The Challenge

Breaking Through the Organic Ceiling

Chagrin Valley handcrafts natural, organic soaps and skincare for a loyal customer base. The product quality was exceptional, but new-customer acquisition was the ceiling. Organic traffic alone could not keep up with the growth they wanted.

They needed a paid channel that could bring new beauty buyers into the brand without wrecking margins.

The Strategy

Acquire Profitably, Let Repeat Orders Compound

We built a Google Ads system engineered to acquire new beauty and personal care customers profitably from the first order, then let repeat purchase behavior compound the lifetime value over time.

Performance Max pushed the full product catalog in front of buyers searching and browsing for clean beauty. High-intent search targeted commercial terms around natural soap, organic skincare, and specific ingredients. Demand Gen reached beauty audiences on YouTube and Discover with trust-building visual placements, while branded search protected loyal-customer traffic from marketplace listings.

ROAS on a Customer Acquisition Engine

Beauty and personal care buyers are ingredient-aware and research-heavy. The strategy leaned into that behavior with high-intent search and trust-driven visual placements. Once the first order happens, lifetime value compounds, which is why holding a profitable cost per order mattered more than any other metric.
