Impact

What changed, in numbers.

57%Reduced TACoS

Dropped to 11.62% in 21 days while growing sales by 34%.

620Precision actions

Agents executed 600 automated bid actions and negated 20 irrelevant queries.

500+Proactive hygiene

The Negative Agent reviewed 500+ search terms to cut low-intent traffic before it drained the budget.

15+Hours reclaimed

Automated workflows replaced repetitive manual optimization cycles.

The challenge

The high cost of reactive execution

Manual processes were too slow and time-consuming to support the deep data analysis needed for profitable decision-making.

Search term leakage increased costs

Irrelevant or low-intent queries accumulated spend between manual review cycles, inflating TACoS without proportional sales impact.

Lack of deep analysis limited scale

Granular analysis was so labor-intensive that budget stayed tied to a narrow set of expensive targets.

Reactive execution caused drag

By the time the team analyzed the data, market conditions had shifted and the budget was already lost.

The solution

An intelligent tool for efficient scaling

Optimization governed by a strict 25% target ACoS derived from COGS, with agents handling execution and every action documented.

1Smart guardrails and foundation

A 25% target ACoS derived from COGS kept every action aligned with net profitability. The Listing Optimization Agent refined imagery and metadata before scaling, and a real-time inventory link paused ads for low-stock items.

2Precision execution at scale

The Bidding Agent executed over 600 actions shifting budget toward high-intent demand. The Negative Agent audited 500 search terms and blocked 20 irrelevant queries, while Placement and Dayparting Agents optimized multipliers for peak windows.

3Auditability and human control

Every AI action included a trigger metric and reasoning report. A self-learning loop integrated human feedback to refine future actions.

The results

From defence to offence

In 21 days, Black & White Towels drove TACoS down to 11.62% while achieving 34% growth. The brand shifted from defensive cost-cutting to offensive expansion, free to test new markets and launch products with automated guardrails maintaining efficiency as they scale.
