How we run Google Ads for DTC brands
New customers versus returning buyers
DTC growth depends on acquiring new customers profitably. We use new-customer acquisition goals and separate returning-buyer remarketing so the account doesn’t just recycle people who would buy anyway.
Creative that feeds Performance Max and Meta
Lifestyle images, product shots and short clips give Performance Max and Meta campaigns the variety they need. We advise on asset sets and test messaging angles across both channels.
Blended measurement
Google and Meta both claim credit for the same sales. We look at blended revenue against total ad spend alongside platform data, so budget decisions reflect what actually grows the business.

Frequently asked questions
Do you run Meta ads for DTC brands?
Yes. Paid social is managed alongside Google so budgets work together.
Can you help launch new products?
Yes. We build launch campaigns across search, Shopping and social.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Paid ads (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, paid social and ChatGPT Ads) are month to month with no long-term contracts. SEO has a 3-month minimum because organic results take time to build.
What results can we expect?
Our paid ad campaigns average a 12–16% conversion rate across accounts. That is an average, not a guarantee; your results depend on your market, offer, budget and website. We set up conversion tracking first so you can see exactly what the campaigns produce.
