Bolster: from rising bids to a growth engine

An eCommerce brand whose search costs kept climbing while conversion stood still. We rebuilt the account around intent and margin — and turned shopping into their most profitable channel.

The challenge

Spend up, sales flat

Bolster's account had grown by accretion: five years of campaigns, overlapping keywords, and one catch-all shopping campaign. Bestsellers competed with clearance stock for the same bids, and nobody could say which queries actually made money.

The approach

Structure follows margin

We segmented the catalog by margin tier, rebuilt search around tightly themed intents, and split shopping into hero, core and long-tail campaigns with distinct targets. Fresh creative rolled weekly; losers were cut on a fixed cadence.
