Case Study · Manufacturing · AdBlue (DEF)

From a standing start to 3× monthly sales for an AdBlue producer

PureDrive manufactures AdBlue (diesel exhaust fluid) in Cherkasy and sells to both drivers and recurring B2B fleets. In nine months of full-funnel Google + Meta, we turned a near-zero paid presence into a predictable sales engine.

01 — The Challenge

A technical product, two very different buyers, and almost no paid footprint

AdBlue isn't an impulse buy. It has to meet the ISO 22241 standard to be safe for a vehicle's SCR system — so buyers research quality before they purchase. PureDrive needed to win two audiences at once: individual drivers buying by the canister, and fleets, fuel stations and logistics companies buying in bulk. Paid advertising was starting close to scratch.

No structured paid presence — demand was being left on the table
A trust-sensitive, spec-driven product that buyers vet before purchase
Two buyer types (retail + wholesale) needing different messages
No clear read on which clicks actually produced orders

02 — The Strategy

One full-funnel system — each channel doing one job

Instead of one catch-all campaign, we built a funnel where every channel has a defined role, so budget moves with intent — from first touch to repeat order.

01

Create demand

Meta, Discovery & GDN introduce the brand and the quality story to drivers and fleets.

02

Capture intent

Search & Shopping catch high-intent buyers at the exact moment they're ready to order.

03

Convert & repeat

Remarketing and full-journey tracking turn first orders into a repeat fleet base.

03 — Execution

Built the channels — then measured the whole journey

Every step to a sale was tracked

Because a spec-sensitive product is bought on trust, we measured the micro-conversions that lead to an order — not just the final click.

  • Read the quality / SOS content 0
  • Viewed the certificate 0
  • Added to cart 0
  • Clicked the phone number 0
  • Submitted a form 0

Built on trust

A certified product deserves a certified-quality funnel

AdBlue is judged on purity. Buyers don't just want a price — they want proof the fluid meets ISO 22241 before it goes anywhere near an SCR system. So we made the proof impossible to miss: the certificate, the quality indicators and the catalog were surfaced at every step, and every interaction with them was tracked as a signal of intent.

  • Certificate & quality content pushed to the front of the journey
  • Retail (per-canister) and wholesale (bulk) paths handled separately
  • Every quality-content view tracked as a buying signal

05 — Why It Worked

Three decisions that made the difference

Full-funnel architecture

Cheap reach on Meta, high-intent capture on Search & Shopping, and remarketing to close — each channel earning its place.

Trust-led for a spec product

We pushed the certificate and quality content that an ISO 22241 buyer needs to see before committing — and tracked who engaged.

Measurement discipline

Every micro-step to a sale was tracked, so budget always followed the campaigns producing real orders and new clients.
