Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

To start, we just needed to find a better structure for our ad account. The previous agency did not split out audiences or search terms from each other, so it was difficult to understand what was driving real value. Banfana came in and immediately cleaned up the account, helping us lower our overall spend while driving significantly more traffic and new customers. From there, we have been able to scale efficiently through PMax and Shopping.

Banfana has also been instrumental in setting us up on YouTube, ensuring that we have a true Top of Funnel strategy for the whole business.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

They worked quickly and effectively to reorganize the account from Day 1.

The first objective was to improve efficiency. That meant identifying and cutting wasted spend, which helped us cut our overall budget while driving more new customer orders, for a cheaper cost.

YouTube was previously unused, and now with the help of Banfana, it has become our #3 spend channel, primarily used for extending the brand's reach.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The team consistently meets deadlines and follows through on any next steps. They are easy to access via Slack and the team is always proactive to flag any potential issues or concerns in the account.

We needed to fix an underperforming ad structure in our Google Ads account and get it working for our business again, which included:

• improving ROAS
• increasing daily spend
• exploring new ad options within Google's platform, like YouTube and Display

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Banfana CRUSHED it...

Prior to working with them, our previous SEM resource had mishandled our account, leading to not only a 25-30% drop in ROAS, but we were also not able to maintain the same levels of spend that we'd previously spent on a daily basis. Banfana restored our previous ROAS levels...and increased them another 10-20%. They did this while also increasing our daily spend – we doubled our budgets in just a few months.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The Banfana team is extremely hands-on and responsive, and they delivered all results ahead of schedule and above expectations.

No. They're the best SEM team I've ever worked with.
