At Symtry Partners, we take your growth seriously. We do the work others won't, so you can grow like no one else will.

Introducing the Client

We approached California-based OnPoint Wares with a proposition to grow their business a lot in just a short amount of time.  They had, and still have, a large catalog with a focus on flags and banners for businesses.

Background

OnPoint didn’t have a process for growth on Amazon except to continue adding new products.  They were looking for a way to grow without having to spend an arm and a leg to make it happen…

BetterLed was tasked with a “test-run” focused on showing the benefits of SEO and efficient PPC in order to increase organic rank and, ultimately, increase sales.  

The results are alarming.

Challenges

No growth
-$ 0 K/mo

OnPoint wasn’t seeing the growth they knew was possible and it was inconsistent.

Limited Ad Budget
0 %TACoS

With a focus on margin, budgets remained the same.  The data would determine Ad spend.

No New Design/A+ Content
0 months

BetterLed was to focus on two core tenets: SEO and PPC.  This was a test run. 

The Solution

Phase 1 - Evaluation and Goals

We took a deep dive on current ad efficiency, brand look and identity, and dove into the core KPI’s that would determine success.  In this case, the focus was on Ad Spend, Revenue, and TACoS (Total Advertising Cost of Sales). 

Phase 2 - Keyword Research

With these goals in mind, we took to Helium10, looking for keywords and phrases to target, used past ad data to see CVR and CTR on campaigns, and got to work on the back-end copy and attributes to start building organic rank.

Phase 3 - SEO Implementation

Using the research, we implemented new copy on the front-end and created new full-funnel PPC campaigns with multiple ad types.

Phase 4 - PPC Domination

With SEO implemented, PPC bids were raised and – following CVR and CTR – our targeted campaigns delivered excellent results in a niche category and brand. 

By The Numbers

Monthly Sales Explode

Starting in November of 2022, it’s easy to see the difference a clear Amazon strategy can make to a business.  By focusing on the backend and front-end SEO, OnPoint was able to see almost a triple-digit increase in their YoY sales.  

And they’re still growing! 

Spend It to Make It!

For every dollar we spend, there needs to be a return – and given the goals of OnPoint, this metric was a key performance indicator for success in the relationship.  Even as ad spend increased, ROAS also increased.  

With a start date in November 2022, it’s apparent that efficient PPC drove some great results.  Much of this can be due to campaign structure, targeting, and strategy. 

Ad Spend + CVR

A great way to track efficiency is to follow conversion rate (CVR) along with Ad Spend.  OnPoint was spending roughly $600-$800 a month on Ads before we implemented SEO changes.  We drove to double that in order to focus on specific keywords gathered in our research.  Even with the increase in spend, CVR increased. 

Here’s the data dating back to September of 2022; BetterLed started in November 2022
