Executive summary
UK pet supplies brand is a pet brand operating on Shopify in the UK. They engaged BeingEcom to solve a specific problem - search was 80% branded, no real prospecting - and to build an operating model that would keep compounding after the engagement ended. Across 5 months, we shipped a full ads programme (3 core workstreams), instrumented measurement against a trailing 60-day baseline, and delivered £94k on mrr via pmax alongside supporting lifts in mrr, roas, non-brand.
Where UK pet supplies brand was stuck
Search was 80% branded, no real prospecting. On a Shopify store operating in pet, that pattern shows up as a plateau: paid spend rising, blended margin falling, and the operator making decisions on gut feel because no scorecard existed for ads.
The four blockers we found
- Search was 80% branded, no real prospecting.
- Pet competitors were compounding advantage on the exact creative angles and audiences UK pet supplies brand was ignoring.
- No repeatable ads scorecard - decisions were made on gut feel rather than a weekly profit-per-order readout.
- Internal bandwidth was spent on execution inside Shopify, leaving no room for strategy, measurement or the 5 months sprint the numbers actually needed.
The 5-phase ads system we ran for UK pet supplies brand
Every BeingEcom ads engagement follows the same five phases so accountability, measurement and handover stay clean. Below is how each phase mapped to UK pet supplies brand's 5 months sprint.
1. Discover
Two-week diagnostic of UK pet supplies brand's Shopify storefront, pet category dynamics, and the exact pain: search was 80% branded, no real prospecting. We shadowed the operator, pulled 60 days of baseline data and mapped every gap between the current state and the £94k outcome.
2. Diagnose
Root-cause analysis across account structure, creative library, audience overlap and pixel hygiene. Findings were prioritised by revenue impact so the sprint budget landed on the creative velocity and profit-based pacing that would move mrr via pmax fastest.
3. Design
We shipped the plan as an execution brief: Standard Shopping for control + PMax for scale; Asset group per product collection; Negative keyword pruning weekly. Every line item was tied to a hypothesis, a target metric and an owner. The brief was reviewed with UK pet supplies brand before a single change went live.
4. Deploy
Build phase covered campaign restructure, CAPI hardening and a rolling creative pipeline. Ship cadence was weekly, with a Loom walkthrough every Friday so UK pet supplies brand always knew what changed and why. Rollbacks were pre-scripted for any change that touched revenue-critical surfaces.
5. Measure
A single ads scorecard reconciled Shopify revenue, Meta and Google spend, and email revenue side-by-side. The £94k mrr via pmax figure is measured against the trailing 60 days pre-engagement, reported in the same units UK pet supplies brand uses for board meetings.

Tools, platforms and ownership

TripleWhale for blended ROAS, GA4 for cohort validation
Motion for creative reporting, Foreplay for research, Frame.io for review
Measurement framework
Every uplift is measured against the trailing 60 days before kickoff - not the same month last year. Revenue reconciled in Shopify; spend reconciled in Meta and Google Ads; the two joined in a single weekly scorecard we shared with UK pet supplies brand's founder on Fridays.
Methodology: figures reported from client-owned Shopify, GA4 and Klaviyo dashboards across the full 5 months engagement. Baseline is the 60-day period immediately prior to kickoff. Individual results vary by category, margin and starting position - anonymised source data available on request under NDA.
What each number actually means
Recurring revenue at £94k is what the ads programme is being paid to deliver. This is the number the board tracks.
Blended return on ad spend at 5.2× means every £1 into paid media returned 5.2x in trackable pet revenue - measured across Meta and Google, not siloed by platform.
+340% on Non-brand - a category-specific lift that fed the headline £94k mrr via pmax outcome.
Headline lift: £94k on MRR via PMax
Result after 5 months, measured against the trailing 60-day baseline pre-engagement.
A repeatable ads operating model
UK pet supplies brand now runs the same ads scorecard weekly, ships the same execution cadence, and forecasts revenue from a system that behaves the same way whether the founder is in the office or not. The £94k mrr via pmax number is the headline; the durable advantage is the operating model behind it.

Questions about the UK pet supplies brand engagement
How did BeingEcom lift UK pet supplies brand's paid-media performance?
The Meta and Google account was restructured around standard shopping for control + pmax for scale, then paired with asset group per product collection. Reporting moved from last-click ROAS to profit-based pacing so UK pet supplies brand could compare cohorts weekly rather than reacting to daily noise.
What was the timeline from kickoff to the £94k mrr via pmax outcome?
The engagement ran 5 months. Discovery and diagnosis took the first 1-2 weeks, build and deploy dominated the middle, and the last third was measurement, iteration and handover. UK pet supplies brand saw early signal inside the first 30-45 days, with compounding gains through the full window.
How was the mrr via pmax number of £94k measured?
We used Shopify native reporting for revenue, GA4 for session and cohort behaviour, and Meta / Google Ads managers for spend attribution - reconciled monthly in a single scorecard. All uplift is measured against the trailing 60-day baseline before we started, not the same period last year, to strip out seasonality.
What was actually broken at UK pet supplies brand before we started?
Search was 80% branded, no real prospecting. The knock-on effects were unpredictable weekly numbers and marketing spend that couldn't be tied to profit - the classic pattern for pet brands stuck between £30k and £150k/month.
Which tools and platforms did BeingEcom use on this project?
Core stack: Shopify for the storefront, GA4 with Meta CAPI for tracking, Klaviyo for email flows, and category-specific tooling for Ads - Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, Motion for creative reporting, TripleWhale for attribution and Foreplay for creative research. Everything was configured so the UK pet supplies brand team could keep operating it post-engagement.
Can a similar pet brand expect the same £94k lift?
Uplift depends on starting baseline, margin and category maturity. UK pet supplies brand started from a specific pain point (Search was 80% branded, no real prospecting), so the delta looks large. A brand already running a clean ads programme would expect smaller absolute gains but the same directional wins. We share honest range estimates during the audit.
Were the wins durable after the engagement ended?
Yes. Every playbook was documented, every dashboard was owned by UK pet supplies brand's internal team, and standard operating procedures were left in place for creative production, ads reporting and iteration. The compounding side of Ads - learning-phase efficiency - continued after handover.
What is the biggest lesson from the UK pet supplies brand project?
"PMax lives or dies on the feed. Fix the feed first, then feed the machine." That principle now shapes how we scope every new pet engagement.
