Reviving a Declining Account to $220K in Sales
GKHair's Google Ads performance had been sliding for months. Spend was steady but returns kept falling, and the account had lost the structure it needed to compete in a crowded professional haircare market.
GKHair
GKHair is a global keratin haircare brand selling professional treatment products to both consumers and salons across multiple markets.
A steadily declining account with no clear cause
Nothing was catastrophically broken, which made the decline harder to diagnose. Performance was leaking across a wide product line, competitive bidding pressure, and campaigns that had stopped being maintained.
How we approached the account
Diagnose the leak
Full account audit across search terms, products, geos, and devices to find where efficiency was actually being lost.
Rebuild around winners
Restructured campaigns around the product families and markets that carried the margin, and cut the rest back.
Stabilize and hold
Set a disciplined optimization cadence so performance stopped drifting between reviews.

What other brands can take from this
Decline is usually a maintenance problem
Accounts do not stay optimized. Without a cadence, search terms drift and efficiency quietly erodes.
Not all products deserve equal budget
Margin-weighted prioritization in Shopping recovered a large share of the wasted spend.
Global does not mean everywhere
Concentrating budget in the markets that convert profitably beat thin coverage across every country.
Stability comes before scale
The account had to hold a reliable ROAS before it was safe to increase spend again.
