Your paid ads aren't working. Let's fix that.
Austin ecommerce owners spend $4,500/month on ads with minimal returns. We make every pound and dollar work harder.
📍 Austin Market Insight: Austin's 58,000+ SMBs span tech, real estate, and hospitality—each with different customer journeys. Ecommerce specifically suffers from oversaturated Meta and Google channels where generic campaigns collapse under rising CPCs. The Domain and East 6th Street corridors attract venture-backed competitors with unlimited budgets, meaning mid-market ecommerce businesses must compete on strategy, not spend. Paid marketing in Austin requires surgical audience targeting and continuous optimisation, not spray-and-pray campaigns.

Industry Benchmarks
Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Austin's ecommerce sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your Google Shopping and Meta ads generate clicks but few sales.”
Campaigns are audience-agnostic and retargeting is missing entirely. You're paying for awareness, not conversions.
A $4,500/month spend at 2.1:1 ROAS yields ~$9,450 revenue. Top performers at 4.8:1 generate $21,600—a $12,150 monthly gap.
“Product pages rank on page 3+ for high-intent keywords. Paid ads feel like the only option.”
Organic traffic foundation is weak. You're over-relying on paid to fill funnel gaps that content could own.
Every customer acquisition costs $58 instead of $22. Over a year, that's $432K extra spend for the same 1,000 customers.
“68% of visitors add items to cart but don't check out. You have no retargeting strategy.”
Cart abandoners are vanishing into the void. You're acquiring customers, not converting them into repeat revenue.
100 cart abandons × $120 avg order value = $12,000 in lost monthly revenue. Annually, that's $144,000 in recoverable sales.
How We Get You Results
No mystery. No black box. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us — and what you'll receive at each stage.
Audit & Strategy
Week 1-2We analyse your current Google Shopping, Meta, and Search campaigns—including pixel tracking, audience setup, and landing page experience. For Austin ecommerce, we benchmark your ROAS against local industry standards and identify which channels bleed budget. We pull actual conversion data to reveal where margin is hiding.
20-page Paid Marketing Audit + 90-day roadmap
Audience Rebuild
Week 2-3Generic audiences don't work in Austin's competitive market. We segment your customer base by purchase intent, device, geography (Domain vs. East Austin vs. suburbs), and behaviour. We rebuild Meta lookalikes from high-LTV customers and create intent-based Google Search audiences. Every dollar targets someone likely to buy.
Segmented audience framework + implementation blueprint
Campaign Restructure
Week 3-4We consolidate wasteful placements, optimise bid strategy for ROAS (not volume), and rebuild your product feed for Shopping campaigns. We align creative messaging to buyer stage: awareness audiences see education; consideration audiences see social proof; decision audiences see urgency and guarantees.
Restructured campaigns live in Meta and Google Ads
Retargeting Sequence
Week 4-568% of Austin ecommerce carts go abandoned. We build a multi-touch retargeting sequence: day-1 reminder ad, day-3 objection-handler, day-7 incentive offer. Each touchpoint uses dynamic creative to remind browsers of their exact items and brand benefits.
Live retargeting funnel + automation rules in Meta and Google
Measurement & Optimisation
OngoingWe implement conversion tracking, ROAS dashboards, and weekly reporting—not vanity metrics, real profit metrics. We run 2-3 optimisation rounds per week: pausing underperformers, scaling winners, and A/B testing creative and audiences. You own visibility into spend-to-revenue.
Real-time ROAS dashboard + weekly optimisation calls
After 90 days, your ROAS moves from industry average (2.1:1) toward top-performer levels (4.0+:1), cart abandonment recovers £12K–£18K in monthly revenue, and your team owns a lean, profitable paid marketing engine—not a budget black hole.
Austin Ecommerce Success Stories
An Austin-based direct-to-consumer apparel brand selling via Shopify
Meta and Google Shopping campaigns were generating 1.8:1 ROAS with £6,500/month spend. No audience segmentation, no retargeting, and 71% cart abandonment.
- →Rebuilt audience segments by purchase history and LTV; created high-intent lookalike from repeat customers
- →Restructured Google Shopping campaign to prioritise high-margin products and paused low-performer SKUs draining budget
- →Built 7-day retargeting sequence with dynamic creative showing exact abandoned items and 10% incentive on day 5
“We were throwing money at ads and hoping. Omakaase showed us that our audience strategy was invisible—we were bidding on everyone. Within 3 months, we saw the ROAS shift. By month 6, our team could finally see which £1 was generating £4 in profit. This isn't luck; it's strategy.”
A mid-market Austin home goods ecommerce brand across multiple channels (Shopify, Amazon, own site)
Google Shopping was the only profitable channel (3.2:1 ROAS), but Meta campaigns bled budget at 1.3:1 ROAS. No cohesive strategy across platforms; tracking was fragmented.
- →Unified conversion tracking across Shopify, Amazon, and own site; implemented server-side tracking to bypass iOS privacy loss
- →Paused underperforming Meta placements (Stories, Audience Network) and concentrated budget on high-intent feed placements
- →Launched Google Search campaigns targeting high-intent keywords ('buy [product] near Austin') that Shopping alone couldn't capture
“We thought Meta was just a brand play until we realised we were bidding against ourselves with bad audience overlap. Omakaase untangled the mess—now we can see which £1,000 comes from which audience, which channel, which product line. The dashboards alone changed how we make budget decisions. We went from guessing to data-driven.”
