The results

Introduction

Handle Hardware is a specialist eCommerce provider of architectural ironmongery products, catering to a niche but highly competitive market. Seeking to expand their online reach and maximize profitability, Handle Hardware turned to Google Ads. This case study explores how a strategic overhaul of their Google Ads account enabled them to significantly boost their key performance indicators, achieve record growth, and strengthen their brand presence.

Challenges faced by client

Consistent Losses

Pandemic Impact

Consistent Losses: The account had been averaging a 76% ROAS over nine months, leading to unprofitable ad spend.

Pandemic Impact: Lockdowns during the pandemic further strained their Google Ads strategy, reducing ROI and complicating customer acquisition efforts.

Unrealised Potential: The account had never achieved a 400% ROAS, a benchmark set by Handle Hardware as their target for profitability.

What the client says:

I have been working with the team at Hatch for many years now and after just the first couple of months I saw fantastic results. The team is honest, knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile, even helping with website issues outside of PPC. I would highly recommend Hatch to any business looking to improve their digital marketing.

Handle Hardware is now well-positioned for sustained growth in the competitive ironmongery market, with a high-performing Google Ads account as a cornerstone of their digital marketing success.
