What to do when nobody searches for your product

Search cannot find demand that does not exist. Something has to create it first.

Check it is actually true

Often demand exists under a different name — the problem rather than the product, or a category term you had not considered. The search terms report on a small broad-match test answers this cheaply.

If it really is new

Demand Gen and YouTube create awareness; Search then harvests the category and brand searches that follow. Expect the Search account to grow after the discovery spend, not alongside it.

How to judge it

Not on the discovery campaign’s own ROAS, which will look poor. On total account revenue and on whether branded search volume is rising.
