The Story

From no paid ads, no funnel, no tracking to a diversified scaling engine.

⚠ Before working with us

A product line, a store, and zero paid acquisition.

When the founder came to us, the brand had a strong product line — hats, polos, ball markers, headcovers — and a Shopify store doing some organic sales. But no Meta Ads, no Pixel set up properly, no funnel. They had never worked with an agency before.

The growth ceiling was hard. Organic word-of-mouth in a hyper-niche category caps fast, and they couldn't get past it.

!
No paid acquisition — every order came from organic, referral, or repeat customers
!
Pixel & CAPI not configured — no foundation to even start running profitable ads on
!
No funnel architecture — no retargeting layer, no product catalogue feed, no testing rhythm
!
Seasonal demand unmanaged — golf revenue collapses Nov–Feb without a plan
✓ 8 months later

The first agency in. 7 strategies live. $138K tracked.

We were the first paid-media agency to touch the account. We built the entire engine from scratch — server-side tracking first, then funnel, then campaigns. Every dollar of the $29.6K spend was our deployment, structured across 7 strategy tracks so no single campaign could become a single point of failure.

The brand now has predictable revenue, a creative testing rhythm, and a seasonal calendar with pre-planned offers.

Server-side CAPI from day one — tracking ~98% of conversions even after iOS
7 active strategy tracks — Retargeting, Catalogue, Lookalike, Product, Promo, Pre-order, Prospecting
214 controlled tests over 8 months — 54 hit 4×+ ROAS, 33 over 5×, 10 above 8×
Seasonal calendar — Christmas, Father's Day, Maestros launched with offer ladders
What we actually did

No "we optimised" handwaving. Here's exactly what shipped.

Every number below is from the raw Meta Ads Manager export — 214 campaigns over the Sep 2025 – May 2026 window.

214

$34,683

From $6.8K spend

The Retargeting layer alone returned 5.09×. We scaled it 7× over the window without ROAS collapse.

32%

Max single-strategy share

No strategy contributed more than 32% of revenue — protecting the brand from any single channel collapsing.

The data, unfiltered

Pulled straight from Meta Ads Manager.

If you read these charts and have questions, that's the point — we'll answer them on the call.

Revenue by strategy track

Total
Retargeting generated 25% of revenue at 5.09× ROAS — but it's only 23% of spend. The diversification across 7 strategies is what protects the brand from any single channel collapsing.

Spend mirrors strategy maturity — Retargeting + Prospecting took the biggest slices because they were the most volume-scalable.
ROAS by strategy
Every track beat the 2.5× e-commerce benchmark

Seasonal/Promo (6.45×) and Pre-order (6.32×) were the highest-return tracks — proof that calendar-driven launches deserve their own budget bucket.

≥4× ROAS

"We had a product but no idea how to get it in front of golfers. Adverge built the entire ad engine from scratch — and turned our store into a predictable revenue engine."

Your store is probably stuck on the same three things

If you're reading this, your account likely has 3 of these same gaps.

1
Tracking is leaking 20–40% of conversions iOS broke Pixel attribution. Most brands have never fixed it server-side.
2
One campaign is doing too much of the work When that campaign decays, revenue falls off a cliff. We've seen this with 9 out of 10 accounts we audit.
3
No structured creative testing Same ads, same audiences, same offers for months. Your CPMs only go up from here.
Your store could be next
