As we see in many of the accounts we manage, Shopping often performs better than Search, and it is no different for Rhino Rails. We therefore cut back on the Search campaigns which weren't cost effective, whilst pushing the Shopping Campaign. As a result, revenue in the first six months of this year has tripled compared to the last 6 months of last year, having spend just 17% more on advertising. The extra revenue is mostly generated through Shopping, but also in the Search campaigns revenue was up by almost 25%, achieved at a 12% lower cost.
Further improving Search
Although we managed to improve the efficiency of the Search campaign, more work was required to improve it further. Exploring new keywords to get traffic up, pausing ones that do not work. Analysing data by demographic and adding in-market audiences to determine which areas perform well and hence can be pushed. In the last 3 months the spend in Search has come down by another 24%, whilst revenue increased by 42%.
