This case study follows a mid-size ecommerce brand that hit a Google Ads growth ceiling after a strong first year running ads in-house. The diagnosis revealed four structural problems: overly aggressive tROAS targets choking volume, Performance Max cannibalizing branded search, GA4 enhanced measurement inflating conversions, and landing pages misaligned to audience temperature. After moving to a done-with-you model pairing the in-house marketer with groas's proprietary engine and a senior strategist, the brand broke through the plateau within 90 days. The piece covers what changed, how, and what in-house teams facing similar ceilings should do next.
