The partner

Gearloft is a U.S. car-accessories store. It's a value category — durable margins on repeatable orders — where the win isn't a growth spike but a return on ad spend that holds season after season while the cost of each order keeps drifting down.

Goals

  • Hold return on ad spend season over season.
  • Drive the cost per order down.
  • Grow orders without eroding the return.
  • Bid to revenue, not raw clicks.
  • Hold it on a flat fee as the store scales.

Strategy

We run the account for durable profit: value-based Shopping and Performance Max bidding to revenue, with weekly optimization keeping return on ad spend steady above 6× while the cost per order trended down and orders grew.

    Built to surface the right products to real buying intent across the catalog.

  3. 03

    Held ROAS steady

    Bid and budget management kept return above 6× across seasons.

    Optimized weekly

    The same disciplined loop, quarter after quarter.

Results

Rather than a spike, the account is a durability story: return on ad spend held above six times for two years — peaking above eight — while the cost per order fell around a quarter and orders grew.
