More about the project
The client – the owner of an online store for building materials in Ukraine – approached with a request to address the issues of high customer acquisition costs and to enhance overall recognition and visibility of the website on Google.
After a detailed analysis of competitors and strategy development, it was decided that contextual advertising would be the best tool to address the set tasks.

What was done during the cooperation?
1. Detailed audience and seasonality analysis
- The audience was segmented by buyer types: professionals (builders, contractors) and private clients.
- Using Google Analytics, popular products were analyzed by seasons, allowing for the identification of demand peaks (e.g., insulation in winter, building mixtures in summer).
- Competitive analysis helped find undervalued niches, such as unique offers for wholesale clients.
2. Creation and setup of multi-format campaigns
- Search campaigns were developed for high-margin products.
