Industry: Ecommerce

Location: USA

Services Delivered

• Google Ads Management
• SEO
• eCommerce Marketing

Challenges

• Managing a complex product catalog of team uniforms, custom apparel, and accessories across multiple sports with highly variable demand patterns
• B2B and B2C buyer mix requiring different messaging — team managers buying in bulk respond to different triggers than individual athletes
• Competitive PPC landscape in the custom team uniform space where cost-per-click is high and intent signals are mixed
• Building organic visibility in a product category where large sporting goods retailers dominated Google's first page

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.

Key Learnings

For team apparel, separating B2B bulk buyers from individual consumers in Google Ads requires discipline — different keywords, different landing pages, and different bid strategies. Team managers converting at 3x higher AOV than individual buyers. Sport-specific buying guides outperformed generic 'custom jersey' pages by a significant margin for both organic rankings and on-page conversion.
