How True Gut Achieved 3× ROAS on Google PPC in the UK Health Supplements Market
True Gut is a UK-based health supplement brand specialising in gut health, digestive wellness, and probiotic formulations. We built a Google PPC strategy that captured high-intent supplement buyers searching for gut health solutions achieving a consistent 3× ROAS in one of the UK’s most competitive health and wellness search environments.
A UK Supplement Brand Losing Budget to Broad Keywords in a Competitive Search Environment
The UK health supplement market is extremely competitive on Google brands like Holland & Barrett and well-funded D2C competitors dominate broad supplement terms, making broad-match campaigns prohibitively expensive for challenger brands. True Gut’s previous PPC structure was targeting generic supplement keywords that attracted browsers rather than buyers.
Supplement advertising on Google also requires careful navigation of health claim restrictions ad copy can’t make unverified therapeutic claims, which significantly constrains messaging options. Without a compliant, high-converting copy framework, campaigns struggled to achieve meaningful Quality Scores.
Achieve a minimum 2.5× ROAS from Google PPC within 60 days targeting high-intent gut health and probiotic search queries with a compliant, conversion-focused campaign structure.

Shopping Campaigns for Direct Purchase
Google Shopping campaigns with optimised product feed (compelling titles, benefit-led descriptions, competitive pricing signals) captured additional purchase intent from comparison-shopping searchers.
Problem-Aware vs Solution-Aware Keywords Need Separate Campaigns
Mixing 'gut health' (problem-aware) and 'probiotic supplement UK' (solution-aware) keywords in the same campaign resulted in averaged bidding that underserved both segments.
