Brand Campaign Test Update

Target Impression Share Test: Delivering Strong Results

We are currently testing a Target Impression Share bidding strategy on the Brand campaign. The goal is to capture a greater share of brand searches while reducing CPCs, then reallocate the savings into higher-value generic campaigns.

Metric Feb 2026 Jan 2026 Change Feb 2025 YoY
Impressions 10,202 6,371 +60% 6,249 +63%
Clicks 2,647 1,837 +44% 972 +172%
Avg. CPC $1.56 $3.23 -52% $6.91 -77%
Cost $4,128 $5,941 -31% $6,716 -39%
Conversions 92 76 +21% 71 +30%
CPA $44.87 $78.21 -43% $94.59 -53%

Key Takeaway

The Target Impression Share strategy has reduced Brand CPCs by over 50%, giving us significantly more market share at a lower cost. The ~$1,800/month in savings compared to January is being reinvested into the Business Overdraft and Equipment Line campaigns where conversion value is highest. We will continue running this test as results are very positive.

CPA $71.88 $87.00 -17% $91.14 -21%

Note: Impressions are lower YoY due to paused campaigns (Vehicle Finance, Performance Max) that were active in Feb 2025. The focus has shifted to higher-converting search campaigns, which is reflected in the significantly higher CTR and conversion volume.
