We Turned Off Brand Search in Google Ads and Saved €60,000
About this episode
A client was spending €5,000 a month on branded search because a YouTube tutorial said to, so we ran a geo test to prove it either way.
In this episode of the Google Ads Unleashed Podcast, host Jeremy walks through a full brand search incrementality test for a toothbrush brand, splitting Germany into two equal regions, running a six-week geo holdout, and tracking every metric.
The results were unambiguous: revenue in the test region was only 0.6% lower, organic clicks rose 22%, and paid search orders that disappeared were almost entirely replaced by organic, confirming that branded search demand was already theirs at zero cost.
