Additional Online Purchases

The account recorded 905 purchases during April–September 2026, compared with 629 during the same period in 2025.

The goal was to grow order volume while keeping acquisition costs under control.

THE OPPORTUNITY

More Shoppers. More Orders. Better E-Commerce Growth.

Healthcare professionals need dependable scrubs, lab coats, and medical apparel. For an online retailer serving customers across the United States, Google Ads provides an opportunity to reach shoppers already searching for these products.

But increasing visibility alone doesn't guarantee profitable growth. More clicks can also mean higher costs.

The objective was to grow purchases and Google Ads-attributed revenue without allowing the cost of acquiring each order to rise sharply.

The account combined Shopping, Performance Max, and Search campaigns, with a focus on product discovery, brand visibility, and revenue-based bidding.

THE REVENUE STORY

From $64,540 to $90,001 in Tracked Revenue.

Google Ads-attributed purchase revenue increased by $25,461 compared with the previous year.

WHAT THE RESULTS TELL US

Three Lessons for Growing an Online Store.

01

Growth Requires More Than Traffic

Clicks increased by 23%, while purchases increased by 44%. The reported purchase rate rose from 2.8% to 3.2%.

02

Cost Per Order Matters

Cost per purchase increased only 4%, from $37.64 to $39.02, while purchase volume grew substantially.

03

Scaling Requires Monitoring

Spend increased 49% and full-period ROAS declined from 2.73x to 2.55x. Growth should be evaluated alongside efficiency.

A closer look at efficiency:

Before the August budget increase, April–July 2026 delivered approximately 3.5x ROAS compared with 2.8x in the same months of 2025. Cost per purchase was approximately $30 versus $38. The later budget expansion reduced full-period efficiency, highlighting the importance of ongoing optimization.
