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.
