Google Ads that capture demand at the moment of intent

Curve · Oslo

Curve runs Google Ads for DTC brands in Norway, Sweden and Denmark: Search, Shopping and Performance Max, with feed optimisation, bidding strategy and conversion tracking so every click has a clear path to purchase. We work on a performance model, and on seasonal accounts Google has reached 8.5x+ ROAS as a second channel alongside Meta.

Search captures what Meta creates.

People see the product in the feed, then search for it. Google is where that demand gets caught, and the account has to be structured to be waiting: non-branded search first, Shopping and Performance Max on clean feeds, branded protected but never inflating the numbers.

Run separately from paid social, both sides claim the same conversions and nobody optimizes the handoff. We run them as one system.

Capture, built properly

Every part of the Google account is bid toward revenue, not last-click noise.

Non-branded search first

New customers come from non-branded queries. That is where the budget leads, with structure that keeps automation honest.

Shopping and PMax on clean feeds

Feed quality decides Shopping performance. We rebuild titles, attributes and segmentation before scaling spend.

Revenue bidding and attribution

Bidding optimizes toward revenue with server-side data, so automation is held to the same standard as every other channel.

Audit, rebuild, capture

01

Audit and rebuild

We start with the search terms report, the feed and the conversion setup. Wasted spend, cannibalised branded traffic and broken tracking get fixed before we scale anything.

02

Fix the measurement

Server-side tracking and CAPI go in first, so smart bidding learns from complete, deduplicated data instead of a leaky pixel and last-click noise.

03

Structure the account

Branded and non-branded search are separated, Shopping is segmented by margin and priority, and Performance Max gets asset groups and exclusions that keep it honest.

04

Optimise weekly

Search term hygiene, bid targets, feed fixes and budget shifts happen every week, informed by what Meta is doing on the demand-creation side.

05

Scale and report

Once the account converts on clean data, we push budget into the auctions that pay back and report on revenue and bottom line, not vanity ROAS.

Results, not reports

These are full-account outcomes where Google did its job as the capture layer under coordinated paid social. Across the brands we run, 91% see a bigger bottom line within 45 days. Google rarely carries a business alone, but as disciplined demand capture alongside Meta it turns intent into orders at a cost that holds up as you scale.

Questions, answered

Do I need Google if I already run Meta?
+
Usually yes. Meta creates demand and Google captures it. Running only Meta leaks conversions to competitors when your newly-interested customer searches for you.
Is Performance Max worth it?
+
It can be powerful, but we run it alongside structured Search and Shopping so we keep visibility and control over where budget goes, rather than handing everything to a black box.
Should I run branded search if people already know my name?
+
Yes, but as its own campaign, split from non-branded. Keeping it separate stops cheap branded clicks from inflating your ROAS everywhere else, and it lets us measure how much of Google's return is genuinely incremental.
Why does server-side tracking matter for Google?
+
Smart bidding only learns from the conversions it can see. A browser-side pixel degraded by consent gating and iOS undercounts orders, so bids skew to last-click. Server-side tracking and CAPI feed the algorithm complete revenue data, so it optimises on real margin.
Won't Performance Max just eat my branded traffic?
+
It will if you let it. We add brand exclusions and account-level negatives so Pmax focuses on new demand, and we keep branded search as its own line, so the numbers stay honest.
How do Google and Meta share budget?
+
Under one team, budget moves across the funnel to whichever channel is buying the next order most efficiently that week. Meta creates demand, Google captures it, and we plan them together rather than as two separate invoices.
Do you work with brands outside Scandinavia?
+
Our focus is DTC and e-commerce brands in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, where we know the market and the search behaviour. Book a call and we will tell you honestly if it is a fit.
What does it cost?
+
Performance model, fee tied to results. Book a call for an exact figure.
