    How It Works

    Google Ads run as a system you can actually understand.

    Not a black box. Not "trust the algorithm." A clear system where every decision is visible, every spend is intentional, and every result is explainable.

    Instead of:

    "The algorithm is learning."

    Instead of:

    "ROAS is up, so we're increasing budget."

    Instead of:

    "It's performing well across the account."

    You'll hear:

    "Here's exactly what changed, why, and what happens next."

    What You Get

    A system built around your commercial reality

    We follow a four-phase process: Map, Assign, Build, Govern. Tailored to your specific business. Here's what that means in practice.

    Week 1-2

    Complete Commercial Audit

    Full spend analysis, waste identification, and opportunity mapping. You'll know exactly where money is going, what's working, and what's leaking.

    Week 2-3

    SKU Role Assignment

    Every product gets a commercial purpose: margin driver, cash recycler, stock clearance. Nothing runs without defined success criteria.

    Week 3-4

    Account Restructure

    Campaigns rebuilt around your business priorities, not Google's defaults. Structure you can actually read and explain to stakeholders.

    Ongoing

    Governance & Reporting

    Weekly decision summaries, monthly reviews, exception tracking. You stay informed without being in the weeds.

    Start Your 30-Day Transformation

    What You'll Experience

    Clarity you can take to the board

    When finance asks why spend went up last month, you'll have an answer. When the CEO asks which products are actually profitable, you'll know.

    Every decision in your account will be documented, justified, and tied to a commercial outcome. No more guessing. No more hoping.

    What Changes

    Control without micromanagement

    You don't need to check your account every day. You don't need to second-guess every recommendation. The system is designed to give you oversight without creating more work.

    Clear governance rules mean budget behaves predictably. Exception limits mean surprises don't happen. You stay in control without being in the weeds.

    Budget governanceException limitsProactive alerts

    The Bottom Line

    Complete visibility. Zero surprises. Real control.

    This is what it feels like when your Google Ads account works for your business instead of the other way around. When you know what's happening, why, and what comes next.

    Every decision documented
    Clear spend governance
    Exception limits enforced
    Commercial accountability

    If We Part Ways

    You leave with everything you need

    We don't believe in lock-in. If our engagement ends for any reason, you'll have everything needed to continue independently or with another agency.

    Full Documentation

    Complete account structure rationale, campaign naming conventions, bidding logic, and decision history. Your next team won't start from scratch.

    Clean Handover

    30-day transition period with documented processes, scheduled reviews, and direct access to the team for any questions. No rushed exits.

    Your Assets, Your Access

    You own everything. Feeds, tracking, audiences, creative. We require minimal access (admin on Ads, read on Analytics) and return it all on departure.

    Ready to work this way?

    Start with a free commercial audit. You'll see exactly where your current account stands, and what could change.

    How We Communicate

    You'll never wonder what's happening

    Clear communication rhythms mean you stay informed without endless meetings. Here's exactly how we'll work together.

    Weekly Loom Updates

    Every week you'll receive a recorded walkthrough of what changed, why, and what's planned next. Watch on your schedule.

    Slack or Email Access

    Direct line to your account team. No ticket systems, no waiting for scheduled calls. Questions answered same business day.

    Monthly Strategy Calls

    30-minute video call to review performance, discuss upcoming priorities, and align on commercial goals.

    Face-to-Face When It Matters

    We're not hidden behind screens. For onboarding, strategic reviews, or when the conversation is too important for video, we'll come to you.

    Escalation Process

    Urgent issues? Direct escalation to senior team within 4 hours. Critical account problems never wait for scheduled meetings.

    The JudeLuxe Operating System

    Excellence that's systemised, not improvised

    "What if one of you gets sick?" is a fair question. The answer: the same thing that happens every day. The system runs. Because our excellence is built into documented processes, automated monitoring, and redundant team structures-not individual heroics.

    Commercial Strategy

    Consultancy-depth, agency execution

    At £1M+ scale, you don't just need someone to manage campaigns. You need a partner who understands unit economics, speaks to your CFO's concerns, and can navigate the attribution chaos that comes with multi-channel growth.

    We combine strategic advisory with hands-on execution. The thinking and the doing, from the same team.

    Why £1M+ brands choose us over big agencies

    • Depth over breadth: We go deeper on Google Ads than generalist agencies spread across 10 channels
    • Commercial fluency: We speak P&L, not just platform metrics
    • Senior attention: No account managers as intermediaries-strategists do the work
    • Systemised excellence: Enterprise processes without enterprise bureaucracy

    CFO-Level Reporting

    Reports your finance team will actually read. P&L impact, cash flow implications, and working capital considerations-not just ROAS.

    • Monthly board-ready summaries
    • Contribution margin by channel
    • Cash conversion cycle impact
    • Seasonal forecasting models

    P&L Reconciliation

    Google Ads says one thing. Shopify says another. GA4 says something else entirely. We reconcile the numbers that matter.

    • Cross-platform revenue matching
    • Return/refund adjusted figures
    • Discount impact quantification
    • True customer acquisition cost

    Attribution Advisory

    Help navigating the attribution landscape. When to trust last-click, when to use modelled conversions, and how to make decisions with imperfect data.

    • GA4 vs Google Ads discrepancy analysis
    • MMM and incrementality guidance
    • Blended CAC frameworks
    • Channel interaction modelling

    Unit Economics Integration

    Bidding that accounts for your real margins. Not assumed margins. Not average margins. SKU-level profitability driving every decision.

    • Landed cost integration
    • Variable margin by variant
    • Inventory holding cost consideration
    • Payment terms in ROAS calculation

    LTV-Based Acquisition

    First-order ROAS is a starting point, not the answer. We build bidding strategies around cohort LTV and predictive customer value.

    • Cohort performance analysis
    • Repeat purchase probability
    • Customer segment valuation
    • Blended LTV:CAC targets

    Inventory-Informed Bidding

    Don't advertise what you can't sell. Don't ignore what's aging. Bidding that reflects your stock reality, not just your margins.

    • Days of stock integration
    • Aging inventory escalation
    • Pre-order and backorder handling
    • Seasonal stock positioning

    How does JudeLuxe's onboarding process work?

    TLDR: 2-3 weeks: commercial mapping, account audit, then implementation. The diagnostic phase shapes every decision.

    Onboarding takes 2-3 weeks across three phases. Week 1 covers commercial mapping and P&L review to understand your margins, COGS, and product economics. Week 2 is a full account audit with a restructure plan. Week 3 begins implementation. We don't rush because the diagnostic phase determines bidding strategy, budget allocation, and campaign structure for everything that follows.

    Onboarding timeline:
    2-3 weeks
    Contract model:
    Rolling monthly after 3-month setup
    Notice period:
    30 days

    What communication and reporting do you provide?

    TLDR: Direct strategist access via Slack/Teams. Weekly summaries, monthly reviews, quarterly business alignment.

    Every client gets direct Slack or Teams access to their named strategist with no account manager gatekeeping. Weekly performance summaries are delivered every Monday. Monthly strategic reviews cover commercial trends and optimisation priorities. Quarterly business reviews align ad strategy with your commercial calendar. We also send weekly Loom video updates walking through account changes.

    Urgent response SLA:
    4 hours
    Weekly updates:
    Performance summary + Loom video

    What ecommerce platforms does JudeLuxe integrate with?

    TLDR: Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and headless. We pull margin data directly into bids.

    We integrate with Shopify, Shopify Plus, Magento 2, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and headless commerce setups. We also connect to your analytics, ERP, and finance tools to pull margin and COGS data directly into bidding decisions. This integration means bids reflect real product economics, not just revenue signals from Google's conversion tracking.
