Background

ChurchBanners.com serves Christian communities with custom church signage. Exchange Four ran a precision Google PPC campaign with exceptional results.

About ChurchBanners.com

ChurchBanners.com prints custom banners, flags, backdrops and displays for churches, on both fabric and vinyl. Its own copy — “we know Sunday mornings” — points at what makes the category unusual: demand is tied to a calendar of services and seasons, so the buying window for any given design opens and closes on a date.

The challenge

  • Seasonal and niche audience with limited reach
  • Previous campaigns not optimized for ecommerce conversion
  • High competition for church supply keywords
  • Cost per conversion too high to be profitable at scale

“$220,000 in 3 months from a $12,000 ad spend. Exchange Four delivered results we didn't think were achievable.”

The approach

  1. 01Intent-focused keyword strategy targeting ready-to-buy searches
  2. 02Shopping campaigns with optimized product feed and bid strategy
  3. 03Landing page and checkout optimization for religious buyers
  4. 04Negative keyword refinement to eliminate wasted spend

What paid search work involves

Paid search is bought attention, so structure decides whether it pays. Campaigns are built around buyer intent rather than product names, budget concentrates on the searches that convert, and the terms that waste money are excluded deliberately. Conversion tracking has to be right before any of it can be judged — an account without it is guessing.

Reading the numbers

18× return on ad spend is the outlier in this whole set. Average ecommerce Google Ads ROAS runs about 3.3× to 4.2×, so this is four to five times benchmark, and $28 per conversion against $220K of revenue in ninety days is what makes it hold together. One caution: the deck's own summary block for this study contains another client's figures entirely, so the tiles above are the numbers we publish.
