01 · Challenge

A trusted brand, but paid spend that wouldn't return.

Badge of Honour is a respected name in premium badges and embroidered products — strong brand, quality range, loyal following. The ambition was to scale online revenue without diluting any of that. The friction was in the funnel.

Google Ads was inconsistent, conversion rates on paid traffic were low, and organic visibility on core category terms wasn't carrying its weight. Reporting was patchy enough that it was hard to know which lever to pull next.

02 · Approach

Restructure the ads, tighten the site, measure everything.

We rebuilt the Google Ads account around high-intent product and category keywords, with seasonal promo support and tighter bidding. In parallel we ran a focused SEO programme on the pages that already had buying intent.

Then we cleaned up tracking end-to-end so every dollar of spend was attributable, every conversion visible, and every optimisation made on real data rather than guesswork.

The growth playbook
4 workstreams

Google Ads rebuild

Restructured campaigns around high-intent keywords, product categories and seasonal promotions, with strategic bidding and tighter ad copy. The result was a 420% ROI inside 60 days.

Category-led SEO

Optimised category and product pages around the terms Badge of Honour's customers actually search, lifting organic traffic 22% year on year and supporting paid with compounding free traffic.

Conversion rate optimisation

Refined landing pages, sharpened mobile UX and rewrote calls-to-action across the funnel so more of the paid traffic actually converted into orders.

Performance tracking

Integrated proper analytics so every campaign, keyword and conversion was measurable — making continuous optimisation possible rather than theoretical.

03 · The result

$87K in 30 days, a 420% return, and a growing organic base.

Inside 60 days, Badge of Honour pulled $87K in revenue from the paid programme and recorded a 420% return on Google Ads spend — every dollar in returning more than four back.

Organic traffic lifted 22% year on year over the same window, giving the business a compounding, lower-cost channel to sit alongside the paid wins.
