Your paid budget is leaking. We'll plug it.
Sheffield ecommerce businesses waste £340+ monthly on underperforming ads. We fix the funnel—from search to checkout.
📍 Sheffield Market Insight: Sheffield's ecommerce sector spans advanced manufacturing resellers, healthcare suppliers, and direct-to-consumer retailers competing for the same audiences. Most are spending £1,800/month across Google and Meta but seeing ROAS below 2:1 because their retargeting and product feed strategies are outdated. The market is cost-sensitive but data-hungry: businesses here understand ROI and won't tolerate guesswork. Winners in Sheffield ecommerce are those who combine laser-focused audience segmentation with continuous creative testing—and most agencies here aren't doing that.

Recognise Any of These?
These are the most common digital marketing challenges we see in Sheffield's ecommerce sector — and the hidden costs most businesses don't realise they're paying.
“Your Google Shopping and Search campaigns deliver sales, but ROAS plateaued 6 months ago.”
Your product feed is outdated, bid strategies haven't been refreshed, and you're not segmenting by purchase intent. Competition in your category has intensified; generic bidding no longer wins.
For every £1,000 spent, you're leaving £200–400 on the table vs. what's possible.
“Cart abandonment is your biggest leak. You know people add items—then vanish.”
No systematic retargeting funnel. You're chasing cold traffic instead of converting warm. Most Sheffield ecommerce businesses skip dynamic retargeting entirely.
68% of your warm leads convert zero. That's £1,200+ monthly lost revenue per £1,800 ad spend.
“Meta campaigns feel expensive and the data is murky post-iOS update.”
Audience setup is too broad, creative rotation is manual, and you're not leveraging first-party data or lookalike signals effectively. iOS changes require smarter audience architecture.
CPA drifts 40–60% higher than it should. Budget fatigue sets in; you pull back, lose momentum, and blame the platform.
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 pull your Google Ads, Meta, and GA4 data. We map your funnel, identify leaks, and benchmark you against Sheffield ecommerce peers. We also audit your product feed, landing page UX, and retargeting setup. This isn't a surface-level check—we stress-test your assumptions.

Feed & Funnel Rebuild
Week 3–4We overhaul your product feed for Google Shopping—optimising titles, descriptions, images, and custom labels. We rebuild your Google Ads account structure by intent (awareness, consideration, conversion). We set up dynamic retargeting lists and segment by product category and user behaviour.
Cleaned & optimised product feed + restructured Google Ads account + retargeting pixel setup
Audience & Creative
Week 4–5We build layered Meta audiences: lookalikes from your best customers, custom audiences from your website, and interest-based segments. We develop 6–8 creative variants (static and video) tested for your top product categories. Every creative ties to a specific audience segment and buying stage.
Audience stack + 6–8 creative assets (production-ready) + Meta campaign architecture

Live campaigns + daily optimisation notes + weekly performance dashboard
Report & Scale
Week 8+By week 8, we present your Month 1 results: ROAS lift, cart abandonment recovery, cost-per-lead improvement. We identify your winning creative, audience segment, and product category. We then scale budget behind winners and kill underperformers. Rinse and repeat monthly.

After 90 days, you'll have a predictable paid marketing engine: ROAS improves 35–60%, cart abandonment drops by 20–30 percentage points, and cost-per-acquisition falls 25–40%. More importantly, you'll own the data and the system. You'll know exactly which audiences, creatives, and products drive profit.
Sheffield Ecommerce Success Stories
A Sheffield-based outdoor gear retailer selling via their own ecommerce platform and Amazon.
Google Shopping ROAS had dropped from 2.8:1 to 1.4:1 over 6 months. Cart abandonment was 72%. Meta campaigns were burning £800/month with no clear attribution.
- →Rebuilt product feed: added seasonal attributes, high-intent custom labels, and competitor-beating product titles. Improved feed quality score from 62% to 94%.
- →Layered retargeting: dynamic ads for cart abandoners (email + pixel), lookalike audiences from 90-day converters, and interest-based segments by gear category.
- →Split Meta budget: 40% to retargeting, 40% to lookalikes, 20% to broad interest. Tested 8 video creatives, killed 5 immediately, scaled the top 2.
“We were haemorrhaging money on ads we couldn't explain. Omakaase didn't just cut costs—they showed us why our feed was broken and why we weren't retargeting. Six months in, paid marketing is finally our most predictable revenue channel. It's night and day.”
A Sheffield health and wellness ecommerce brand (supplements, skincare) selling direct-to-consumer.
High repeat-customer value (LTV £420), but acquisition cost was £68 via Meta. Google Ads were underutilised. No funnel insight into what products drove profitable customers. Ad fatigue was real after 3 months.
- →Mapped customer journey: which products, price points, and landing pages led to highest-LTV customers. Built audience segments: 'High-LTV trackers' vs. 'One-time buyers'.
- →Google Ads strategy: built Search campaigns by product benefit (energy, sleep, immunity) rather than generic 'supplements.' Added Shopping ads with margin-based bidding: bid more for high-LTV products.
- →Creative refresh cycle: built 12 variants (static + video) testing benefits, customer testimonials, and educational angles. Rotated creative every 3 weeks to fight ad fatigue. Tracked by product line.
“We thought our problem was budget—we needed to spend more. Turns out we were targeting the wrong people and burning out our creative. Once we segmented by LTV and built a real creative rotation, everything changed. Same spend, 60% more revenue. Best money we've spent on an agency.”
