SuperDNA: Google Ads for a Malaysian Genetic-Testing Brand, Return on Ad Spend from 1.4× to 4.1×

Google Search and Performance Max for SuperDNA, the Malaysian consumer genetic-testing brand operated by MyGenome Sdn Bhd — high-intent keyword control, negative filters and landing page conversion work, measured in paid revenue, return on ad spend and cost per paying customer across Q1–Q3 2026.

The client

SuperDNA is a Malaysian consumer genetic-testing brand, operated by MyGenome Sdn Bhd, selling DNA test kits online — including its Ultimate DNA, CancerDetect™ and SuperKids ranges. We also run its SEO (see the SuperDNA SEO case study); this case covers the paid search account.

The problem

Broad-match spend was going on informational and free-genealogy searches, the paid landing pages converted under 1% of visitors, and the account's ads rarely held the top of the page for the searches that matter. At the start of 2026 every RM 1 of Google spend returned RM 1.40, and each paying customer cost RM 410 in media.

What we did

  • Query control. Broad-match informational spend removed and low-intent free-genealogy searches blocked with negative keywords.
  • Bidding by product. SKU-specific target return on ad spend on the higher-margin kits, with bundles and family and paediatric packages as cross-sells.
  • Better conversion data. Enhanced Conversions matching first-party orders through GA4, and recent purchasers excluded from the ad pool for 30 days.
  • Timing and geography. Bid tiers by location and bids weighted to evening research hours.
  • Landing page conversion. Checkout cut from five fields to two, faster mobile pages under 1.8 seconds, and variant testing on the paid landing pages.
  • Ad relevance. Fifteen tailored headlines per ad group, plus structured sitelinks and consultation callouts.

What this means for your genetic-testing brand

The plain-language version. Over the first three quarters of 2026, every RM 1 of Google spend went from returning RM 1.40 to RM 4.10, paid search revenue grew from about RM 48,000 to RM 187,200 a month, and each paying customer cost RM 172 instead of RM 410 — while the account's ads held the top of the page for 78% of eligible searches instead of 22%.
