FlySports379% to 926% ROAS in 3 months

Broken product feeds and no branded search were capping international growth. We rebuilt the Google Ads account from the ground up, then scaled into new markets.

Context

FlySports sells boxing and combat sports equipment online — gloves are the core product, with worldwide shipping. They're the official sponsor of boxer Daniel Dubois. Selling across the UK, US, Australia, and other Tier 1/2 markets, running everything through Google Ads.

The challenge

Country feeds were patched together by hand — wrong titles, wrong currency, wrong availability, constant disapprovals. Reporting was fragmented, so nobody could tell which market was leaking money.

What we did

  • Audited the account top to bottom — tracking, structure, competitors, market pricing — before changing anything.
  • Fixed conversion tracking with enhanced conversions so the optimization data was actually trustworthy.
  • Rebuilt campaigns around what was already selling, instead of spreading budget evenly across the catalog.
  • Localized and launched dedicated campaigns for France, Germany, and Australia.

Outcome

ROAS grew from 379% to 926% over the three-month rebuild window, verified month by month against the account itself. Over the following 12 months, the account managed £121K in spend at a 925% ROAS, generating £1.12M in tracked sales — while running across the UK, US, Australia, and three newly launched markets. No sitewide discount drove it — the growth curve tracks the rebuild, not a promo calendar.
