The story on search

Four search tactics, working the whole demand curve.

Paid search is split into four purpose-built campaigns so every stage of intent is covered: capturing new demand, nurturing consideration, conquesting competitors, and defending the brand. Branded is the efficiency engine, product search is the growth lever, and competitor is paused while we tighten it.

How the tactics map to intent

From new demand to brand defense

Capture new demand

Non-brand & conquest

Reach people searching the category or a rival, who do not know Najeau yet.

ProductCompetitor
Nurture

Consideration

Answer the “is this right for me” queries: ingredients, scalp-care, how-it-works.

Consideration
Defend & close

Branded

Own the Najeau terms so the cheapest, highest-intent clicks convert, not a reseller.

Analysis & next steps

What this means

  • Keep Branded fully funded: at €11.7 CPA it is the most efficient conversion source on the account.
  • Scale Product search, the only non-brand path bringing in net-new customers, and feed it the winning scalp-first ad copy.
  • Relaunch Competitor on a tighter, high-intent keyword list rather than broad rival terms; cap the daily budget until CPA proves out.
  • Hold Consideration steady and judge it on assisted conversions, not last-click, since it works upper-funnel.
