    The Problem

    One ROAS target doesn't fit every product or every moment

    Most agencies apply a single performance target across your entire account. But your business doesn't work that way. New launches need investment. High-margin heroes should maximise profit. Slow-moving stock needs to clear. A blunt single target ignores all of this.

    Primary Issue

    Static Strategy in a Dynamic Business

    Your commercial priorities change. Quarterly targets shift. Seasons turn. Stock levels fluctuate. But most agency strategies stay frozen in place.

    SKUs Treated as Equals

    Not every product should be optimised the same way. A 60% margin hero and a 15% margin clearance item have completely different jobs-but most accounts treat them identically.

    Platform Metrics Over Business Outcomes

    Agencies optimise for what Google shows them-ROAS, clicks, impressions. But you care about what hits the P&L and what's left in the bank after VAT, returns, and COGS. See the JudeLuxe ecommerce data for benchmark POAS by sector.

    The Approach

    One catalogue. Five commercial jobs. Bids that reflect what each SKU is actually doing.

    Most agencies apply a single ROAS target across your entire account. But your business doesn't work that way. New launches need investment. High-margin heroes should maximise profit. Slow-moving stock needs to clear. A blunt single target ignores all of this. The BOI® framework fixes it at the bidding layer: every SKU is assigned one of five commercial jobs based on margin, stock position, cash impact, and customer-acquisition role.

    Scale

    The SKU has healthy margin, full stock, and auction headroom. The bidder pushes aggressively - broad audience signals, scaling budget, maximum impression share. Used when commercial intent is growth and unit economics support it.

    Profit

    Default state for healthy SKUs. The bidder optimises for contribution margin per pound spent, not volume. Tighter audience signals, controlled CPC ceiling, margin floor enforced via value rules. Most of the catalogue sits here.

    Protect

    SKU operating in a contested auction. Hold position without chasing growth. Hard CPC ceiling, intent-restricted audience signals, defensive bidding to keep impression share at a defined floor.

    Recovery

    Something has changed - stock running low, margin compressed by supplier costs, returns climbing past tolerance. The bidder pulls back, tightens intent, protects cash while the underlying issue is resolved. SKU's job reassigned once recovery condition clears.

    Gateway

    Customer-acquisition SKU. The bidder accepts lower per-unit margin in exchange for new-customer acquisition that the wider LTV economics justify. Bidding calibrated to blended CAC, not the SKU's own margin alone.

    Most accounts run the majority of SKUs in Profit and Protect, with a smaller share in Scale and Recovery, and a handful designated as Gateway. The exact mix is a function of your catalogue, your cash position, and your customer economics - not a fixed template. Jobs are reviewed weekly and reassigned as stock, margin, and demand shift. For accounts where catalogue complexity sits above 5,000 SKUs, the same framework runs on automated nightly job assignment rather than weekly hand-review. For B2B ecommerce accounts, the framework adapts to tiered customer-group pricing, extended attribution windows, and lead-gen overlay. Inherited accounts with structural damage move through our account turnaround playbook before transitioning to retained cadence.

    The Methodology

    Map. Assign. Build. Govern.

    The framework operates as a four-stage discipline. Each stage feeds the next; the cycle repeats weekly.

    1

    Map

    We map every SKU against your commercial reality - contribution margin, stock velocity, cash cycle, customer-acquisition role. Product-level precision, not category-level guessing.

    2

    Assign

    Each SKU receives one of the five BOI jobs: Scale, Profit, Protect, Recovery, or Gateway. One job at a time, never two. The job reflects what the business needs from that product right now.

    3

    Build

    Campaign structure follows commercial intent, not Google's defaults. Asset groups, bidding, value rules, custom labels, and budget allocation all reflect what each SKU is supposed to achieve.

    4

    Govern

    Continuous rebalancing based on real-time signals: stock levels, margin changes, cash impact, demand shifts. Jobs reassigned weekly. The account evolves as your business evolves.

    Who This Is For

    Built for £1m+ DTC brands

    JudeLuxe runs Google Ads accounts for UK ecommerce brands from £3M growth-stage DTCs to £100M+ established retailers, with typical Google Ads spend ranging from £15k to £500k+/month.

    Spending £15k+/month on Google Ads

    Below this threshold, SKU-level management doesn't make commercial sense.

    Ready to move beyond ROAS theatre

    You care about what hits the P&L, not what the platform reports as "return".

    Frustrated with agency distance

    Monthly reports that arrive too late. Account managers who don't understand your business. Junior staff doing the actual work.

    Not for everyone:

    If you're a startup still finding product-market fit, a lead-gen business, or looking for the cheapest possible management-we're not the right fit. This is for established ecommerce brands ready to treat Google Ads as a commercial lever, not a marketing expense.

    FAQs

    Common questions

    Most agencies optimise for a single ROAS target across the account. We recognise that different products have different jobs at different times. A new launch needs volume, a high-margin bestseller needs to maximise profit, aged stock needs to clear for cash. We manage each accordingly, not with a blunt single target.

    Three inputs drive the decision: contribution margin (after cost of goods, fulfilment, and returns), stock position (units available vs lead time), and customer-acquisition role (does this SKU pull in new buyers, or convert existing demand?). Healthy margin + full stock + auction headroom = Scale. Healthy margin + stable demand = Profit. Margin under pressure or stock low = Recovery. Strategic new-customer acquisition = Gateway. The mix across your catalogue typically shifts as quarterly priorities change - more SKUs assigned to Scale or Gateway when growth is the goal, more to Profit or Protect when margin protection is the priority.

    JudeLuxe runs Google Ads accounts for UK ecommerce brands from £3M growth-stage DTCs to £100M+ established retailers, with typical Google Ads spend from £15k to £500k+/month. Our fee structure starts at £2k/month and scales based on account complexity.

    Yes. Many clients have internal marketers handling other channels or specific campaign types. We integrate with your team, share our methodology, and ensure everyone understands the commercial strategy. We're not precious about ownership.

    Days 1-7: Full audit and commercial mapping. Days 8-14: Strategy presentation and alignment. Days 15-21: Account restructure implementation. Days 22-30: Optimisation begins with new structure in place. You'll have full visibility throughout.

    Initial engagement is 3 months-long enough to implement structural changes and see results. After that, we move to month-to-month with 30-day notice. We don't believe in locking people into long contracts.

    Percentage-of-spend creates a perverse incentive: the more you spend, the more we earn-whether or not it's profitable for you. Fixed fee aligns us around outcomes. If we increase your spend, it's because the economics justify it, not because it benefits our revenue.

    Our Proprietary Method

    BOI®

    Bid On Intent.

    Every SKU has one commercial job at a time - Scale, Profit, Protect, Recovery or Gateway - and never more than one. That job is dynamic. It changes as inventory, cash position and demand change. BOI® is the discipline of bidding against the job each SKU is actually doing this week.

    No blended targets. No SKU pulling in two directions. Just a commercially responsible bid against a single, named job.
