As part of an ongoing collaboration with the client Svijet Igračaka, Prolink took on the task of planning, creating, and comprehensively managing a Google Ads campaign—the project was launched with the goal of increasing sales through online channels, with precisely defined objectives and a six-month timeframe, with an approach based on data, continuous optimization, and strategic budget management to achieve maximum return on investment. The toy assortment covers a wide range of categories and brands, which required a detailed understanding of the market and customer behavior to direct advertising efforts toward the most profitable segments, while simultaneously avoiding budget waste on unproductive clicks and untargeted audiences.
Product range analysis and keyword definition
The initial phase included a detailed analysis of the product range available on the client's web store, to determine which search terms best match the actual interest of the target audience—through keyword research using tools such as Google Keyword Planner, relevant phrases with high search volume and direct conversion potential were identified, as well as more specific ones indicating purchase intent. In addition to the most searched terms like "buy toys online," long-tail keywords were included that precisely match specific user interests in later stages of the purchasing process, such as "wooden puzzles for 3-year-olds" or "Lego technic sets for boys," ensuring that ads are shown to those already close to making a purchase decision.
Campaign structure and advertising strategies
The campaign is structured by product groups to ensure ads are maximally aligned with user queries—each ad group contains a separately defined set of keywords and customized ads that differ in tone, visuals, and calls to action, depending on whether they concern promotional offers, new collections, or branded products. Text and responsive ads are used, including extensions that increase visibility—such as price displays, links to subpages with product categories, and descriptions highlighting key advantages like free delivery or fast shipping. In the initial phase, a conversion-based bidding strategy was set, with targeted CPA (cost per acquisition) and daily budgets that allow cost control while achieving the desired sales volume.
Continuous optimization and ad management
Campaign management does not only involve initial setup but also daily performance monitoring and continuous improvement—based on analytics, we track CTR, conversion rate, cost per click, and other metrics that enable precise direction of further activities. We frequently conduct A/B testing of ads to detect which headline, description, and display variants achieve better results, and accordingly adjust existing campaigns or introduce new ones. Special attention is paid to dynamic market changes, seasonality in toy offerings (for example, increased advertising in the pre-holiday period), and adjustments of ad messages in line with the client's current promotions and campaigns, ensuring that ads always communicate the most relevant information.
The role of negative keywords in campaign effectiveness
One of the key aspects of campaign management is systematic handling of negative keywords—they enable the exclusion of irrelevant terms that attract unwanted traffic and thus unnecessarily waste the budget without real return on investment. Based on search term reports, we continuously update the list of negative terms, excluding for example those related to used toys, repairs, or content not relevant to the store's offering. Through this practice, ad impressions are focused only on the most relevant audience—those looking for new, quality products with purchase intent, which directly impacts the increase in ROAS (return on ad spend) and reduction in cost per conversion.
Expected results and future phases
Given the structured approach and dynamic campaign management, an increase in online sales of at least 50% is expected over the six-month period—the realization of this goal is based on measurable indicators, clear optimization of each advertising segment, and alignment of all campaign elements with the client's business objectives. Results so far indicate positive trends in terms of number of visits, session duration on the web store, conversion rate, and overall return on advertising investment, and the continuation of collaboration will include expanding the campaign to additional channels such as Google Shopping and remarketing for users who visited the site but did not complete a purchase.
