13.72x Return on Ad Spend for a KSA Pharmacy Chain

Pharmacy is a regulated, high-intent category where broad paid budgets get wasted fast.

The challenge

The hard part is efficiency: spend that actually turns into orders instead of cheap, low-intent clicks.

The solution

We built the account around high-intent, purchase-ready queries, optimised toward conversion value and return on ad spend rather than impressions, and held a tight test-and-cut loop across creative, keywords, and audiences.

The outcome

The program returned 13.72x on ad spend in its first quarter, profitable from the start. Discipline over volume: every riyal pointed at queries that were ready to buy.
