Challenges

• Managing a complex product catalog of team uniforms, custom apparel, and accessories across multiple sports with highly variable demand patterns

• Competitive PPC landscape in the custom team uniform space where cost-per-click is high and intent signals are mixed

Strategy

We built a structured Google Ads account separating individual consumer traffic from B2B team ordering intent, using different landing pages and bid strategies for each. On SEO, we focused on sport-specific and team-specific buying guide content that larger retailers weren't publishing giving Gear Team Apparel authority in niche searches where conversion intent was higher.

Execution

Set up Google Shopping campaigns with product-level bidding optimised by margin tier. Launched Search campaigns targeting team manager and coach buying terms ('buy team jerseys bulk', 'custom basketball uniforms order'). Built sport-specific landing pages for basketball, soccer, baseball, and volleyball team apparel. SEO content included sport-by-sport team uniform buying guides. Revenue growth and ROAS improvement delivered strong year-over-year performance.
