“We saw it all, from mediocre to outright rip‑off.”

The challenge

Agency dependence, stalled growth, then a hard cut.

What the Naehplatz.de team went through is familiar to many mid‑sized retailers: complete dependence on external agencies, rising costs, stagnating results.

“We used to work with agencies. At some point we hit the ceiling. There was no more growth.”

The response was radical: all marketing stopped. Without visibility, revenue collapsed. Running Google Ads in‑house quickly hit its limits: “It’s incredibly complex to understand every corner of an ads account. The expertise simply wasn’t there.”

The solution

Google Ads run in‑house, professional results, no monthly retainer.

A recommendation led Naehplatz.de to Cloudginny. The goal: run Google Ads at agency quality themselves, without an agency contract, without a steep learning curve. The trial delivered visible results fast, and moving to a Pro plan was the real turning point.

Transparency, not a black box

The team runs the campaigns itself, without having to be a Google Ads expert. Full control, no agency middleman.

Ginny instead of busywork

Budgets and keywords adjusted with a simple chat command. Hours of manual work, gone.

Safety, not budget anxiety

Cloudginny actively guards against overspending. The team scales with confidence, no nasty surprises at the end of the month.

What used to take days

Splitting a PMax campaign into “sewing machines” and “accessories” used to take days and agency back‑and‑forth. Today it happens in seconds.

The result

Stable performance, full control, growth that pays off.

Performance has stabilised. Visibility is now fully controllable, with no fear of runaway costs. And marketing costs stay permanently below 5% of revenue.

“Without investing in campaigns, you don’t get the reach you need. But for it to be sustainable, it has to be profitable, and it should even be fun for the retailer. With Cloudginny, we’ve finally found that balance.”
