Isolating Holiday Shopper’s Search Results
Through ISO©
What is ISO and why is it so important?
ISO Strategy – [Exact] or “Phrase” Match Targeting
What is it?
 Ability to target an exact keyword or phrase within Google Shopping w/o the need of a daily
negative keyword addition (ie: SQO Strategy)
 Shifting focus away from only product-level performance to search query performance
How is it accomplished?
 Through the use of both the campaign priority settings and negative keyword sculpting
Customer Intent Example
 Ability to bid based upon perceived customer intent
 Ensuring higher placement on terms which show higher customer intent to purchase

Results From Green ISO Strategy Test
Background Info
 Goal - Increase & Monitor Impression Share on Top Performing Queries
 Push For More Offline Engagement (Phone Calls) on These Terms
 Control Product Mix On Top Terms

Learnings

The Red ISO Strategy
The Red ISO Strategy
Improve ROI on Poor Performing Queries
 Main goal is to lower avg. cpc on these terms
 Unless completely irrelevant, recommend implementing red ISO instead of adding term as
negative (unless sculpting)
Can You Implement Both Green & Red Together?
 Yes! See example setup below

The Red ISO Strategy
Value Behind Red ISO
 Test this out on some of your poorest performing search terms. Include some of the terms that you have
previously added as negatives (unless they are totally irrelevant)
 Idea is to re-introduce these search queries into a separate campaign with lower bids than the queries had
previously. I recommend keeping bid levels around half of what your current average Max CPC bids are (not avg.
cpc)

The Red ISO Strategy
30 Days Before & After Results
 I am only concerned with my main metrics of testing during this test due to the introduction of previous negative
keywords which could skew click and overall order totals
 One main difference is that I also allowed ALL products to be available for this campaigns where as in other
campaigns I may have bid down or suppressed specific products.
- Here, I am focused on the query level and not necessarily the product level.
 These numbers can still be a bit misleading but performance improvement is clearly visible and we will be
continuing to add search queries which are not profitable but still relevant to this campaign to further testing.
 Cost Down 66%  Avg. CPC Down 73%  ROAS Up 370%
