Background
Lemonsoda sells glassware across three marketplaces, a real catalog with real volume.
The challenge
An ACOS parked around 60% that no amount of bid-tweaking would move. Efficiency problems at 1,000+ SKUs are rarely about individual bids. They're structural.
At 60%, advertising isn't fueling the business, it's taxing it. What they wanted was an account that pays its way, without ad management becoming a full-time job across three marketplaces.
What Astra changed
Our strategist rebuilt the account's structure by product group and goal, then let Astra run it: daily bid cycles against efficiency targets, converting search terms promoted into exact control, budget flowing toward what actually produced.
Then the daily cycle did what a rebuild alone can't: held the new structure against drift, every day, in all three marketplaces.
Results
In a year, ACOS fell from roughly 60% to roughly 33%. The account's cost of sale cut nearly in half, on about 25 minutes a week of the owner's time.
Cut nearly in half means the same ad budget now buys almost twice the sales. Twenty-five minutes a week is what holding it there costs.
Operator's note
When ACOS is stuck at 60%, the account isn't underbid. It's misstructured. Structure is the lever that moves halves, not points.
