Budget change impact — 4 focus brands
Impact of budget changes on efficiency and attributed sales.
Doctor Squish
Budget raised $2,000 → $3,000 in Q2
✓ Strong positive impact
Despite the higher cap, actual spend fell 22% while sales surged 24%. ROAS jumped from 16.6x to 26.6x — the cap increase unlocked better placements, and the SP product targeting campaigns returned exceptional efficiency. Purchases grew by +1,015 units (28%).
Stumble Guy
Budget: Jan $500 → Mar $800 → May Q2 $1,500
⚠ Negative ROI impact from scale
Spend increased 57% but sales stayed flat (-1.5%). ROAS dropped sharply from 6.0x to 3.8x. The Mar→May budget doubling triggered broader, lower-quality keyword targeting. The "stumble guys" exact match campaign carries the account but broader spend is wasteful. Needs bid optimisation before further scaling.
AirPhysio
Budget: Jan $800 → Apr Q2 raised to $2,000
⚠ Significant efficiency loss
The 2.5× budget jump caused spend to nearly quadruple (+294%) while sales grew only 34%. ROAS collapsed from 17.3x to 5.9x.
Booksy
Budget: Jan $500 → Mar $800 → May Q2 $1,500
- Neutral: budget increase had no incremental effect
Despite the budget path to $1,500, actual spend declined slightly. ROAS remained flat at ~2.2x. Booksy is structurally low-ROAS — high ACoS suggests either low price-point, competitive category pressure, or product-listing conversion issues. Budget cap increases are not the solution; conversion rate and listing quality must be addressed first.
Best & worst performing brands
A balanced view of the strongest scaling candidates and brands needing correction.
↗ Top performers
Doctor Squish — ROAS 26.6x (Q2)
Best brand in portfolio. SP product targeting dominates at ROAS 27x. Multi-ASIN and new-ASIN campaigns both deliver strong returns. Q2 budget raise unlocked even better efficiency.
Tuff Rider — ROAS 16.9x (Q2)
Children's Boot campaigns are the star: $727 spend generated $17,086 sales at 23.5x ROAS. Q2 improvement despite lower spend is strong signal — this brand is underfunded.
AirPhysio Q1 — ROAS 17.3x
Before the Q2 budget explosion, AirPhysio's SP exact-match was exceptional at 28x ROAS on $285 spend. It remains the blueprint for the brand going into H2.
↘ Underperformers
Eyeleve — ROAS 0.65x (Q2)
Spending more than it earns in both periods. ACoS 218% in Q1, improving slightly to 153% in Q2 but still deeply negative. Campaigns lack conversion-ready keywords.
Better Breathing — ROAS 1.85x → ACoS 54%
Q2 performance collapsed. Spend doubled while sales fell 30%. The category is overcrowded; ads are generating clicks that don't convert. Pause or restructure.
Hot Bento — ROAS 1.22x (Q2)
ACoS ballooned to 82% in Q2. Spend fell but sales cratered further. Only 13 purchases on $956 spend. Likely seasonal downturn compounded by mis-targeted campaigns.

Budget pacing issues & anomalies
Campaign and brand observations requiring attention before Q3 scaling.
Note Doctor Squish — efficient under-pacing
Doctor Squish is the clear winner of the budget changes. In April & May raising the cap to $3,000 unlocked better placements, but interestingly actual spend fell while ad sales grew 41% compared to Feb & Mar. The cap increase gave the algorithm room to find better auctions, not just spend more.
Warning Stumble Guy — ROAS decay as budget scales
Each budget increase (Jan $500 → Mar $800 → May $1,500) has not delivered proportional sales. Q2 spend grew 57% while sales stayed flat. Keyword quality score degrading. This is the focus area for the brand.
Warning KLE — dramatic Q2 collapse
ROAS fell from 9.2x → 2.1x. Sales dropped from $11,359 to $2,319 despite similar spend.
Warning Better Breathing — negative ROI in Q2
ACoS jumped to 54%. Every dollar spent is returning $1.85 in sales — too thin to support a healthy margin. Category competitiveness and CPC ($1.23) are unsustainable.
Note Sea-EL — new brand, Q2 only
Launched in Q2 with $190 spend, achieving ROAS 3.6x and ACoS 27.8%. Promising early signal. Structured scale plan recommended for Q3.
Campaign status going into Q3
Scale, restructure, and pause/review groups for next-quarter action planning.
Scale up
✓ Doctor Squish — increase bids on top SP product targeting; test Sponsored Brands video, if we have budget room.
✓ Tuff Rider — We will focus onunderfunded vs performance; especially Children's Boot campaigns
✓ Sea-EL — Already scaled up, but we will continue to monitor and adjust as needed; structured Q3 ramp; 3.6x ROAS is a solid foundation
✓ Campbell — ROAS improved Q1→Q2 (6.6x→9.5x), maintain momentum
Restructure & fix
⚠ AirPhysio — Most of the conversion is coming from the Branded KWs. So we will revert focus to high-ROAS exact match
⚠ Stumble Guy — Morly focus on converted search terms ; concentrate budget on "stumble guys" exact match
⚠ KLE — investigate listing/inventory cause;
⚠ Booksy — Need to do a listing conversion audit before any further budget increase
Review
✗ Eyeleve — ACoS 153% is too high.
✗ Better Breathing — ACoS 54%; need to reshape the campaigns
✗ Hot Bento — ACoS 82%; Already made some strategical changes to the campaigns.
✗ EyeDerm — ACoS is also high above 50%. Already made some strategical changes to this brand also.
H2 2026 — recommendations & testing ideas
Numbered action plan for H2 budget allocation, restructuring, and experiments.
- 01
Efficiency-first budget allocation. Reallocate budget from bottom 3 brands (Eyeleve, Better Breathing, Hot Bento) to Doctor Squish and Tuff Rider which demonstrably return 16–27x ROAS. Portfolio-level ROAS should reach 12–14x with this shift.
- 02
Sponsored Brands video for top brands. Doctor Squish and Tuff Rider are in visually demonstrable categories (toys, equestrian gear). SB video CPCs are typically 30–40% lower than SP while driving brand searches. Test for both in Q3, if we have budget room.
- 03
Booksy needs a listing audit. 1.5% CR rate is much poor. Audit images, A+ content, pricing, and review count before committing more budget. PPC cannot fix a listing problem.
- 04
KLE root cause investigation. ROAS drop from 9.2x → 2.1x in one quarter is not campaign-driven — it signals external disruption. Check inventory levels, buy-box ownership, and new competitor ASINs on the category page. Restore listing health before resuming aggressive PPC.
- 05
Dayparting & placement bid modifiers.
