A strategic approach for the agentic era

  • Helping brands adapt now

    The future of search advertising is already here and it represents a significant opportunity. Brands that have adapted early are already claiming a strategic advantage by embracing AI for discovery and engagement.

  • Moving from keywords towards intent-based matching

    Search query length is increasing as shoppers use natural language, meaning ad strategy and product feeds need to adapt. We help brands do just that.

  • Optimising for brand visibility

    Searches are longer, with more complex user journeys. Having visibility in AI Search is now essential for brands to scale the paid media mix. Understanding how to do this becomes critical for success.

Utilising proprietary tech from the CTI Digital innovation team

Product Maxer: Improving ROAS through product segmentation

In many cases, 80% of conversions in Google Shopping Ads are driven by 10% of products. We built Product Maxer to as a strategic layer on top of smart bidding, effectively forcing the algorithm to start scaling these top products and controlling spend on low ROI/margin products. The tool automatically labels all products into different categories by 30-day ROAS, then segments Google Ads campaigns accordingly.

Maxer can be configured for your unique business requirements and customised for click thresholds. Works alongside other feed management tools.

Ads Analyst: Automating campaign analysis to save your time

Ads Analyst connects to a Google Ads account and analyses campaign performance over the last week vs. the previous period.

Insights are delivered to Gmail or Slack, with the tool flagging concerns and providing new strategic recommendations as it learns.

As well as giving our specialists time back to focus on growing your campaigns, it also acts as another set of eyes on client accounts.
