We recently doubled the Instacart ROAS for one of our valued clients by implementing a series of optimization strategies. In this article, we share the steps we took to achieve this, and how you too can replicate our success on Instacart.

High-Quality Product Photos

Visual appeal plays a crucial role in capturing customers’ attention and driving conversions. Upon auditing our client’s presence on Instacart, we saw an opportunity to improve the product imagery to help their products stand out on Instacart’s virtual shelf. The enhanced visual experience resulted in increased click-through rates and ultimately higher conversion rates.

Compelling Product Descriptions

To complement the improved product imagery, we revamped the product descriptions for our client. We focused on crafting compelling and informative descriptions that highlighted the unique features, benefits, and value propositions of each product. By clearly communicating the product’s value, we were able to entice shoppers and provide them with the necessary information to make purchasing decisions. The improved product descriptions played a crucial role in increasing customer engagement and conversion rates.

Optimized Instacart Search Ads
