    Lone Star Marine AU case study hero image - Google Ads - Niche Marine Product Campaigns

    Lone Star Marine manufactures premium anchor winches, bow sprits, and marine accessories in Australia. As a niche manufacturer selling high-ticket products ($500-$5,000+), they needed Google Ads to capture the limited but high-intent search demand for anchor winches, marine equipment, and specific product models.

    A Performance Max and Branded Search strategy delivered 31.93 conversions at $21.89 CPA on just $699.07 spend - proving that niche manufacturers can achieve strong results with modest budgets when traffic quality is ruthlessly maintained.
