Background

When David, the founder of Happy Earth Apparel, partnered with Vulcan Digital in October 2022, he was looking for a solution that would free up his time while driving meaningful growth. As a mission-driven apparel brand, Happy Earth had built a loyal customer base, but their Google Ads performance wasn’t keeping up with their ambitions.

David had spent countless hours managing campaigns himself, only to find that their reliance on branded search and seasonal demand limited their ability to scale profitably. Non-branded search and Shopping campaigns weren’t delivering, and a lack of structured data insights made it difficult to measure true customer acquisition efficiency.

With Q4 being their primary revenue driver, Happy Earth faced inventory constraints and revenue fluctuations throughout the year. David needed a partner who could optimize Google Ads, improve non-branded performance, and provide a clearer path to sustainable growth.

The Challenge

  • Improve non-branded performance to drive profitable customer acquisition at scale.
  • Segment branded vs. non-branded traffic to get clearer attribution and budget insights.
  • Convert Google Ads into a reliable, scalable and profitable acquisition channel.
  • Free up the founder’s time by streamlining campaign execution and optimization.

The Solution

  • Branded and non-branded campaign segmentation for more accurate performance tracking.
  • JavaScript-based tracking enhancements for network performance within PMax campaigns
  • Extra-platform KPI tracking for more robust decision-making practices.
  • Feed Optimization leading to dramatic increases in shopping ads performance.
  • Dynamic bid adjustments based on seasonality and historical trends, optimizing for efficiency year-round.
  • Repurposing top-performing Meta creatives, reducing early inefficiencies in creative testing

The Results

After 6 months, this restructuring had led to:

  • Increased PPC Spend of 1200%
  • Increased PPC Revenue of 3000%
  • Overall store growth of 169%

The Future

Now, 2.5 years later, overall store growth continues to flourish, with strong Google and Meta Ads channels working synchronously and greater oversight on underlying store data.

The results have compounded over time, allowing Happy Earth Apparel to:

  • Maintain profitable year-over-year growth through a data-driven, structured approach.
  • Scale with more predictable revenue, reducing reliance on seasonal spikes.
  • Continue reinvesting into the business, expanding product lines and reaching new audiences.

With this momentum, the plan is to continue scaling Happy Earth Apparel, leveraging a refined Google Ads strategy to drive even stronger customer acquisition in the years ahead.
