Scaling from €10k to €50k a month without breaking it

Most accounts break on the way up because the weaknesses were always there and the budget was too small to expose them.

Before you start

  • Tracking verified against real orders — scaling on double-counted conversions is how stores lose serious money fast.
  • Break-even known, so you can tell whether a rising CPA is acceptable.
  • Brand separated, so growth is visibly real and not just more of the demand you had.
  • Fulfilment that holds at five times the volume.

The order

  1. Raise budgets on campaigns already above break-even and capped — lowest-risk money there is.
  2. Add search coverage for converting terms that have no dedicated campaign.
  3. Open a second channel only once Search has genuinely run out of room.
  4. Add markets last, and only where operations can serve them.

Expect efficiency to soften

Cheap demand gets harvested first. A 4x falling to 3.2x while spend triples is usually a much better business. Scale against profit, not against the ratio.
