If rank issues fixed
Ad Rank = Max Bid x Quality Score x Extensions Impact. Since campaigns use tROAS (automated bidding), Google sets the bids. The levers we control are: (1) Quality Score — ad relevance, expected CTR, landing page experience, and (2) Ad Extensions — sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets. Fixing these lets Google bid higher automatically.
P0 — Biggest Revenue Opportunity
Branded Search USA
10% impression share | 90% lost to rank | $2,676/day on $3,000 budget | 4.28x ROAS
Current Quality Scores
| Ad Group / Keyword | QS | Ad Relevance | Expected CTR | Landing Page |
|---|
| "vegamour" [EXACT] | 10 | Above Avg | Above Avg | Above Avg |
| "vegamour gro hair serum" [EXACT] | 9 | Average | Above Avg | Above Avg |
| "vegalash volumizing serum" [BROAD] | 8 | Below Avg | Above Avg | Above Avg |
| "vegamour gro revitalizing shampoo" [EXACT] | 7 | Average | Above Avg | Average |
| "vegalash" [BROAD] | 7 | Average | Above Avg | Average |
| "vegamour gro brow serum" [EXACT] | 7 | Average | Above Avg | Average |
Why 10% impression share with QS 7-10? Quality Scores look good, so the rank loss is almost certainly a bid problem. The tROAS target (3.5x) is forcing Google to bid conservatively — it would rather skip an auction than win it at below 3.5x return. Branded keywords have near-100% intent, so lowering the tROAS target lets Google bid more aggressively on these high-converting searches.
Fixes (Rank Recovery)
- 1Lower tROAS from 3.5x to 2.5x. Branded Search is the safest campaign in the account — every click is someone searching "vegamour" by name. At 4.28x actual ROAS, there's massive headroom. Lowering tROAS to 2.5x lets Google bid 40% more aggressively in auctions. This is the #1 lever for unlocking branded impression share. Monitor: if ROAS drops below 3.0x within 7 days, bump back to 3.0x.
- 2Upgrade RSA ads to 15 headlines per ad group. The "vegamour" main ad group has only 6 headlines with AVERAGE Ad Strength. More headlines = more combinations = better auction matching. Here are 9 additional headlines to add (campaign has 8 ad groups — prioritize the top 4 by spend):
| # | Headline (30 char max) | Angle |
|---|
| 7 | Clinically Tested Results | Proof |
| 8 | See Results In 90 Days | Timeline |

| 14 | Try Risk-Free Today | Risk reversal |
| 15 | Award-Winning Hair Wellness | Authority |
- 3Fix Lash Serum ad group — Ad Relevance is BELOW AVERAGE (QS 8). The keyword "vegalash volumizing serum" is BROAD match in a branded campaign — it's matching non-brand queries and the ad copy isn't specific enough. Update the RSA headlines to include "VEGALASH" and lash-specific language. Add these headlines:
| # | Headline |
|---|
| 1 | VEGALASH Volumizing Serum |
| 2 | Fuller Lashes In 90 Days |
| 3 | VEGAMOUR Lash Growth Serum |
| 4 | Prostaglandin-Free Formula |
- 4Fix Shampoo ad group — Landing Page is AVERAGE (QS 7). Keyword is "vegamour gro revitalizing shampoo" but landing page goes to the general site. Send traffic to the specific shampoo PDP (vegamour.com/products/gro-revitalizing-shampoo or similar). Same for Brow Serum ad group (QS 7, landing page AVERAGE).
- 5Add sitelink extensions (if not already present). Sitelinks increase ad real estate and improve Ad Rank directly. Add 4-6 sitelinks: Shop Hair Serums, Shop Lash Serums, Shop Shampoo & Conditioner, GRO+ Advanced, Bundles & Kits, Reviews.
- 6Add missing branded keyword variants. SEMrush shows these high-volume branded terms — verify they're covered:
| Keyword | Monthly Vol | CPC | Notes |
|---|
| vegamour gro hair serum | 8,100 | $3.05 | Should be EXACT — verify in account |
| vegamour hair serum | 2,900 | $2.71 | Verify covered |
| vegamore (misspelling) | 2,400 | $4.03 | Add if not present — high volume misspelling |
| vegamour reviews | 1,900 | $2.11 | High intent — people researching before buying |
| vegamor (misspelling) | 1,000 | $4.03 | Add as EXACT |
| grohair | 880 | $3.91 | Brand product — verify covered |
| vegamour gro | 880 | $3.36 | Verify covered |
| vagamour (misspelling) | 590 | $4.91 | Add as EXACT — highest CPC misspelling |
| does vegamour work | 480 | $3.03 | High commercial intent — send to reviews page |
| veganour (misspelling) | 320 | $4.03 | Add as EXACT |
| vegamout (misspelling) | 260 | $4.03 | Add as EXACT |
Expected impact: tROAS drop from 3.5x → 2.5x alone could increase branded spend from $2,676/day to $5,000-8,000/day while maintaining 2.5x+ ROAS. That's an extra $2,000-5,000/day in brand revenue at highly profitable margins. Combined with the RSA and keyword fixes, targeting 40-60% impression share within 2-3 weeks.
P0 — Highest NB Spend, Low Quality Scores
NB Exact USA (US_Mid_C_Combo_Search-NB-Exact)
27.5% impression share | 72.5% lost to rank | $174/day | 0.63x ROAS (standard) | tROAS 2.0x
Current Quality Scores — The Problem
| Ad Group / Keyword | QS | Ad Relevance | Expected CTR | Landing Page |
|---|
| "Hair Growth Serum" [EXACT] | 5 | Above Avg | Below Avg | Average |
| "products for hair loss treatment" [BROAD] | — | — | — | — |
| "scalp serum" [EXACT] | — | — | — | — |
QS 5 is a major red flag for the highest-spend NB keyword. Expected CTR is BELOW AVERAGE — meaning Google thinks your ads will get clicked less than competitors. Landing page is AVERAGE — not specific to serums. Both of these are dragging down rank and inflating CPCs.
Fixes
- 1Rewrite the RSA — current ad has 10 vague headlines. The existing headlines ("Growth Without Compromise", "Tailored for Your Hair", "Flaunt Fuller Looking Hair") are generic and don't differentiate. None mention price, proof, or specific product names. Replace with:
| # | Headline (30 char max) | Angle |
|---|
| 1 | {KeyWord:Hair Growth Serum} | DKI (pin to H1) |
| 2 | GRO Hair Serum by VEGAMOUR | Product + brand |

- 2Change landing page from vegamour.com → vegamour.com/products/gro-hair-serum (or the GRO Serum collection page). The keyword is "Hair Growth Serum" — the landing page needs to be the serum product page, not the general homepage. This directly fixes the AVERAGE landing page score.
- 3Add sitelinks, callout extensions, and structured snippets to boost Ad Rank signal. Sitelinks: Shop GRO Serum, Shop Lash Serum, Read Reviews, Bundles & Kits. Callouts: Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Free Shipping, 90-Day Results. Snippets: Types — Hair Serum, Shampoo, Conditioner, Lash Serum, Brow Serum.
P0 — Quality Score 3 (Critical)
NB Lash Search (US_Mid_C_LashBrow_Search-NB-Lash)
26.2% impression share | 73.8% lost to rank | $213/day
Current Quality Scores — Critical
| Ad Group / Keyword | QS | Ad Relevance | Expected CTR | Landing Page |
|---|
| "lash serum without prostaglandin" [EXACT] | 3 | Above Avg | Below Avg | Below Avg |
| "eyelash growth serum that works" [EXACT] | 3 | Above Avg | Below Avg | Below Avg |
QS 3 is dangerously low. Two components are BELOW AVERAGE: Expected CTR and Landing Page. This means (1) the current ads aren't compelling enough to click, and (2) the landing page doesn't match the search intent well. This campaign is paying 50-100% more per click than a QS 7+ competitor for the same keywords.
Fixes
- 1Change landing page to the VEGALASH product page. The Landing Page score is BELOW AVERAGE — this is the biggest drag on rank. The landing page MUST be the specific lash serum PDP (vegamour.com/products/vegalash-volumizing-serum or similar), NOT a general collection. The page needs: the keyword "lash serum" in the H1, product benefits, ingredients, reviews, and fast load time.

P0 — Already Covered in NB Report
NB Hair Growth Serum
31.6% impression share | 68.4% lost to rank | $3/day
This campaign is already fully covered in the NB Optimization Report (vegamour-nb-optimization.melleka.app). The team is executing: new 15-headline RSA, 10 new PHRASE keywords, removal of 6 blocking negatives, landing page change to serum PDP, pause of dead AUTO ad group. No additional work needed here — it's the same fixes that improve rank.
P1 — New Campaign, Needs Time
Search | Competitor Conquesting ||
3.6% impression share | 95.1% lost to rank | $49/day
Current Quality Scores
| Ad Group / Keyword | QS | Ad Relevance | Expected CTR | Landing Page |
|---|
| "prostaglandin free eyelash serum" [BROAD] | 5 | Above Avg | Below Avg | Average |
| "lash serum without prostaglandin" [BROAD] | 4 | Average | Below Avg | Average |
| "nutrafol vs vegamour" [PHRASE] | 5 | Above Avg | Below Avg | Average |
| "minoxidil side effects" [BROAD] | 3 | Below Avg | Below Avg | Average |
| "rogaine for women side effects" [BROAD] | 3 | Below Avg | Below Avg | Average |
QS 3-5 is expected for competitor conquesting — you're bidding on someone else's brand, so ad relevance and CTR will naturally be lower. The fix is landing page specificity and ad copy that directly addresses the competitive angle.
Fixes
- 1Create a dedicated comparison landing page. Something like vegamour.com/compare or vegamour.com/vs-rogaine. This page should show: Vegamour vs Rogaine side-by-side ingredients, no minoxidil/hormones messaging, clinical results, customer reviews from switchers. This alone could move landing page from AVERAGE to ABOVE AVERAGE.
- 2Split "minoxidil side effects" and "rogaine side effects" into their own ad group with a problem-aware RSA focused entirely on side effects → switch messaging. Current RSA from the Rogaine ad group is good but these keywords need even more specific "side effects" copy. Headline suggestions: "Tired of Minoxidil Side Effects?", "No Scalp Irritation. No Hormones", "The Clean Hair Growth Solution".
- 3Give it 2 more weeks — this campaign was just imported. All performance labels show "PENDING" which means Google hasn't gathered enough data to optimize. Don't change the structure yet.
P1 — New Campaign, Needs Time
Search | Problem-Aware ||
4.1% impression share | 94.6% lost to rank | $33/day
Status
Just imported from Google — all ads pending. This campaign targets people searching for hair loss problems who don't know about Vegamour yet. Expected CTR will naturally be low for problem-aware keywords. Give it 2 full weeks of data before making changes. The RSAs from the NB Optimization Report are already best-in-class for this intent.
Improvements for After the Learning Period
- 1Landing page should be a "hair loss solutions" or "why your hair is thinning" content page — NOT the product page. People searching "why is my hair falling out" aren't ready to buy. They need education first → then funnel to product. If Vegamour has a blog post or guide page about hair loss causes, use that.
- 2Monitor which keywords generate clicks but zero conversions after 2 weeks. Pause those and double down on ones that convert.
P1 — PMax Has Different Levers
PMax Campaigns (Shampoo Kits, Hair Serums)
PMax Shampoo: 14.9% share, 84.3% lost to rank | PMax Serums: 14.4% share, 80.8% lost to rank
PMax ad rank works differently than Search. There are no keywords or RSAs to optimize — PMax uses asset groups (images, videos, headlines, descriptions, audience signals). The rank improvements come from:
Fixes
- 1Audit asset groups — ensure each PMax campaign has 15+ headlines, 5+ descriptions, 15+ images (varied sizes), and at least 1 video. PMax campaigns with complete asset groups get significantly better rank because Google has more combinations to test across Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, Discovery, and Gmail placements.
- 2Add audience signals. PMax uses audience signals to guide initial learning. Add: (a) Custom segments of people who searched competitor terms, (b) Your customer email list for lookalike targeting, (c) Website visitors for remarketing signal.
- 3Review tROAS targets. PMax Shampoo is at 3.3x but delivering 2.60x — it's already struggling to meet target. Lower to 2.5x to give it more room. PMax Serums is at 2.4x delivering 1.67x — lower to 1.8x temporarily to let it scale, then gradually raise as it learns.
- 4Check Search Term Insights in the Google Ads UI. PMax shows which search terms are driving traffic. If branded terms are leaking into PMax (stealing from Branded Search), add brand terms as negative keywords in PMax via account-level brand exclusions.
P1 — Product Feed Optimization
NB Shopping USA
38.1% impression share | 61.9% lost to rank | $600/day (on shared $50 budget) | tROAS 1.5x
Fixes
- 1Optimize product feed titles. Shopping ad rank depends heavily on product feed quality. Titles should follow: [Brand] + [Product Name] + [Key Attribute] + [Benefit]. Example: "VEGAMOUR GRO Hair Serum - Plant-Based Hair Growth Treatment for Thicker Hair" instead of just "GRO Hair Serum".
- 2Optimize product descriptions. Include top search keywords naturally: "hair growth serum", "hair loss treatment", "thicker fuller hair". Google matches Shopping ads to search queries via product feed content.
- 3Add high-quality product images. White background main image + lifestyle images. Products with multiple images get higher quality scores in Shopping.
- 4Add product ratings and reviews feed. Products showing star ratings in Shopping ads have significantly higher CTR, which improves expected CTR component of rank.
- 5Consider giving NB Shopping its own budget. It's on a shared $50/day budget but spending $600/day (borrowing from the shared pool). If it's performing at 1.04x ROAS, it may be eating budget from better-performing campaigns in the shared pool.
