The challenge

Ad spend going to *customers already committed to buy.*

YESSS Electrical is the fastest growing electrical wholesaler in the UK. Established in Europe for almost 50 years, it has over 95 stores nationwide open to trade and public, and specialist teams covering EV and renewables, industrial, security and lighting.

The business is consistently successful, but the leadership team wanted to reach new customers beyond its core clients and the customers with exclusive accounts. YESSS joined forces with us on an ongoing, integrated paid advertising and SEO strategy to grow visibility, traffic and revenue.

YESSS was already running Google Ads, but much of the budget went on customers already committed to buy through exclusive contracts. On the site, many paths to product ran four or five category pages deep, with weak and duplicate string endings.

The B2B lead generation system

The parts of the system we used.

This project focused on one part of the system: reactive search. SEO and Google Ads ran as one strategy, both aimed at customers YESSS did not already have.

SEO and Google Ads worked together. A category restructure, new content and technical fixes lifted rankings, while custom conversions and shopping-only Performance Max focused paid spend on B2C and non-exclusive sales.

What we did

Rank the right pages, *reward the right sales.*

Square 1:1
Step 01

Restructure and optimise

After extensive research, our SEO team built a detailed roadmap to put YESSS at the top of search for the keywords that matter most. Weighing monthly search volume against competition and relevance, we worked on pages in order of potential impact on sales, expanding content with FAQs and in-depth category information.

A major category restructure, prioritised by search volume hierarchy, cut long paths to product and removed duplication, cannibalisation and unnecessary indexing. Several keywords climbed straight away. Ongoing work covers site health, page speed, keyword cluster and seasonality data, URL restructuring and redirects, plus indexing fixes: a resubmitted sitemap and manual requests for priority pages.

Step 02

Reward the right sales

We took control of YESSS's Google Ads account to win more sales from B2C and non-exclusive buyers, and to stop spend going on exclusive-account clicks that organic search could have won. Custom purchase conversions only trigger for certain purchase types, such as a B2C or non-exclusive sale, so Google does not reward the ads for an exclusive sale. That biases them towards new customers.

Meanwhile, the paid campaigns sent more traffic to the pages we had optimised, as well as the wider YESSS site.

Step 03

Cut wasted spend

Our Performance Max analysis scripts found a large amount of wasted spend on the Display Network. Those peripheral placements were using budget without generating sales. Acting on the data, we moved to shopping-only Performance Max campaigns, removing image and text assets so they no longer serve on Display or Google search. This asset-less method focuses spend on Shopping, where profitability was greatest.

Budget is redistributed towards the campaigns that perform best for B2C and non-exclusive sales, not simply those with the most conversions.
