Recent Google wins

Accounts we restructured, with the numbers behind them.

How brands across B2B SaaS, healthcare, logistics, and D2C stopped paying for traffic that would have converted anyway.

A premium orthopedic clinic relied on referrals. We built their paid strategy from scratch — profitable from month one.

Proof

What restructured Google Ads accounts actually look like.

Google Ads

Leading B2B Technical & Industrial Equipment Distributor

Performance MarketingData & Analytics
-50%
Cost per qualified lead
3X
Lead volume on the same budget

When your buyers are procurement teams and contractors, clicks don't pay the bills — qualified inquiries do. This distributor competes in a crowded, price-sensitive B2B category where most paid search budgets quietly bleed out on tire-kickers. We built a Google Ads lead acquisition system around high-intent commercial search — campaign-level segmentation that separates serious buyers from browsers before they ever hit the form. The result: a steady pipeline of qualified leads at roughly half the account's blended cost per qualified lead.

Google Ads

Premium Multi-Branch Orthopedic Clinic

Performance MarketingPerformance Creative
>40X
ROAS, sustained across 10 months
-60%
Cost per qualified lead vs. when we started

A premium multi-branch orthopedic clinic, competing in a high-trust category where patients have always arrived through doctor referrals — and paid digital had gone untapped. We built a Google Ads system around condition-specific search intent, splitting pinched nerve, bone joint and muscle pain, and height correction into dedicated campaigns that met each patient at peak decision-readiness. The result: a steady flow of patient inquiries at a 40X+ tracked ROAS, with cost per qualified lead down over 60% from where they started — proof that even the most referral-dependent medical categories open up with the right search architecture.

Google Ads

Premium Automotive Coating Studio

Performance Marketing
>200%
monthly lead volume increase
-30%
Cost per qualified lead

Nobody impulse-buys a premium automotive coating. It's a high-ticket, considered purchase — which means every wasted click is expensive and every qualified inquiry is gold. This premium coating studio was paying for attention it didn't need: budget leaking to bargain-hunters and the wrong audiences entirely. We rebuilt the acquisition system around buyers actually in-market for premium protection — tight targeting, high-intent demand, zero spray-and-pray. Within two months, cost per qualified lead dropped over 30%, and the booking calendar stopped depending on luck.

Google Ads

Multi-Brand Online Retailer in the Home & Hardware Category

Performance MarketingData & Analytics
>19X
ROAS
>5X
increase in monthly conversions since launch

Selling thousands of SKUs across multiple brands online means one thing: you can't afford to advertise everything to everyone. This fast-growing retailer was competing in a fragmented market where shelf space is infinite but attention isn't. We engineered a Google Ads acquisition system around what shoppers were actually searching for — brand-level segmentation matched to purchase behavior, tuned for conversion, not traffic. Every dollar spent returned over 19X in tracked revenue, turning paid search from a line-item expense into the store's most reliable revenue engine.

Leading Luxury Tour Operator

in conversion value

A leading luxury tour operator is competing against OTAs, marketplaces, and local tour resellers. We built a Google Ads system that captures the buyer at the one moment that matters — bottom-funnel search, when they're done comparing and ready to book — and matched it to a booking journey built to close. The result: a sustained >19X return on ad spend, over $1 million generated, and higher margins from reducing reliance on external channels.

Why us

Why Google accounts compound under our pod.

SENIOR COPYWRITERS

Every headline earns its place — no junior padding the ad.

Senior copywriters write every headline and description — words that win the click, lift Quality Score, and pre-qualify it so you pay for buyers, not tire-kickers. The auction is identical; the copy is where you win it.

SENIOR GOOGLE OPERATORS

Buyers who rebuild before they bid up.

Every account gets a senior Google buyer who’s rebuilt accounts of every shape — from B2B SaaS Search to D2C Shopping. The audit comes before the budget increase.

AI SIGNAL LAYER

SQR drift caught before broad-match bleeds.

AI scans search-query reports hourly. Junk queries surface before they earn the click. Negative-keyword discipline becomes a system, not a Monday chore.

NET-NEW ATTRIBUTION

Branded ROAS stops carrying the rest.

Branded isolated into its own capped-budget campaign. PMax fenced with brand + shopping exclusions. Every campaign reports on its own honest CAC — the auction stops paying for buyers you already own.

CONVERSION DISCIPLINE

Smart Bidding only gets signal it can trust.

Enhanced Conversions wired. Offline conversion import live for B2B. Server-side options reviewed every account. tCPA → tROAS migrated only when the signal supports it.

TRACED REVENUE

Google ROAS you can trust to the dollar.

GA4 ↔ Google Ads reconciliation. Conversion definitions matched. Dedup rules confirmed. Attribution windows aligned. No more "but GA4 says different."

Use cases

Google Ads engagements built for the work that actually moves CAC.

Every Google account walks in with a different problem. Eight scenarios our Google pod is built for — from branded isolation to multi-market PMax migrations.

BRANDED ISOLATION

From inflated ROAS to honest CAC.

Branded search moves into its own capped-budget campaign. The rest of the account starts reporting against its real net-new economics for the first time.

PMAX FENCING

From PMax cannibalization to net-new only.

Brand and shopping exclusions wired. Audience signals refreshed. Asset groups rebuilt against real buyer intent. Performance Max stops paying Google to find buyers you already had.

MATCH-TYPE DISCIPLINE

From broad-match bleed to earned reach.

Exact + phrase only at first. Broad earned in once the signal is clean. Weekly negative-keyword discipline. Smart Bidding gets a vocabulary it can actually trust.

SHOPPING REBUILD

From dirty feed to clean Shopping economics.

Feed hygiene, product-level bidding, smart vs standard Shopping migration. PMax inherits a feed that doesn’t feed it noise.

B2B LEAD QUALITY

From cheap leads to closed-won pipeline.

Offline conversion import wired to CRM. Smart Bidding retrained on closed-won, not form-fills. Lead volume holds; lead quality climbs.

PRODUCT LAUNCH

From product launch to first-month traction.

Pre-launch Search infrastructure, launch-day Shopping burst, post-launch retargeting via Display. Google is the channel that decides how the first month reads.

MULTI-MARKET

From local market to multi-country Google engine.

Country-specific Search architecture, currency-aware tracking, localized RSAs, multi-pixel where it matters. Same pod, every market.

CONVERSION RECOVERY

From iOS-leaked signal to server-side clean.

Enhanced Conversions deployed. GTM-server container reviewed. Offline conversion import for B2B. Most accounts recover 15–25% of conversions that were being thrown away.

In their own words

What Google clients say after the restructure.

Operators we’ve rebuilt Google accounts for — many still under NDA, so company names are redacted to category. The shared moment: the dashboard finally agrees with the bank account.

They built our entire marketing funnel end-to-end and owned every deliverable. Not an ad-hoc agency you pay to run a few campaigns and hope it works.

We've always focused on B2B, and going direct to consumers felt like starting a new company. GTMLab built the system that made it work, and now D2C is a real source of revenue.

We realised we relied too much on OTAs, and we had to do something about it. GTMLab delivered, helping us increase our direct bookings in ways we'd never have imagined.

Marketing in healthcare is its own challenge, so much you're not allowed to say or do, and we’ve never really cracked it. GTMLab built the system around it, and bookings were up 50% in a month.

We weren't even sure it was possible, and we wanted GTMLab to validate whether there is a way to acquire partners predictably. GTMLab didn’t just answer 'yes'—they proved it.

Process

From Google audit to compounding.

4 weeks to audit, restructure, launch, and tune the first cycle. Then a system that gets sharper every week.

Week 1

Audit on Net-New Only

What happens

90 days of account data pulled. Branded, retargeting, direct stripped from the reporting. What’s left is the real story — net-new CAC, true ROAS, and the campaigns actually earning.

What you get

A restructure plan you can read in one sitting plus 18–35% of audited spend named as leakage.

Week 2

Isolate Branded · Fence PMax

What happens

Branded moves into its own capped-budget campaign. PMax gets brand + shopping exclusions. Both campaigns now report against their honest economics for the first time.

What you get

A cleaner account where every campaign owns its own CAC and you can see what is actually working.

Week 3

Search + PMax Rebuild

What happens

Search rebuilt around match-type discipline (exact + phrase first). RSAs refreshed with 4 headlines/ad group. PMax asset groups rebuilt. Smart Bidding migrated to tROAS where signal supports it.

What you get

A working account architecture plus full transparency from click to revenue.

Week 4

Scale & Compound

What happens

First full optimization cycle. Winners scaled in 15–20% steps. Wasted spend killed. Weekly negative-keyword pruning live. AI Signal Ops fully running.

What you get

First measurable lift on net-new CAC and the operating cadence that compounds every month after.

FAQ

Questions we hear on the first Google Ads call.

Sometimes. It depends on whether the PMax is earning net-new or routing spend back to converters you already own. The audit answers that in week one. If it’s cannibalizing, we rebuild it with brand and shopping exclusions. If it’s earning, we keep it running and refine the asset groups.

We don’t delete. We rebuild parallel — new campaign structure runs alongside the old one for the first two weeks, spend migrates as the new architecture earns its read. Historical conversion data, audiences, and the algorithmic learning the account has accumulated stay intact.

Yes. Our Signal agent watches the account hourly and surfaces anomalies — impression-share drops, conversion drift, junk queries earning the click. But it doesn’t move budget or pause campaigns on its own. AI surfaces the moves. Operators decide. We ship same-day instead of next sprint.

Around $10K/month is where the structural rebuild starts to pay for itself. Below that, you’re better off with our Founder Programs or a tighter Performance Creative engagement. Above $50K/month is where compounding really kicks in — more spend, more signal, faster learning curve.

Week 4 is the first meaningful read — the rebuild is live and the new architecture has earned a clean week of data. Week 8 is where compounding starts (each winning ad feeds the next round). Week 12 is where unit economics shift — net-new CAC and blended ROAS both move, and the change holds.

We take ownership. Day-to-day buying, weekly strategy, creative testing — all run by our Google pod. Your team stays in the loop via Slack and weekly reviews, and we hand back full MCC access whenever the engagement ends.

That’s the first thing we audit. Most accounts run client-side tracking that misses 15–25% of conversions to iOS, ad-block, and cookie decay. We wire Enhanced Conversions, offline conversion import for B2B, and server-side options where they apply — before Smart Bidding gets retrained on the cleaner signal.
