Challenge

The main challenge was the inconsistency between results reported in the Google Ads panel and actual business profitability. Despite generating sales and seemingly acceptable performance metrics, the account did not support real financial outcomes.

Solution

The account was reorganized by structuring campaigns and separating brand from non-brand traffic. A diversified campaign mix and continuous testing were implemented, while optimization shifted from ROAS to real margin. As a result, the activities began to directly support financial performance and enabled scalable growth.

Bimeb × Delante

A Google Ads case study for a B2B e-commerce business, where the goal was not a higher ROAS in the ad panel, but greater control over which campaigns actually drive financial performance.

About the Client

Bimeb is a wholesaler of furniture accessories supplying the carpentry and furniture industries. Its offering includes drawer systems, hinges, runners, and space organization solutions.

In B2B e-commerce, not every transaction has the same value. Product groups differ in margins, cart value, and sales potential. That’s why focusing solely on ROAS does not provide a complete picture of campaign profitability.

Challenge and Objective

The Google Ads account was generating transactions, and the reported ROAS initially appeared strong. However, the data in the ad panel did not fully reflect actual business performance.

With combined brand and non-brand traffic, it was difficult to clearly assess which campaigns were generating new demand and which were simply closing users already familiar with the brand.

The goal was to reorganize the account, improve data transparency, and build a model where the Google Ads budget supports sales with real business value.

Results

During the analyzed period, conversion value increased by 618%. Campaigns generated 11.4k conversions, and the actual ROAS reached 1,961%.

Conversion value: +618%
Number of conversions: 11.4k
Actual ROAS: 1,961%

However, the key outcome was not just the growth in conversion value or high ROAS.

The most important factor was the ability to make budget decisions based on data closer to real profitability, rather than metrics that look strong in the panel but do not support financial performance.

What does “actual ROAS” mean?

It is a way of evaluating performance that goes beyond the ROAS reported by Google Ads and incorporates data that better reflects the real value of sales for the business.

How Did We Do It?
  1. Account restructuring
    We organized the campaign architecture to make the account clear, scalable, and suitable for precise performance analysis.
    The goal was to build a structure that enables informed budget management based on business value.
  2. Separation of brand and non-brand traffic
    We separated brand campaigns from demand-generation activities.
    This allowed for independent evaluation of sales driven by brand awareness and the effectiveness of campaigns targeting new audiences. It also prevented brand performance from inflating overall ROAS and masking weaker prospecting results.
  3. Diversified Google Ads campaign mix
    We implemented and developed campaigns tailored to different stages of the customer journey and product specifics:
  • Search campaigns,
  • DSA campaigns,
  • Performance Max with assets,
  • Performance Max without assets.

Each campaign type played a specific role—from generating new demand to supporting users closer to conversion.

  1. Optimization based on real business value
    The most important shift was moving away from optimization based solely on ROAS reported by Google Ads.

Budgets, bidding, and scaling decisions were evaluated in relation to margins and actual sales value. This enabled more controlled growth without improving metrics that do not translate into business outcomes.

High ROAS Doesn’t Always Mean Profit

ROAS can look strong in the ad panel while failing to reflect the true profitability of campaigns.

In the Bimeb project, the goal was to shift from metric-driven optimization to business-value-driven optimization. Account restructuring, separating brand from non-brand, and focusing on margins enabled better budget allocation and campaign scaling decisions.
