Search Lift study for Wittchen:

How do campaigns on Meta increase sales

and search traffic?

The Challenge

Wittchen, a leader in the segment of leather goods and premium accessories, conducts marketing activities across many channels, including Google and Meta. The purchase process in the fashion industry often starts digitally, but the purchase decision may be deferred over time. The brand needed hard data to answer questions about the real impact of advertising campaigns on Meta on online sales, as well as on direct website visits and paid and organic traffic.

The Strategy

A strong, long-standing partnership with Meta allowed us to carry out multi-stage activities on Wittchen’s account that aimed to provide answers to these questions.

We began by combining automated Advantage+ campaigns with manual campaigns to increase brand awareness, traffic, and sales. Using Advantage+ audience groups in campaigns allowed Meta’s algorithms to go beyond basic targeting parameters and reach new people potentially interested in Wittchen’s products.

Next, Advantage+ ads were automatically directed to users most likely to make a purchase, while maintaining exposure among the brand’s key target group. We additionally applied Advantage detailed targeting to identify audience groups delivering better or cheaper results.

Aware of the limitations of last-click attribution, we configured custom conversions for events related to search (organic and paid). Thanks to the prior implementation of the Conversion API, we were able to securely transmit data, obtaining a more complete picture of user behavior.

Finally, we conducted a Meta Conversion Lift test at the account level using the Search Lift methodology. The study made it possible to measure the hard-to-capture impact of campaigns on Facebook and Instagram on search traffic and key performance indicators such as sales.

The Results

+40%

conversion (purchase) compared to people who did not see ads on Meta

+63%

direct website visits after contact with the campaign on Meta

+38%

website visits from Google ads after contact with the campaign on Meta

+29%

organic website traffic after contact with the campaign on Meta

The study confirmed that Wittchen’s campaigns on Meta, both in the manual model and the automated Advantage+, have a real and measurable impact on consumer behavior. Meta not only generates additional traffic (direct, organic, and paid) but also increases sales. The combination of Conversion API and Search Lift gave Wittchen a full picture of the purchase path and proved that ads in the Meta ecosystem effectively support the brand’s performance and sales goals.
