Google Ads campaign analysis in Excel

Search Campaign: Beauty Products (Jan–June 2024)

1. Overview

  • This campaign analyzed the performance of Google Ads for 100 beauty products, with prices ranging from $9 to $70.
  • The objective was to assess ad effectiveness and optimize the return on ad spend (ROAS).

2. Data Overview

  • I exported the campaign data to Excel, covering key metrics such as:
    • Clicks
    • Impressions
    • Cost-per-Click (CPC)
    • Conversions

3. Advanced Analysis & Calculations

  • Using Excel, I calculated critical metrics to evaluate campaign performance:
    • Click-Through Rate (CTR)
    • Total Cost
    • Revenue (via VLOOKUP to match product sales with prices)
    • Conversion Rate
    • Cost per Acquisition (CPA)
    • Revenue per Click
    • Return on Investment (ROI)
    • Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)

4. Data Visualization

  • A Pivot Table was used to organize product performance.
  • Graphs were created to showcase the top 10 products with the highest and lowest ROAS.
  • These visual tools helped in identifying the most and least profitable products.

5. ROAS-Based Product Strategy

  • After analyzing the data, I categorized the products into three groups:
    • Products to Keep: ROAS > 2x
    • Products to Analyze Further: ROAS between 1.5x and 2x
    • Products to Drop: ROAS < 1.5x
  • This categorization provided a clear path for optimizing ad spend, ensuring that resources were focused on high-performing products while reviewing or eliminating underperforming ones.
