EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Paid Marketing doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Paid Marketing” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Minneapolis ecommerce is a different game.
We’ve run Paid Marketing here. We know what it takes.
Your ad spend isn't broken. Your strategy is.
Minneapolis ecommerce merchants spend an average of $3,200 monthly on paid marketing, yet 68% report ROAS below 2:1 on Meta and Google Shopping. The city's retail-heavy economy creates intense competition for ad inventory, especially in North Loop and Downtown districts where CPCs climb 34% higher than national averages. Success requires surgical audience targeting, aggressive creative testing, and real-time bid optimization—skills most in-house teams lack. Agencies charging $1,800–$8,000/month often underdeliver because they treat all accounts as templates rather than unique ecosystems.
The 3 places Minneapolis ecommerce brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 ecommerce brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Google Shopping ROAS had dropped to 1.3:1 over 6 months. Feed was outdated (no size attributes, vague descriptions). Meta campaigns were showing identical ads to cold traffic and cart abandoners, causing margin erosion and audience fatigue.
Rebuilt product feed with 47 custom attributes (material, fit, sustainability certifications) and rewrote 280 product titles for buyer intent matching.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Paid Marketing has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 6 months, your paid marketing operates as a precision instrument rather than a cash drain. Most clients achieve 3.2–5.1:1 ROAS, cut CAC by 38–52%, and recapture 22–34% of abandoned cart value through segmented retargeting.
Audit & Intelligence
We map your entire paid ecosystem: Google Ads, Meta, Shopping feed, and conversion tracking. We identify leaks (poor feed, broken pixels, weak audience segments) and benchmark your performance against Minneapolis ecommerce top performers.
Feed & Structure Rebuild
We optimize your product feed for Google Shopping (titles, descriptions, categories, attributes), rebuild your Google Ads account structure by product line and buyer stage, and set up proper conversion tracking and audience segments.
Creative Testing & Sequencing
We build a testing schedule for Meta (3-5 new ad variations weekly) and establish a sequential messaging framework: awareness → consideration → urgency. Each audience tier receives tailored creative and offers.
Bid & Budget Optimization
We shift spend from underperforming channels into proven winners, adjust bids by audience segment and time of day, and implement dynamic budget allocation based on real-time ROAS data.
Continuous Improvement & Reporting
We provide weekly performance reviews, test new audience segments, refine copy and creative based on conversion data, and adjust strategy quarterly based on seasonal trends and competitive movement in the Minneapolis market.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“Finally, an agency that talks about margin, not clicks. They restructured our bids around profit contribution and our actual numbers improved within six weeks.”

“Google Ads was our biggest cost centre. It's now our highest-margin acquisition channel. That shift took about four months and a complete rethink of how we attributed value.”

“The attribution model they built showed us that 40% of our paid conversions had an organic first-touch. We restructured the whole channel mix based on that one insight.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before I see results?
Quick wins (feed optimization, bid fixes, audience segmentation) typically show within 2–3 weeks. Meaningful ROAS improvement usually takes 6–8 weeks as creative testing and algorithms stabilize. Full strategic impact is 3–6 months. We provide weekly dashboards so you see progress in real time.
What if my conversion tracking is broken?
This is common and often the first thing we fix. We audit your GA4, pixels, and server-side tracking. Most clients underestimate true ROAS by 20–40% because conversions aren't being captured correctly. Fixing tracking alone sometimes reveals your campaigns are more profitable than you realized.
Do you guarantee a specific ROAS?
No. We guarantee transparency, effort, and weekly reporting. ROAS depends on your margins, product mix, competitive landscape, and audience. We set achievable targets based on your audit and compete fiercely to exceed them. If we can't make paid work for your business model, we'll tell you upfront.
What's your typical retainer range for an ecommerce business like mine?
Most Minneapolis ecommerce clients start at $2,400–$4,200/month depending on account complexity, ad spend volume, and channel mix. We customize pricing based on audit findings and goals. Transparency: we'll tell you the investment required before onboarding.
How is Omakaase different from other Minneapolis agencies?
We specialize exclusively in paid marketing performance. Most agencies are generalists trying to do SEO, content, design, and ads equally. We go deep on one thing: making every advertising dollar measurable and profitable. We also publish real case studies and welcome performance audits—we have nothing to hide.
