significance

We apply appropriate statistical tests to ensure changes are meaningful, not random variance. Sample sizes and confidence intervals are documented where applicable.

🎯

Contextual Disclosure

We disclose constraints, starting conditions, and factors that might affect generalizability. No cherry-picking; we present representative client outcomes.

🔄

Ongoing Monitoring

Results are tracked over extended periods to ensure sustainability. We report both short-term wins and long-term performance trends with clear time stamps.

Common Questions

Evidence and Data Integrity

We know you've heard big promises before. Here's what you need to know about how we present results.

Results vary by baseline and constraints. We disclose starting conditions, market factors, and campaign specifics so you can judge relevance. These are representative cases, not cherry-picked outliers. Some clients see better results; others see incremental gains that compound over time. We recommend a discovery call to estimate what's realistic for your situation.

Yes. We can provide references under NDA or upon serious intent. Many of our clients prefer confidentiality, but we have several who are happy to speak with qualified prospects about their experience with Search Envy.

Yes, subject to compliance needs and approved data handling practices. We've worked with financial services, healthcare, and legal clients who require specific security and compliance standards. We can sign BAAs, DPAs, and custom security agreements as needed.

We present constraints and counterfactuals where possible and avoid over-attributing credit. Case studies include context about external factors, what we controlled for, and limitations of the data. We also disclose when results might not generalize to other situations. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision, not to dazzle you with unsustainable numbers.

For qualified prospects under NDA, we can provide anonymized data exports, platform screenshots, and methodology documentation. We believe in radical transparency when it comes to proving our approach works.

We establish clear success metrics and measurement plans before starting work. If results don't meet agreed-upon goals, we document why, adjust the approach, and continue optimizing until we hit targets or mutually agree on a new direction. We don't lock you into long-term contracts, and you can cancel with a clean offboarding process if needed.
