Being a newly established business within a competitive industry, PetFlow needed a way to lower their CPA without increasing their overall advertising spend. With two types of orders, single purchases and recurring service purchases, PetFlow also needed a custom way to track and differentiate revenue by order type.

A comprehensive build out of their account into two campaigns, brand and category, was needed in order to customize their ads and keywords accordingly. By working with the client, we would create brand specific ads that would lead Continue reading…
