How Hustle Marketers Generated $346K in Revenue for a Pet Accessories Brand at 5.12x ROAS

This pet accessories PPC case study breaks down how Ishant Sharma and Hustle Marketers generated $346K in revenue at 5.12x ROAS for an Australian pet brand using Google Ads and Meta Ads.

Client: Pet Accessories Company (Australia)

Service: Google Ads + Meta Ads

About the Client

A Shopify-based pet accessories brand in Australia selling collars, harnesses, grooming tools, and pet apparel. Small team (under 10 employees), strong product margins, and solid repeat purchase rates. They’d worked with two agencies before but couldn’t get consistent ROAS from either Google or Meta Ads.

Ishant Sharma and the Hustle Marketers team took over the accounts in February 2026 with one goal: make every dollar of ad spend generate at least 5x in revenue.

What Wasn’t Working Before Hustle Marketers

Three things were holding this account back:

Google Shopping feed running on Shopify defaults. Product titles like “Blue Dog Collar” competing against listings with “Adjustable Waterproof Dog Collar for Large Breeds, Blue, Reflective Stitching.” Weak titles mean weak CTR, and weak CTR means Google stops showing your products.

Flat campaign structure with zero segmentation. A $8 chew toy and a $120 premium harness sharing the same budget, same bidding, same asset group. The algorithm had no signals about which products deserved more spend.

Stale Meta Ads creative with no testing. Same three ads running since late 2025. No UGC, no carousels, no refresh cycle. The iOS attribution gaps hadn’t been addressed either.

We’d seen this exact pattern across 500+ e-commerce brands and had a playbook ready.

How Ishant Sharma Restructured Google Ads to Hit 6.89x ROAS

This is the core of the turnaround. Ishant Sharma, who has personally managed 2,000+ Google Ads accounts, rebuilt this account from the ground up using the framework we’ve refined at Hustle Marketers over 12+ years.

Google Shopping Feed Rebuild

Every Shopping campaign lives or dies by its product feed. Our first move was rewriting every product title in the catalog to include three things that buyers actually search for: the product type, the material or feature, and the size or breed suitability.

“Dog Harness” became “No-Pull Dog Harness for Medium Breeds, Reflective, Adjustable Chest Strap.”

“Cat Collar” became “Breakaway Cat Collar with Bell, Soft Nylon, Adjustable 8-12 Inch.”

None of this is guesswork. Actual search query data from the account tells us exactly how people search, and we reverse-engineer each title to match. Title optimization alone lifted Shopping CTR by over 40% in the first three weeks.

Custom labels helped separate products by margin. High-margin products (anything above 50%) got aggressive bids. Low-margin accessories that existed mainly to increase average order value got conservative budgets with a cap. That one change stopped the account from wasting $15 in ad spend to sell a $12 product.

Campaign Architecture Built for Scaling

The single campaign got split into four based on product category and margin tier:

High-margin hero products. These are the top 20% of SKUs that drive 60% of revenue. They got the largest budget allocation and target ROAS bidding set to 500%.

Mid-range accessories with repeat purchase potential. Products like replacement leads, grooming refills, and seasonal bandanas. These don’t generate huge single orders, but the LTV of a customer who buys a $25 bandana every season adds up.

Seasonal and trending products. Time-sensitive budget allocation that scales up during peak periods (Christmas, EOFY sales in Australia, National Pet Day) and pulls back during off-peak.

New product launches. Dedicated testing budget with lower ROAS expectations for the first 14 days, then graduated into the appropriate campaign based on performance.

Each campaign had its own asset groups with tailored headlines, descriptions, and images. Nothing got dumped into one Performance Max campaign to let the algorithm figure it out. Every product category got clear signals about what to prioritize.

Total Revenue: $251,091.85

Total Purchases: 1,380

ROAS: 6.89x

Ad Spend: $36,400

Average Order Value: $181.95

Cost Per Purchase: $26.38

For every dollar spent on Google Ads, the client got $6.89 back. And this wasn’t a one-week spike from a sale event. The trend line shows consistent purchase volume across the entire four-month period, with steady growth from January through April.

That 6.89x blended ROAS puts this account in the “great” tier for pet products. According to our ROAS benchmarks across 12 e-commerce industries, the average Google Ads ROAS for pet accessories is 3.6x and “good” starts at 5x. This client is running well above industry average.

What ROAS Did the Meta Ads Campaigns Deliver

Google Ads handled the high-intent buyers. People searching “buy dog harness online Australia” already know what they want. Meta Ads served a different purpose: finding new customers who didn’t know about the brand yet, then bringing back visitors who browsed but didn’t buy.

Across the campaign period, 221 active ads ran across multiple ad sets. Here’s what the top performers delivered:

What makes this pet accessories case study different is the real screenshots.

How Each Ad Set Performed

Retargeting (Top Performer): 7.72x ROAS, 48 purchases, $4,817 revenue. This was a dynamic product retargeting campaign showing the exact products visitors viewed in the last 30 days. We layered in a “frequently bought together” creative that cross-sold related accessories. If someone looked at a harness, the retargeting ad showed the harness plus a matching lead and poop bag holder.

Warm Audience Retargeting: 3.69x ROAS, 107 purchases, $12,641 revenue. This targeted people who engaged with the brand’s social content or visited the site but didn’t view specific products. The creative focused on social proof (review screenshots, customer photos) rather than specific products.

Lookalike Audiences: 3.07x ROAS, 106 purchases, $9,208 revenue. Built from their highest-LTV customer list (customers with 3+ repeat orders). Lookalikes based on repeat buyers consistently outperform lookalikes based on all purchasers because the seed audience is higher quality.

Interest-Based Targeting: 2.93x ROAS, 73 purchases, $6,606 revenue. Targeting pet owners by breed interest, pet age, and lifestyle signals. We found that targeting specific breed groups (golden retriever owners, french bulldog owners) converted at 2 to 3x the rate of generic “pet owner” targeting.

Broad Prospecting: 2.93x ROAS, 264 purchases, $23,191 revenue. This was the scale driver. Broad targeting with strong creative does the heavy lifting on Meta in 2026. We gave the algorithm room to find buyers, and it delivered 264 purchases at a profitable ROAS.

Volume Driver: 2.79x ROAS, 365 purchases, $39,037 revenue. The largest ad set by spend ($14,012) and purchase volume. This campaign ran across the widest audience and generated the most total revenue of any single ad set. At 2.79x ROAS, it’s profitable on first purchase and becomes highly profitable when you factor in the 40 to 60% repeat purchase rate in pet accessories.

Meta Ads Results: Jan to May 2026

Here are the combined Meta Ads numbers:

Total Revenue: $95,502.76

Total Purchases: 963

Blended ROAS: 3.06x

Total Ad Spend: $31,232

Average Order Value: $99.17

Cost Per Purchase: $32.43

A 3.06x blended ROAS across prospecting, retargeting, and lookalikes is strong for a pet accessories brand. The retargeting layer alone hit 7.72x, which means customers who came back to buy generated nearly $8 for every $1 spent. That’s the power of running a full-funnel Meta strategy instead of just boosting posts and hoping for sales.

Creative Testing That Actually Works

Running three ads and hoping for the best? That’s not how this works. Our team tested 221 ads over the campaign period using a structured rotation:

Week 1, we launch 5 to 8 new creatives per ad set. Mix of UGC-style videos, carousel product shots, and single-image lifestyle posts. Week 2, anything below 2x ROAS after 50+ link clicks gets killed. No exceptions, no “let’s give it more time.” Week 3, winners get scaled with 20% daily budget increases. Week 4, we refresh with new angles based on what worked in the winning hooks.

For this pet brand, three creative formats outperformed everything else. First, UGC-style videos showing real dogs wearing the products, shot on phones, not in a studio. Second, carousel ads organized by pet size (“Small Dogs” / “Medium Dogs” / “Large Dogs”). Third, before-and-after comparison images showing their product quality next to a cheaper alternative.

What the Client Had to Say

After three months of working with Hustle Marketers, the CEO left a verified 5.0 review on Clutch:

“I was impressed with their accountability and performance.”

Here’s how they rated us:

Quality: 5.0 They rated the actual work output as perfect.

Schedule: 4.5 We hit every reporting deadline and weekly optimization cycle.

Cost: 4.5 The pricing delivered clear ROI relative to what they were paying.

Willing to Refer: 5.0 They’d recommend Hustle Marketers without hesitation.

From the Clutch review: “Hustle Marketers has helped the client increase their sales revenue and ROAS. The team consistently meets deadlines for tasks and reporting. Moreover, they hold themselves accountable for the project’s performance.”

That last line is the one that matters. Accountability. When a campaign underperforms, we don’t blame the algorithm or the market. We fix it.

Pet Accessories PPC Results: The Combined Numbers

Few pet accessories PPC case studies show combined Google and Meta numbers.

Total Revenue (Google + Meta): $346,593

Combined ROAS: 5.12x

Campaign Start: February 2026

Status: Ongoing

That’s $346K in trackable revenue from $67K in ad spend across both platforms in four months. A client who couldn’t get consistent returns from two previous agencies now has a predictable revenue machine. And the engagement is ongoing because the numbers speak for themselves.

Why Ishant Sharma and Hustle Marketers Delivered Where Others Didn’t

Their previous two agencies weren’t incompetent. They just didn’t have a system for e-commerce PPC at the level this brand needed.

Here’s what Ishant Sharma brings to every account he touches:

Product feed expertise that most agencies don’t have.

We’ve optimized feeds for pet products, automotive parts (12.84x ROAS for ArmorPoxy), hobby and collectibles (9x ROAS for P-Rex Hobby), beauty brands, sporting goods, and baby products. Feed quality is the single biggest variable in Shopping and PMax performance, and most agencies treat it as an afterthought.

Margin-based campaign structures.

We don’t bid the same on every product. If a product has 60% margins, it gets aggressive bids. If it’s a $10 accessory with 15% margins, it gets capped. This sounds obvious but you’d be surprised how many agencies run flat bidding across an entire catalog.

Real screenshots, not mock-ups. Every case study on our site shows actual dashboard data. That $251K revenue number isn’t estimated. And 6.89x ROAS isn’t a projection. These are screenshots pulled directly from the client’s Google Ads account with their permission.

591+ verified reviews at 4.9/5. That’s across Clutch, Google, Upwork (Top Rated Plus, 99% Job Success Score), Trustpilot, and GoodFirms. We don’t lock clients into contracts because the results keep them.
