Asha Sweet Center

A 75-year-old Bengaluru mithai brand (18+ branches) turned its online ordering and 45-minute hyperlocal delivery into a channel that shows up across search, Shopping, and local results — not just word of mouth.
The Challenge
- Strong offline recall across Bengaluru, but almost no visibility for "sweets online Bengaluru" and year-round gifting searches.
- A huge catalogue — sweets, namkeen, dry fruits, sugar-free range, corporate gifting — made product feeds and Merchant Center upkeep genuinely heavy.
- Competing with food apps meant ads and organic search had to work as one system, with the website kept clean, fast and true to what was advertised.
What We Did — Role by Role
How each service worked inside the account, the funnel, and the website.
A full-funnel search and Performance Max structure, split by intent so money keywords and automated discovery never fight for the same budget.
- Account split into three job types: branded search (protect "Asha Sweets" recall), non-branded category campaigns (sweets online Bengaluru, gift hampers, dry fruits), and occasion campaigns (Diwali, wedding gifting, corporate gifting) with separate budgets.
- Location targeting separated into Bengaluru hyperlocal (45-minute delivery promise in ad copy) and pan-India delivery audiences, so the message matches the service.
- Performance Max activated alongside search to retarget visitors and feed purchase signals into Google’s automation, while standard campaigns kept control on money keywords.
- Call and website-conversion tracking wired end to end; negative-keyword hygiene removed purely informational terms so budget only hit shoppers.
- Weekly optimisation loop: query report mining for new keywords, device and time-of-day bid adjustments, and landing-page swaps whenever a conversion rate dipped.
Product feeds treated as a living asset — structured, approved, and seasonally labelled so Shopping earns its place.
- Product feed built and maintained from Shopify: titles and descriptions rewritten to match real buying searches (product + occasion + size combos).
- Custom labels added for festival season and margin tiers, letting Shopping campaigns prioritise the right products at the right time.
- GTIN, brand and image attributes cleaned for approval; stock and price synced from the store so nothing got caught disapproved.
- Promotions and product-rating annotations enabled, and free listings switched on so the catalogue also won non-paid shelf space.
- Feed diagnostics reviewed weekly — disapproved items, price drops, missing attributes — before they could hurt performance.
Local, product and occasion content built around how Bengaluru actually searches for mithai online.
- Dedicated local pages for the branch network with consistent name-address-phone data and map embedding.
- Structured data deployed and validated: LocalBusiness, Product, FAQ and review schema to qualify for rich results.
- A festival content calendar (Diwali, Ugadi, wedding season, corporate gifting) timed to capture seasonal search spikes.
- Review-generation flow encouraged post-delivery, feeding local trust signals into the map pack.
- Technical SEO pass: site speed, crawl/index coverage and canonical hygiene fixed early so ad traffic boosted organic equity.
The store kept selling while we kept it true to every ad — catalogue, analytics, and conversion flow.
- Catalogue QA on naming, images, pricing and stock flags; every campaign landing page verified before any ad budget switched on.
- UTM and analytics plumbing so every click could be traced to source, campaign and keyword in reporting.
- Conversion work on the hyperlocal quick-order flow and checkout, reducing friction and surfacing the 45-minute delivery promise.
- Festival and gift-hampers merchandised on the homepage so paid traffic landed on a page that converts, not a dead end.
The Outcome
- ✓Visible across search, Shopping and local results for festival and gifting demand, exactly when mithai shoppers start hunting.
- ✓A trackable order flow through the quick-order hyperlocal site and the pan-India delivery funnel.
- ✓Consistently live, error-free product feeds — fewer ad rejections and healthier Shopping quality.
- ✓Month-on-month reporting that ties spend to enquiries, calls and orders instead of vanity clicks.
